Fremont, CA (February 9th, 2010) - ASUS is excited to be the initial launch partner of NVIDIA® with the introduction of NVIDIA’s® Optimus™ technology in its latest range of notebooks shipping this month. The first Optimus™ based notebooks will include the multimedia enhanced N Series to be followed by the sleek new U30Jc/UL50Vf products. The ever versatile mainstream K Series will include models with Optimus™ technology in the near future.
NVIDIA® Optimus™ - Great Battery Life and Performance Arrive Together
NVIDIA’s® Optimus™ technology works intelligently in the background and monitors the programs being launched at any given moment. It then automatically selects between discrete and integrated graphics to deliver the best graphics performance and battery conservation respectively. Discrete graphics are used for applications such as games and high definition multimedia applications, while integrated graphics are used for operations such as email and document creation. The transition between discreet and integrated graphics is seamless and requires no user-intervention while delivering the best graphics quality and energy conservation at the same time.
ASUS N Series - Delivering the Best Multimedia Experience in a Notebook
Featuring cutting-edge NVIDIA® Optimus™ technology and powered by the new Intel® Core™ i5 and i7 processors, the new ASUS N Series is designed for users who desire multimedia entertainment in a energy efficient package. The ASUS N Series is equipped with USB 3.0 connectivity capable of multimedia transfer rates of up to 5GB per second—up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0’s 480MB per second rate. Another highlight of the new ASUS N Series is SonicMaster audio technology that fine-tunes noise balance, volume and dynamic sound ranges, while minimizing environmental interference which provides greatly improved audio quality in a mobile platform. Finally, the ASUS N Series features Video Magic software which boosts the resolution of conventional DVDs up to full high definition 1080p from the standard 480p, as well as naturalizing the color and brightness of the images displayed.
