Mumbai, ASUS today showcased a wide spectrum of products and technological advances that embody the companys Inspiring Innovation - Persistent Perfection ethos at CeBIT. Designed on the belief that information technology exists to enhance peoples lives, these innovations bolster, reinvent, or revolutionize the user experience in Green, gaming, multimedia and cloud computing contexts.
Green from the Inside Out
At this years CeBIT, ASUS has set aside a special Green Design Product zone to showcase the wide-ranging innovations that empower consumers keen on going Green. The Green innovations employed in the design, development and manufacturing of ASUS notebooks, Eee PC™ netbooks, EeeBox PCs, LED monitors and motherboards have garnered the company numerous eco-label certifications. ASUS, for example is the first notebook manufacturer to receive the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), Carbon Footprint and EU Flower certifications. The foremost of these Green innovations include ASUS exclusive Super Hybrid Engine notebook and netbook power management technology that lowers energy consumption well under Energy Star V5.0 requirements, and the Energy Processing Unit (EPU) installed on ASUS motherboards that automatically monitors and adjusts the systems power requirements to ensure maximum efficiency.
ASUS Green advances also extend to material use-illustrated perfectly by the introduction of the U Series Bamboo Collection. U Series Bamboo notebooks take advantage of bamboos regenerative and resilient characteristics, reducing plastics usage by 20 percent while lending them an elegant, organic feel.
The Choice of Every Gamer
From hardcore fans of the latest bleeding edge FPS and RPG games, to avid MMO gamers, to casual players of web-based games, ASUS recognizes that there are many different types of gamers-each with distinct needs. ASUS seeks to fulfill these specific needs through its diverse array of products, with the Republic of Gamers (ROG) lineup at the hardcore end of the spectrum, and the Eee PC™ at the casual end. ROGs claim to fame is its unchallenged dominance in the areas of power, overclockability, and tweakability-rendering its multi-GPU ready motherboards, graphics cards and notebooks the choice of gaming and overclocking champions across the globe.
At CeBIT 2010, ASUS unveiled some of ROGs most powerful offerings to date, led by the dual Radeon HD5870-sporting ARES, the fastest graphics card in the world, followed by the stealth fighter-inspired G73 notebook which boasts cutting edge specifications and design, and the G51JX 3D, the worlds first notebook to integrate NVIDIA® GeForce® 3D Vision™ for lifelike 3D gaming on the go. ASUS also lifted the curtain on the ASUS VG236H and PG276H, Full HD 3D displays that are set to blow gamers away with eye-popping visuals with sights previously exclusive to the cineplex.
Hearing is believing: ASUS Establishes a New Standard for Notebook Audio
Audio has always been an area of compromise with notebooks because of the sheer difficulty involved in improving their sonic capabilities. Sparing no expense, ASUS is the first notebook manufacturer to tackle this gap head on, and the result is ASUS SonicMaster. SonicMaster-the result of co-development by ASUS and Bang & Olufsen ICEpower-completely redraws notebook audio. It debuts on the new ASUS N Series models (N43, N63 and N73), providing striking audio for people interested in affordable, unflinching quality. Top-line NX Series notebooks feature upgraded SonicMaster capabilities, replacing existing home entertainment hubs.
