So, ASUS is getting a knack for making April Fool’s announcements that look like it could be a joke, that then turns out to be a very real product. It started in 2023 with the , which has gotten enough popularity to warrant this year's refresh. And now, they've done it again with the  . with enough juice to power an RTX 4080 gaming system for up to an hour, which is quite the feat, but that’s not all. The Mjolnir is also supposed to be a portable outdoors system with support for solar panel recharging and is designed to look exactly like the namesake hammer of a certain Norse god of thunder. Surely, this had to be a joke. Well, I had a chance to test my worthiness at Computex 2024, as I bore witness to the very-real greatness ROG Mjolnir. It features a chunky , which as mentioned before, can power an for up to , or a for up to . As a UPS backup, the ROG Mjolnir boasts of a speedy capability when your main power is cut to keep your PC going. It has an LCD display with real-time info about its current power draw and remaining battery life. It has with a maximum load of 1200W, ports supporting , and two ports supporting up to  . The handle of Mjolnir is actually a magnetic, detachable torchlight, which fits the theme as I’d expect you’d want to have a torch handy if the power goes out. In a clever bit of design, the torch charges wirelessly when  attached; the base actually supports and is , so you can charge your phone too. These are very respectable specifications for a gaming UPS, but let’s be honest. The real draw is in its design as Thor’s hammer. If it was a classic UPS box, it would probably be overlooked. As is however, it was definitely a crowd-pleaser as there was a constant stream of people wanting to have a go at it. If I were to level any initial criticism, it's that I wish the flashlight was tougher and brighter, in the vein of a Maglite tactical torch. Otherwise, this is a solid attempt at designing a fan service product with real-world practical use.
