It would be best not to beat ourselves up and start by realizing that this ASUS Mjolnir is undoubtedly a device that we did not expect. But so is this ASUS Mjolnir without a doubt a device that many of us needed. And depending on your knowledge of Norse mythology, either the image that opens this news has left you somewhere between indifferent and surprised, or you’ve already imagined yourself wielding it (with all cables removed, of course) like a real Æsir.

For the first ones, and before I explain what it consists of awesome geek surprising suggestion, it’s important to clarify Mjölnir is the hammer of the Norse god Thor (yes, it serves as a clear inspiration for Marvel’s Thor, who also wields his own Mjolnir), one of the deadliest weapons described in Norse mythology, capable of destroying mountains with a single blow in the hands of its god. Not for nothing is it said that Thor would have seen it and wished it had he not had the mythical hammer.

After this clarification to help newbies understand the design of ASUS Mjolnir, the next thing is also to clarify that no, that It’s not a joke to him april fools which took place yesterday in the English-speaking world, and this is something that ASUS itself clarified in a tweet in which he first showed it. And the report was published today, April 2, so there should not have been any suspicions in this regard. But of course in this case the clarification is more than justified.

THEY ARE REAL GAMERS!
Can you guess what feature we will add to complete your gaming experience?

And what exactly are we talking about? Well, from what we can see in the picture, ASUS Mjolnir is a portable battery with four power sockets, two USB-C ports and two additional USB-A ports. And that’s all we know about this device at the moment, and the rest of the information about this battery hammer is reserved by the company for a special ROG (Republic of Gamers) family event that will take place during the celebration of the Computex 2024 trade fair, which will open its doors 4th June.

However, we can infer it We are talking about a high-capacity battery, and we hope that it will also have a high performance. The first is indicated by the fact that it has no less than four pins, while the second is a deduction based on the fact that ASUS included it in the ROG catalog, in which all components shine with their performance. And yes, also just by looking at the size of the various connectors, we can see that this will be a device of size (and potentially weight) worth considering. But of course in these aspects it must also be on par with one of the most feared weapons in human history.
