ASUS revamps consumer notebook portfolio

It’s all about giving consumers options for ASUS. That said, if the new Transformer Book T100 isn’t your cup of tea, then one of these new notebook PCs will surely fit your computing need, not to mention your budget.

First on the list is the new ASUS X550LC – a sub-40K notebook PC equipped with Intel Core i5-4200U dual-core processor and NVidia GT720M graphics card. It’s got a 15.6-inch HD screen and SonicMaster speakers housed inside a sleek form factor with “Spun Finish” design.

If you feel you need a little more power under the hood, you can also opt for the X550LB which comes with an Intel i7-4500U, 8GB of RAM and NVidia GT740M GPU with 2GB VRAM.

Now if a touchscreen display is a must have feature you, then there’s also the new 15-inch Vivobooks namely the F550CC and S551. Of the two, the F550CC has the more modest setup which includes 500GB HDD, 3rd Gen Intel Core processor, 4GB RAM and an NVidia GT720M graphics card. It can be had for Php37,995 and will come pre-installed with Windows 8.

The S551, on the other hand, is running on Core i7-4500U process with 4GB of RAM, GT740M GPU and features a hybrid storage setup (750GB + 24GB SSD). Mind you though that the Vivobook S551 costs Php12K more than ASUS is charging for the F550CC, so that’s something you also have to take in to consideration.

Rounding up our list is the multimedia-centric ASUS N550JV. Apart from a pretty respectable engine setup, this bad boy is also equipped with a 15.6-inch 1080p IPS display and Bang & Olufsen speakers. And to top it all off, ASUS will also throw in a SonicMaster Subwoofer along with the system.

All of these new ASUS notebook PCs are now available on all major tech hubs in the country.
