Asus’s most electrifying product at Computex isn’t its AI laptops, though those certainly are part of this year’s hot new tech. No, it’s the ROG Mjolnir Portable Gaming UPS, a confusingly named but clearly awesome portable power station described by the company as “designed for both indoor gaming and outdoor activities.”
Typically, uninterrupted power supplies (UPS) run only off AC power and aren’t meant to go outdoors, while portable power stations have more options for charging and can be hauled around. Asus’s Mjolnir bridges this gap with a 768Wh lithium-ion phosphate battery, a 10ms switchover time, four AC outlets, two USB-A ports, and two USB-C ports. It supports USB-C Fast Charging up to 100W and Qi 2.0 MagSafe-compatible wireless charging, with solar energy recharge capability.
Asus claims this portable power station can keep you gaming on a PC with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 for up to an hour. You can monitor the remaining power through the unit’s LCD display, and the hammer handle doubles as a magnetic flashlight. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but based on similar power stations, expect it to be between $600 and $800.
No release date has been announced yet—Asus only has it listed as “coming soon” on its website. But all good things come to those who wait.
