Knowing that sound holds a vital place in daily computing enjoyment, ASUS audio engineers have developed SonicMaster Premium together with the expertise of Bang &amp; Olufsen ICEpower\u00ae, employing optimised audio hardware and bundling a dedicated external subwoofer to provide unmatched notebook PC audio enjoyment, including deeper bass. SonicMaster Premium also applies professional-grade Waves MaxxAudio 3 tools, which deliver meticulously tuned sound with extensive personalisation options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wider and more vivid views <\/strong><br \/>\nAll new N Series notebooks feature advanced wide-view panels that provide 150\u00b0 horizontal by 120\u00b0 vertical angles.
