Latest ASUSPRO models bring enhanced productivity, security and manageability to SMB, education and enterprise customers


ASUS today announced exciting new additions to its commercial ASUSPRO PC range, with the launch of the ET1620 all-in-one PC, EeeBox EB1036 and EB1037 space-saving desktop PCs, and the ultra-small form factor (USFF) BT1AD and BT1AE desktop PCs. All models feature the very latest Intel® processors for optimum performance and power efficiency. Designed for small-to-medium businesses, public sector and enterprise customers, these new ASUSPRO PCs offer enhanced productivity, space-saving design, and advanced management and security features — including the new and exclusive ASUS Business Manager — tailored to enhance productivity with minimal impact on operating and maintenance costs.

ASUSPRO for advanced management and security

All the new ASUSPRO models include special hardware and software features designed to make them secure yet easy to manage.

ASUS Business Manager is a set of software tools that simplifies routine maintenance and optimization tasks such as software and system updates, physical and password security, backup and recovery, plus power management configuration.

Configuration and monitoring of system management features such as hard disk password protection, I/O port locking and asset tagging is made easier with the intuitive mouse-controlled UEFI BIOS.

ASUS commercial desktops and all-in-one PCs also feature a Kensington Lock slot that provides added physical anti-theft protection in sensitive or public-facing environments.

An additional security option for ASUSPRO desktop models is a Trusted Platform Model (TPM) chip, which ensures that sensitive information like keys, passwords, and digital certificates remain safe from external attacks, physical theft, and other types of intrusion.

ET1620 — the flexible and secure all-in-one for your business

Designed to meet the needs of applications such as point-of-sale (POS), self-service machines, educational or digital signage, the ET1620 is an all-in-one PC with a 15.6-inch capacitive 10-point multi-touch display. It is powered by a next-generation Intel Celeron® quad-core processor that is significantly faster than previous generations for smooth multitasking performance. With its multiple I/O ports — including two serial ports, two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports — ET1620 is the perfect partner for a wide range of business uses, allowing the attachment of a wide range of business peripherals such as barcode scanners, credit card terminals, printers or document scanners. Its dual video outputs (HDMI and VGA) allow ET1620 to be connected to any external monitor or large-screen TV if necessary. Additionally, an optional NFC (Near Field Communication) module can be installed for even more flexibility, allowing customers to develop their own applications based around ET1620, such as retail POS solutions.

ET1620’s slim and stylish space-saving design, with an attractively slim 1.3cm bezel, make it ideal for public-facing use or where space is at a premium, and its light 2kg weight mean it’s easily transportable. ET1620 can even be wall-mounted, thanks to its VESA-mount-compatible design, making it an excellent choice for digital signage, information point or kiosk applications.
