The companies partnering with Oculus and Facebook for Oculus-ready laptops include Asus, Alienware, Lenovo, and Aorus.
Oculus didn't specify how much these laptops would cost, but a quick search on Amazon shows they could be extremely pricey. The Oculus-ready Asus ROG G752VM, for example, costs $1,795. The Rift headset itself costs $600. That's somewhat surprising considering the new Timewarp and Spacewarp technologies that Oculus announced, which dramatically reduce the recommended processing power needed by the Oculus Rift.
