Oh, and the motorcar could be 24 inches, too.

ROG hasn't said whether its unnamed ironware is a production machine, merely implied that more will Be revealed at the Computex show next week in Taiwan.

"What we buns say is that same of the highlights from the laboratory is an overclockable play laptop computer that will rival flatbottomed gaming desktops," the ship's company said in a blog post.
