Extreme Testing for Top-quality Notebooks ASUS notebooks are subjected to stringent tests that ensure each and every model is robust and reliable. Notebooks are placed under stresses not normally seen in everyday life to ensure they deliver unparalleled performance, even in the most extreme conditions.

Twist test

Vibration test

Drop test

Shock test

Hinge test

Pressure test

Notebook lids opened with one hand can cause screens to flex.

The twist test assesses how well notebooks cope with this type of handling by twisting the entire chassis to extreme degrees.

Shock is one common laptop stress—vibration is another. Vibration testing subjects notebooks to a range of vibration frequencies to ensure that both the outer construction and internal components are able to cope.

A dropped notebook shouldn’t mean a broken notebook and ASUS puts its models through a series of drop tests that measure how well they cope with life’s little accidents.

Notebooks are likely to experience shocks during shipping and day-to-day use.

So ASUS performs a variety of shock tests to ensure that each model can handle the rough and tumble of everyday life.

Screen hinges are a potential weak spot on any notebook, so ASUS tests its designs by opening and closing its notebook lids at least 20,000 times to ensure their robustness.

Notebook LCD screens are fragile and need to be protected by a sturdy lid.

ASUS ensures that each display is well protected by subjecting its designs to high pressure tests.

Clear and Fluid Video Recording

Quick Charge. Even When Powered Off

Instant On

Nvidia Optimus Technology

The integrated HD camera is designed to provide crisp, clear and fluid video recording for video calls and conferencing or home movie creation, even in low-light situations.

ASUS N5 notebook is fitted with two USB 3.0 ports for Super-speed performance that’s 10x faster than existing USB 2.0. One of those ports features exclusive Quick Charge technology, which can charge your peripherals like cell phones, even when the notebook is turned off.

Have your PC always boot in just seconds for up to 20 days on standby, while never risking the loss of your data. The N5’s Instant On technology backs up the data securely to disk, but keeps it ever read-to-go in memory so you never have to wait again.

Never make the choice between great performance and great battery life again. NVIDIA® Optimus™ technology intelligently optimizes your notebook PC, providing the outstanding graphics performance you need, when you need it, all the while extending battery life for longer enjoyment.

Incredible Sound The new N5 is a revolutionary product in more than just its stunning yet simple aesthetic design, which award-winning master designer, David Lewis, has contributed to. The N5 sound has been engineered in co-operation with Bang & Olusen ICEPower® and packs 32mm diameter SonicMaster speakers that deliver crystal clear audio at a considerable sonic punch. Combined with the exclusive and patented ASUS SonicMaster Subwoofer, designed by ASUS Sensitivity & Engineering lab, altogether these generate a mobile audio experience that is second-to-none.

The external SonicMaster Subwoofer separates its powerful bass from the acute mid and high tones generated by the N5 speakers, in effect creating the first ever 2.1 native speaker setup for a notebook that brings the full depth of surround sound to movies, music and games.

Still, ASUS has also recognized that notebooks embody a personal entertainment experience, so the SonicMaster technology has been tailored to recognize and adjust the audio experience specifically for headphones as well. Combined with an 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processor, Nvidia Optimus technology, a Full HD LCD monitor with zero bright-dot guarantee, ASUS Video Magic and USB 3.0 technologies all added to the equation, the N5 is a sensational package to every sense.
