Introducing the ASUS K Series \u2013 for Timeless, Trustworthy Computing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Notebooks Designed to Provide Multimedia Performance and Computing Versatility<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sydney, Australia, 7 September, 2009 – <\/strong>Designed to provide a trustworthy computing experience to users while on the move, the ASUS K Series notebooks boast the multimedia muscle to provide cinematic audio and visual enjoyment through a high quality LED backlit panel, SRS\u00ae Premium Sound\u2122 and Altec Lansing speakers. Users can also enjoy longer computing or entertainment hours with the ASUS Super Hybrid Engine for unplugged freedom, while a clever ASUS IceCool design ensures the temperature at the palm rest area is kept to a minimum, even after long computing hours.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

High Definition Multimedia Entertainment On-the-go<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ASUS K Series sports Altec Lansing\u00ae speakers with SRS\u00ae Premium Sound\u2122 for high definition audio reproduction, as well as a backlit LED panel of up to 17.3\u201d with a 16:9 golden aspect ratio, low power consumption, high contrast rate and high colour saturation.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The K50IN is equipped with the NVIDIA\u00ae GeForce\u00ae G102M, which <\/strong>uses 512MB of dedicated graphics memory to accelerate 1080p high definition video playback, photo and video editing, video transcoding and casual gaming. The GeForce\u00ae G102M uses 30 per cent, or 8 watts, less power when running graphically extensive applications compared to other dedicated notebook graphics processors, resulting in longer battery life per charge. Additionally, ASUS will be the first to launch the AMD\/ATI 4 Series, which can be found in the K50AB (ATI Mobility Radeon\u2122 HD4570).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Enjoy Hours of Entertainment with Extended Battery Life<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ASUS K Series is equipped with the ASUS <\/strong>Super Hybrid Engine (SHE), which features the Power4 Gear Hybrid application for efficient energy conservation. Power4 Gear Hybrid facilitates the deployment and usage of power according to the users\u2019 preferences in relation to the specific tasks that they need to perform. By intelligently optimising both system performance and power efficiency, users can enjoy extended computing hours while out and about without plugging in.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Comfortable Computing Experience with ASUS IceCool Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

Designed to provide users with a comfortable mobile computing experience, the ASUS K Series features the IceCool design. Cleverly designed and positioned vents keep the palm rest cooler than the average human body temperature by 25 per cent, delivering effective heat dissipation even after long hours of use.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The ASUS K Series notebooks are available at major retailers and computer resellers.<\/p>\n
