You’ll hear a wider and deeper soundscape than you could imagine, unleashing the full audio potential of your laptop.

ASUS Audio Booster: Upgrade Your Audio Experience

ASUS Audio Booster uses unique audio algorithms to boost audio volume up to 1.5x and take your audio experience to the next level.

ErgoSense
ASUS ErgoSense Keyboard, Comfortable Typing Experience

Your comfort is ASUS highest priority. That’s why the ASUS ErgoSense keyboard has an incredibly satisfying feel, with the optimum key bounce and travel calculated with fine-tuned precision. Experience the ErgoSense keyboard and you’ll soon find yourself cruising effortlessly through your work.

Full-sized Keyboard: 19.05 mm

The full-size 19.05 mm key pitch is the same as a desktop keyboard so you can whizz through your work with superb typing comfort and accuracy.

Dished Key Caps: 0.2 mm

The 0.2 mm key-cap dish is designed to match the shape of your fingertips so your fingers are gently guided to the ideal contact point with the keys.

Long Key Travel: 1.4 mm

The long 1.4 mm key travel lets you type without having to use too much force. And the special ASUS-designed rubber dome guarantees your click force is met with just the right tactile bump you need for a nice grip.

0.1 mm Key Cap Relief

When fully depressed, the keys on the ErgoSense keyboard don’t sink below the level of the keyboard deck. The key caps remain at least 0.1 mm above the chassis surface, providing you with a comfortable, ergonomic typing experience.

Optimal Click Ratio: Engineered to Perfection

The feel of a keyboard depends on the crucial ratio between the peak force (also known as the actuation force) and the contact force. Peak force occurs when you press down on the key and reach the maximum force that the key’s underlying rubber dome can withstand without deflecting. Contact force occurs when the bottom of the key touches the circuit board to trigger an electronic signal, which in turn generates the action appropriate to the key. To achieve the most natural feel for a keyboard, ASUS keyboard experts have scientifically determined that the optimal ergonomic click ratio for a key is between 45-60%. These forces are precisely measured and tuned using the ASUS-designed rubber domes beneath the keys.

ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus
Inhibit 99% of COVID-19, Flu Virus & Bacteria*

ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus is applied to frequently touched areas of your laptop to help keep it hygienic. This technology uses a denser treatment* that inhibits viruses and bacteria. And it is scientifically shown — using the ISO 21702[3] and 22196[4] standards — to inhibit virus and bacteria growth by more than 99% over a 24-hour period. Strains used for the tests include the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), H3N2 (Influenza A) and the E. coli bacterium.

  • Proven 99% viral & bacterial inhibiting effect
  • ISO 21702 (virus inhibition)
  • ISO 22196 (bacterial inhibition)
  • At least 3 years of bacterial inhibition[1]

* ISO 21702 tests for SARS-CoV-2 Variants (Omicron, BA.5), H3N2, H1N1 and ISO 22196 tests for Staphylococcus and E. coli.

 

* Treatments are approved by US FIFRA & EU BPR.

 

Viruses and Bacteria Inhibition

Viruses and bacteria are everywhere in ASUS daily life. Antimicrobial Guard Plus inhibits all viruses and bacteria with an envelope (the outermost layer of many types of viruses and bacteria) from the surface of the protected parts. ISO 21702 testing shows that it can inhibit the growth of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), H1N1, H3N2 (Influenza A) and harmful bacteria.

SARS-CoV-2 Virus (COVID-19)

Since 2020, COVID-19 has ravaged the globe. More than 580M people[5] worldwide have been infected.

Influenza A (H3N2)

The influenza A and B viruses that routinely spread in people are responsible for seasonal flu epidemics each year.

E. Coli

Escherichia coli (abbreviated as E. coli) are bacteria found in the environment, foods. Although most strains of E. coli are harmless, others can make you sick.

Silver ions Prevents 99% Reproduction

ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus is a surface coating[6] on the laptop[7] that contains positively-charged silver ions. Silver ions and negatively-charged microbial cells are attracted to each other and then pierce the surface to damage their structure, inhibiting reproduction.

Without ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus, an estimated sample of 10,000 (pfu/ml) cells grew to 28,000 (pfu/ml). Performing the same test with Antimicrobial Guard Plus saw the count reduced to just 16 (pfu/ml) — a growth restriction of more than 99%.

User Experience: User Friendly Design
Unlock in One Touch

Accessing your device has never been easier or more secure! With the optional fingerprint sensor[1] in the touchpad and Windows Hello, there’s no need to type in your password every time — all you need is a single touch!

Notes:

1.Backlit keyboard and integrated fingerprint sensor are optional.

2.The testing regime includes the requirements of both military-grade standards and ASUS quality tests, and varies depending on device. MIL-STD-810 testing is conducted on selected ASUS products only. Note that the MIL-STD-810 testing helps to ensure the quality of ASUS products but does not indicate a particular fitness for military use. The test is performed under laboratory conditions. Additional coverage is available with ASUS Premium Care.

3.ISO 21702 specifies proper methods for measuring antiviral activity on plastics and other non-porous surfaces of antiviral-treated products. Test Viruses used in this International Standard are as follows: Influenza: An enveloped virus known to cause respiratory tract infection in humans. Feline calicivirus: A non-enveloped virus used in place of noroviruses known to cause enteric pathogens due to similar biological properties.

4.ISO 22196:2011 specifies a method of evaluating the antibacterial activity of antibacterial-treated plastics, and other non-porous, surfaces of products (including intermediate products).

5.As of 22 August 2022, refer to WHO Coronavirus (COVID-19) Dashboard.

6.The actual composition of ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus may vary.

7.ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus is applied to the laptop areas that users touch most frequently, including the palm rest area and keyboard. However, fingerprint sensor, touchpad and non-backlit keyboards use Antimicrobial Guard. A sticker on the laptop will help to identify the device is covered by Antimicrobial Guard Plus or Antimicrobial Guard due to different spec configuration.

8.Selected products are tested using enhanced military-grade MIL-STD-810H durability standards, with 12 test methods and 26 test procedures, to ensure extraordinary toughness. Based on ASUS internal market research using available information and testing reports from main laptop brand websites on Oct 28, 2022, ASUS consumer laptops use a regime consisting of 26 test procedures, which is the consumer laptop industry’s strictest and most extensive test regime for the MIL-STD-810H standard.
