This week, the Republic of Gamers arm of Asus released a new gaming PC called the GR8, which implies that this machine will be great for PC gamers wanting a high-performance solution in a compact form factor. The unique chassis seems to speak "Steam Machine" thanks to its console-style appearance. Even the company says that the GR8 is inspired by consoles.
So what's inside this thing? That depends on the configuration. There's an Intel Core i7-4510U processor and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 750Ti GPU with 2 GB of GDDR5 VRAM. There are also two SO-DIMM slots that support up to 16 GB of 1600 MHz DDR3L memory; how much is installed depends on the configuration.
Also under the hood is one 2.5-inch 1 TB 7200 RPM hard drive or a 2.5-inch 256 GB SSD. There's also a 2.5-inch extension bay for a hard drive or an SSD, and 100 GB of free web storage for an entire year thanks to Asus WebStorage. Gigabit Ethernet and Wireless AC round out the PC's network connectivity.
