Asus Notebooks

Find your next laptop from the wide selection of ASUS® notebooks available at Staples®. Asus mobile PCs come in different sizes and with varying sets of features. The brand builds powerful laptops with sleek designs and impressive build quality. It offers some of them in select product lines targeted at specific types of PC users.

Choose the Right Asus Notebooks for Your Computing Needs
In addition to general-purpose laptops for everyday use, Asus also makes machines optimized for certain tasks. For example, its ROG line only includes gaming laptops. These notebooks pack fast processors, lots of RAM, high-resolution displays, and dedicated graphics cards. While Asus ROG PCs are bulky laptops with widescreen displays, its ZenBook series includes ultrabooks that demonstrate the brand's dedication to design details. This product line includes a number of ultralight laptops with screen sizes between 12 and 13.3 inches. They are sleek, thin, and pack impressive hardware considering their slim profiles.

While most Asus laptops are Windows® PCs, a few of them run Chrome OS™. A Chromebook™, a laptop running Chrome OS, requires less powerful hardware than a Windows laptop. It runs web apps and has an operating system that requires less maintenance. These features make it an ideal alternative for those who mostly use their notebooks for tasks like word processing and web browsing.

Features to Look for When Comparing Asus Notebooks
Besides operating system, other key features to consider when shopping for laptops include overall design and display size. In addition regular laptops, Asus also makes 2-in-1 notebooks. This category defines a number of hybrid laptops that can transform into tablets. A 2-in-1 laptop may have a 360-degree hinge that folds the screen backward or a detachable display that houses all of the computer's essential hardware.

Choose a laptop with a 10 to 12-inch display if you want a lightweight PC you can easily carry around. Laptops with screen sizes between 13 and 14 inches are more powerful and still portable. Their wider screens and full-size keyboards are often more comfortable to use. Bigger laptops can serve as desktop replacements, entertainment PCs, and gaming notebooks.

What Processors Do Asus Notebooks Use?
Most Asus laptops use Intel® processors but you can find some with AMD® chips. Entry-level models pack Intel Celeron™, Atom™, and Pentium® processors while more powerful models have Intel Core™ processors. The brand's gaming laptops mostly use NVIDIA® GeForce® graphics cards.

Do Asus Notebooks Have HD Displays?
Yes. While you can make do with a 720p screen on a 10 or 11-inch laptop, look for a full HD display if you are shopping for an Asus notebook with a display measuring 12 inches and above. The brand offers higher resolutions on select models. If you do graphic design or need a gaming machine with a pixel-dense display, consider laptops with QHD+ and 4K displays.

Are There Asus Notebooks With SSDs?
Yes. The brand offers SSDs as storage options for its ultrabooks and high-performance laptops. A solid state drive is a more robust storage solution than a hard disk drive. It has no moving parts and is less likely to crash when dropped. SSDs are also faster and more power-efficient than HDDs.
