Of course, the ASUS Share 2024 promo has a lot of devices on offer, so picking and choosing between these may be a bit of a challenge. Don’t worry as we have here a handy list of Christmas Gift ideas for your techie family and friends. This guide is also split into different types of users, starting first with gamers.

For Competitive Gaming Fans: The TUF Gaming A14

Competitive multiplayer games like Dota 2 or Valorant continue to be incredibly popular, and if you’re looking for a laptop to gift to a competitive gamer, you can look no further than the TUF Gaming A14 2024. During the Share 2024 Promo, each purchase of the A14 will come with a PHP 5,000 Sole Academy e-voucher for some bonus sneakers!

This laptop is powered by an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 Processor that’s complemented by an RTX 4060 laptop GPU, meaning it can run today’s popular esports titles at high framerates with ease, even at higher resolutions.

What’s also great about this laptop is its screen. The TUF Gaming A14 has a 14-inch 2.5k resolution screen with a fast 165Hz refresh rate, meaning it can take advantage of its CPU and GPU combo’s power. On top of this, the laptop’s screen has G-Sync for a tear-free experience, along with a MUX Switch for lower latency – extra important for competitive esports titles.

For Lifestyle Gamers: The ROG Zephyrus G Series

Now, if you’re looking to gift a laptop to a gamer who prefers immersive AAA titles in a lightweight design, the ROG Zephyrus G14 and G16 are the way to go. As with the TUF Gaming laptop, buying any of these two Zephryrus G laptops will give buyers a PHP 5,000 Sole Academy e-voucher.

For years now, the Zephyrus G14 has been one of our favorite gaming laptops given its excellent balance of great performance and portability. The 2024 G14 model is no exception as it is powered by up to a Ryzen 9 8945HS processor and RTX 4070 laptop GPU combo. All of this while having a 14-inch ROG Nebula display with a 3K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, along with a thin and light form factor.

While the G14 is perhaps the best choice for those who value portability while having plenty of power, the Zephyrus G16 is a great option for gamers who prefer a laptop with a bigger and more immersive display. Specifically, it has a 16-inch ROG Nebula display with a 240Hz refresh rate and a 2.5k resolution. It is also powered by up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H CPU and an RTX 4080 laptop graphics card.

Plus, both Zephryus G models also come with ROG Intelligent Cooling to prevent overheating, along with the sleek yet eye-catching Slash Design that gives it a “gamer” aesthetic without going overboard.

For School and Work Needs: The ASUS Vivobook S 15

Now, if you’re looking for a gift for someone in school or working in an office, what you’ll want to check out is a laptop built with productivity in mind. As such, the new Vivobook S 15 should be the laptop on your shopping list.

The Vivobook S 15 is ASUS’ new Copilot+ PC, meaning it’s an AI laptop. Specifically, the Vivobook S 15 features up to a Snapdragon X Elite processor with a dedicated AI chip which should help increase performance in AI workflows. What’s more, it also packs the latest native Windows AI features, including Live Captions for videos and calls, Cocreator for local image generation, and more.

With its AI capabilities, the Vivobook S 15 should help optimize the workflow of students and office professionals. After all, AI has advanced quite a lot over the past years, meaning they have become invaluable partners to many users.

Of course, the S 15 is one of the premium options in the lineup, but the Vivobook family also has a wide array of other models to choose from that are more affordable. These include the Vivobook Go family along with the Vivobook 16, 14, and 15. The starting models of these lineups are priced at well under PHP 30,000, giving buyers more options.

Just for ASUS Share 2024, the Vivobook lineup comes with up to PHP 5,000 Sole Academy e-vouchers.

For Productive Multitaskers: The ASUS Zenbook Duo

On the flip side, if you’re looking to splurge on a laptop for family members who need a good productivity partner, the ASUS Zenbook Duo is the way to go. After all, this laptop is a true dual-screen device that should prove invaluable for work and creative output, as well as for some rest and relaxation.

When editing photos or creating digital art, having a touch display, or better yet two, is the way to go. In this regard, the Zenbook Duo is perhaps the perfect match as it has dual 14-inch 3K ASUS Lumina OLED 120 Hz touch displays. This combo should give users plenty of flexibility when creating content, even while on the go.

These two screens are also great for productivity as having two displays is perfect for work-related tasks. For instance, if you’re working on a presentation, you can have PowerPoint open on one screen while other necessary files are open on another. What’s more, the latest Zenbook Duo is a great match for AI workflows thanks to its integrated NPU and Windows’ Copilot. As such, you can have Copilot or other AI-assisted software open on one screen while the main display is still free for various tasks.

It also helps that the laptop has a powerful Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, along with 32GB of LPDDR5X memory and a 1TB PCIe SSD. Thanks to this, performance and storage shouldn’t be an issue for most artists.

The Zenbook DUO comes with PHP 5,000 Sole Academy e-vouchers just for the season.

For the Gamer on the Go: The ROG Ally X

We’ve mentioned some great gaming laptops in this shopping guide, but for someone who wants a true gaming on-the-go device, the ROG Ally X is pretty much the perfect gift, especially as each purchase during the Share 2024 promo will come with a PHP 2,000 Sole Academy e-voucher.

Released earlier this year, the ROG Ally X is ASUS’ newer handheld gaming PC that packs plenty of improvements over its predecessor. The most significant is the battery which is now double in size, meaning it can run even AAA games for a couple of hours on battery power. If you play less demanding games, you can get even more gaming time without being plugged in.

What’s more, its Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor continues to impress as it’s powerful enough to be a desktop or laptop replacement if you hook up a monitor and peripherals on it. Finally, the Ally X has improved controls that not only feel better but should also have better longevity.

For Avid Mobile Gamers: The ROG Phone 8

Finally, if your family member or friend is a fan of mobile games (be it gacha games or MOBAs), the ROG Phone 8 is the gift to get. This latest model in ROG’s signature smartphone line won’t disappoint for gaming as it’s powered by a top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. It also has a 6.78-inch Samsung AMOLED screen for a great mobile gaming experience, coupled with useful gaming features like the AirTriggers for more control options.

Gaming is the ROG Phone 8’s specialty, but it’s also a proper flagship in its own right. After all, this phone has a multi-camera setup, complete with a 3x telephoto for more flexible photography capabilities.
