ASUS ANTIBACTERIAL GUARD
                  99% bacterial inhibition. Your health safeguarded.The surface of any laptop harbors thousands of potentially harmful bacteria. To keep your laptop hygienic, it’s protected by ASUS Antibacterial Guard — a special surface treatment that keeps the bugs at bay. In fact, Antibacterial Guard has been scientifically proven11 to inhibit the growth of bacteria12 by more than 99% over a 24-hour period, ensuring the surfaces5 of your laptop clean and sanitary for longer and reducing the spread of potentially harmful bacteria via contact.

Without ASUS Antibacterial Guard a sample of 10,000 bacterial cells grew to 28,000. Performing the same test with Antibacterial Guard saw the count reduced to just 16 — a growth restriction of more than 99%. Our test adheres to ISO 2219612, and involves both E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

All bacteria can be classified by Gram staining into Gram positive or Gram negative, named after bacteriologist Hans Christian Gram. The ISO 2219612 test defines Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli respectively as Gram positive and Gram negative. Many industries choose these two bacteria as test targets — and it is these that are tested against ASUS Antibacterial Guard.

The ASUS Antibacterial Guard treatment consists of positively-charged silver ions and is durable enough for at least three years of normal usage13. Household cleaning products and agents such as alcohol wipes and soap water won’t easily wear away the silver-ion surface treatment, ensuring ASUS Antibacterial Guard’s long-lasting bacterial-inhibiting effect.

Silver ions will pierce through the surfaces of bacterial cells and damage their structure, inhibiting bacterial reproduction.

Furthermore, ASUS 3D Noise Reduction (3DNR) Technology and the new webcam effects in MyASUS take your video-calling experience to the next level. 3DNR significantly upgrades the webcam image clarity, with a unique algorithm that sharpens images and performs real-time de-noising to make sure everything looks crisp and clear during video calls.

NOISE CANCELATION + 3 MIC
                  Next-level ASUS AI Noise-Canceling TechnologyWith the increase in remote working and video conferences, we’ve strengthen the ASUS AI Noise-Canceling Technology with built-in 3-array microphones to further enhance 360° sound reception. The AI noise canceling technology employs machine learning thereby isolating unwanted noise from human speech.
Through using the MyASUS app, users can switch between the Microphone Single-Presenter mode, which can filter out ambient noise, to the Multi-Presenter mode which pick up all individual voices from different positions for optimum group conference-call quality. In addition, the AI Noise-Canceling Speaker feature filters out all ambient noise apart from human speech — so you’ll hear what everyone else is saying. Try the demo to experience the amazing difference that AI Noise-Canceling Technology can make in different environments.
