Asus announces ROG Zephyrus G14 with programmable LED matrix

[Stefan]

Dynamic and ready to travel, the pioneering ROG Zephyrus G14 is the world's most powerful 14-inch Windows 10 Pro gaming laptop.

Featuring a first-of-its-kind AniMe Matrix™ display, the G14 offers deep personalization in a truly unique way. The groundbreaking display is made up of over a thousand individual mini-LEDs that can be used to display custom images and animations that express your creativity and audio visualizations that match music playback. Future updates will enable status notifications that keep you in the loop on new messages, battery life, and more.

Looks like the next challenge for GeeXLab

Not clear if the LED matrix is really programmable (via a c/c++ sdk) or if it's just some custom effects via an utility... If we can program it, sure it's for GeeXLab

The monochrome palette and pixelated pattern have a deliberately retro feel with surprising flexibility. You can import animated GIFs and other graphics, build custom animations frame by frame, and type text messages with different fonts. Visualizations react to music and other audio, creating a unique platform for DJs and other artists. An upcoming update will enable system functions that show new email notifications in addition to the date, time, and battery level. Mix multiple types of content for an even more custom look.

Hi...like past Zephyrus PCs, the G14 is intended to be a super light and compact gaming machine that actually conveys enough top of the line capacity to play current games. It weighs simply over 3.5 pounds, however it actually vows to convey 10.5 long periods of battery life.
