Consumer Electronics Show, Las Vegas, Nevada (January 9, 2012) - ASUS, a market leader in personal computer products, is displaying several of its latest offerings at the Pepcom Digital Experience! press event in Las Vegas today. Innovation is at the heart of ASUS design and this is especially true of its latest mobile computing products. Highlights of the show include the following products:
Eee Pad Transformer Prime: Incredibly Slim yet Incredibly Powerful
Featuring an ultra-slim form factor, the Transformer Prime is only 8.3mm (0.33”) thin and weighs in at a mere 586g (1.29lbs without dock). This makes watching movies, surfing the web, playing games, taking photos, finishing up homework or video chatting with friends or family so easy and natural that you’ll wonder if the Transformer Prime was designed specifically with you in mind. Its innovative metallic swirl design is made of solid aluminum for a secure yet extremely comfortable grip. The high-resolution 10.1” IPS display offers a remarkably vivid and brilliant viewing experience of photos, books, videos, games, and more in either landscape or portrait mode outdoors, indoors and even in low-light places like an airplane or train. With NVIDIA’s next-generation quad-core Tegra® 3 processor featuring a 12-core GeForce® GPU and vSMP technology, the Transformer Prime delivers an optimum user experience featuring smooth multitasking capabilities, lightning fast app loading, a rich and fluid web experience, full 1080P HD video for realistic media playback or recording and of course, incredible gaming performance. Thanks to advanced power management features the Transformer Prime has a battery life of up to 12 hours*, but when combined with the mobile dock, it lasts up to an incredible 18 hours*, the longest battery life of any current tablet.
UX Series ZENBOOK™ - Exquisite Design
ASUS is noted for its innovative approach to product design, and nowhere else is this more evident than in the new UX Series, developed in close cooperation with Intel® to ensure the best products become available to consumers. These astonishingly thin Ultrabooks are made possible through the use of a strong but light aluminum alloy shell with a unique ‘spun’ finish on polished surfaces. The artistry of the series draws inspiration from luxury timepieces, displaying sharp edges, an oversized keyboard and smartphone-like touchpad for added comfort, as well as reinforced hinges for extended longevity. Measuring a mere 17mm at its thickest point, the needle-thin UX Series nonetheless packs impressive specifications, with the latest 2nd generation Intel Core™ mobile processors up to the powerful i7, SATA 6Gb/s solid-state drives, Bluetooth™ V4.0, USB 3.0, Bang & Olufsen ICEpower® audio technology and the Instant On feature, which resumes the notebook in about two seconds and features incredible standby times up to ten days*.
ASUS U46SV - Innovation in Portability
ASUS continues to innovate in PC portability. ASUS has fused a stunning high-end design with the very latest mobile technology to create the incredible U46SV. This latest U Series features a thin and light chassis and advanced power technology that provides up to 10 hours* of battery life. Users further benefit from the implementation of several additional technologies on the new N Series notebooks, including USB 3.0, Bluetooth V3.0, incredible video performance from NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 540M with Optimus® technology and the latest 2nd Generation Intel Core™ i5 processor featuring Turbo Boost for additional processing power when needed.
ASUS ET2700 - Unbelievable Performance from an All-in-One PC
The elegant ET2700 comes with a multitude of convenient features including the touch-optimized ASUS Cinema software, making it easier and more comfortable to surf the web, browse through movies and music, or edit photos. The power of Intel’s 2nd generation Core™ Processor technology and optional NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 540M graphics ensures that handling demanding workloads, viewing high definition media content or gaming is smoother and quicker than ever. The 27” Full HD touchscreen features multi-touch controls for an intuitive and immersive touch experience in addition to the standard wireless keyboard/mouse inputs. Connectivity is not a problem with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports, a 3-in-1 card reader, e-SATA port and 802.11 N wireless capabilities. A HDMI input port turns the ET2700 into a brilliant 27” display for gaming consoles or for use as a second monitor with a desktop or notebook computer. Engineered by audio experts, ASUS SonicMaster technology delivers crystal-clear, immersive audio that is perfect for music, movies or presentations. DTS Surround Sensation UltraPC™ further enhances audio enjoyment by offering incredible surround sound options. Its VESA mount allows the slim all-in-one PC to be placed almost anywhere, making it ideal for smaller living areas or professional offices where space is at a premium.
ASUS RT-N66U - Superior Wireless Performance melds with Advanced Design
The RT-N66U dual-band gigabit wireless router delivers incredible network speeds and coverage for the best wireless experience. It is effectively two routers in one, delivering combined wireless speeds of up to 900Mbps through double 450Mbps bands operating separately at 2.4GHz and 5GHz. The RT-N66U is the ideal networking solution optimized for demanding tasks like multiplayer gaming, HD video streaming, and file sharing. The RT-N66U is the first router to implement the new advanced ASUS user interface. Basic Wi-Fi settings are pre-configured out of the box and once connected to a wireless network, the user is automatically directed to a web-based setup page. The ASUS dashboard lets users monitor and adjust network settings easily; while a download manager allows for file downloads with the PC off, along with remote management of mobile devices like tablets and smartphones.
