Success Story

    Quality Tested at 5,200 Metres

    ASUSPRO Series Notebooks Perform Flawlessly at Mount Everest



    As part of the company’s environmental initiatives, ASUS has been driving a campaign in China for the last four years where volunteers are sent to clean up regions at the base of Mount Everest. In doing their part to preserve the natural environment, these volunteers are accompanied by a wide range of ASUS notebooks. Braving extreme temperatures ranging from 15 to 35 degrees Celsius below zero and repeated jolts from trekking this harsh environment at altitudes near 6,000 metres, ASUS notebooks have demonstrated the highest levels of quality and reliability that users can rely on.

    In particular, ASUSPRO Series commercial notebooks are engineered to the highest standards of quality and reliability. Critical information is protected by ASUS ShockShield which uses motion sensors and anti-shock cushions to protect the hard drive, ensuring data stays safe and secure. The keyboard is also designed to repel spills up to 120cc of liquid. Compared to consumer notebooks, the ASUSPRO Series is drop tested to more than double the drop height; the LCD panel is tested to 20 percent greater pressure and the screen hinge is made to undergo 10,000 more test cycles. By international standards, it is also 50 percent more resistant to electromagnetic interference, resulting in an all-round robust and high performing notebook. In addition, users will also appreciate the Boston-Power Sonata long life battery which boasts three times the life cycle of conventional lithium - ion batteries, complemented by the ASUS Xpress charge technology which can charge the battery to 90 percent capacity in just 90 minutes.
