PASIG CITY, Philippines, (April 15, 2020) – In a bold, industry-leading move, ASUS Philippines is the first brand to officially launch the much-awaited AMD Ryzen™ 4000 Series Mobile Processors, powering up the brand’s latest line-up of Consumer and Gaming laptops.

Built on the “Zen 2” architecture with industry-leading 7nm process technology, ASUS and AMD join forces anew to redefine the limits of power and portability. From lifestyle to gaming notebooks, these new products are designed to deliver exceptional productivity and gaming experiences.

These new AMD-powered ASUS laptops are set to make their debut in local shores within a few weeks, by May 2020.

ROG ZEPHYRUS G LINE-UP

Headlining the release of the AMD Ryzen™ 4000 Series of Processors is the brand-new ROG Zephyrus G14 and the upgraded ROG Zephyrus G15. The ASUS ROG AMD 4000 HS series CPUs bring the power of 8-Core computing into the thin and light Zephyrus legacy, for ultra-portable gaming. Together with up to NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 2060, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage, these gaming notebooks redefine the limits between power and portability.

The ROG Zephyrus G14, at 17.9mm thinness and 1.6kg weight, comes with a sleek 14” narrow-bezel IPS-level display that provides a 120Hz refresh rate with 100% sRGB panel color coverage capability, Pantone ® Validation, and Adaptive Sync Technology, providing quality visuals for gamers and content creators alike.

Dressed in a smooth Moonlight Silver or Eclipse Gray color with a minimalist ROG logo plaque at the bottom-left, the Zephyrus G14 offers a clean and classy professional look. Whether through a gaming LAN party session with friends or attending a boardroom meeting, the Zephyrus G14 is an aesthetic marvel designed for the work hard, play hard go-getter.

The ROG Zephyrus G14 also comes with an optional AniMe Matrix™ LED. This groundbreaking innovation offers users to display custom graphics and other animation through 1,215 mini-LEDs embedded in the lid of the laptop. Whether pre-designed display functions such as notifications, battery life, or importing the users’ customized animations, the AniMe LED display offers a new medium to show creativity and personalization.

ROG Zephyrus G15 GA502, at 19.9mm thinness and 2.1kg weight, also comes in new and improved while continuing its crowd-favorite 240Hz refresh rate. With 3ms response time, Adaptive Sync Technology and Pantone ® Validated colors all fitted in its 15” narrow-bezel IPS display, the ROG Zephyrus G15 delivers the best immersive gaming experience. It still sports the classic metallic brush finish that all gamers have come to love.

ASUS VIVOBOOK S14 (M433)

Being bold means putting one’s self out there, and for this season’s most practical buy on a consumer laptop, then the sleek VivoBook S14 (M433) should easily stand out, thanks to its textured metal chassis with diamond-cut edges, unique colors, and color-blocking Enter key. On top of its premium design, much has to be said also about the VivoBook S14’s power.

Thanks to the latest AMD Ryzen™ 7 4700U Mobile Processor, which features with up to 8 ultra-fast cores and the most advanced processor technology, users can get to experience the performance they need to get through the entire day, whether they are a content creator, or simply looking for an everyday laptop for work, school, or play. Further, a large capacity PCIe® SSD provides superfast storage so that it can access the necessities quickly, allowing the users to conquer all tasks with ease!

ASUS Philippines Prepares the Younger Generation for the Real World

NUEVA ECIJA, PHILIPPINES- Together with its key partners in ASUS Foundation, Fil-Chi Love and Care Foundation, and the Taiwan Digital Opportunity Center, ASUS Philippines recently marked yet another milestone in the brand’s commitment of bolstering its CSR campaign. This time, the search for the ‘incredible’ brought the ASUS Philippines team all the way to Nueva Ecija and Nueva Vizcaya, armed with a total of 80 ASUS laptops to be turned over to two schools. 

“ASUS Philippines and our partners have never wavered in our commitment in championing education, computer literacy and skills advancement. But beyond providing the PCs these students and faculty will use to upgrade their teaching and learning processes, we also look towards the positive impact this will ultimately have within their entire community. That’s why for us, this is by no means a one-off activity… rather, it’s for sustainable development,” shares Francis Garcia, ASUS Philippines Consumer PC Product Marketing Manager and CSR Head.

ASUS Philippines’ Ron Mariano (Leftmost), Product Marketer for Commercial PC, and Francis Garcia (Rightmost), Product Marketing Manager for Consumer PC, award the Certificate of Donation to Dr. Cecile Ocsan, Vocational School Administrator I of Sto. Domingo National Trade School.

Sto. Domingo National Trade School (SDNTS) in Sto. Domingo, Nueva Ecija is the province’s first and only vocational trade school. The academic institution currently caters to almost 2,000 students from Grade 7 to 12 enrolled in various vocational courses, with an overall student population of 3,350. With this sprawling headcount, also comes the need to modernize and upgrade the quality of education to ensure that all students are developed to their fullest potentials.

Speaking about the lack of innovative tools for educational advancement Dr. Cecile Ocsan, SDNTS Vocational School Administrator I shares, “In this digital transformation era, computer illiteracy is one of the biggest problems we must address. That is why these 50 ASUS laptops will definitely not only make our students keep up with the latest technology, but this will also make them more competitive.  Our teachers and students will be motivated to challenge themselves to commit more for excellence, now that we have these ASUS Laptops on our side to better prepare our students for the real world.”

These 50 ASUS laptops will be primarily for the benefit of SDNTS’ grade 7 to 10 students who are currently taking up Internet and Computing Fundamentals (ICF), and Computer Science Studies (CSS).

The second beneficiary of ASUS Philippines’ recent CSR campign in Central Luzon is the Lamo Elementary School in Nueva Vizcaya – a humble school along Dupax Del Norte with an overall population of almost 200 students from kinder to grade 6. Though relatively smaller in size and in number, the school also gets much support from its alumni and other partners who are quite active in pushing for the school’s development.

In an interview with Ms. Dalita Galanta, Head Teacher III of Lamo Elementary School, she shares, “While these students are eager to learn, there are certain limitations that hindered them to comprehend the advancement of technology. Financially, it has also always been a challenge for them to have their own computers for their learning process. But now, these students will be able to both experience and maximize the use of technology with these ASUS laptops. We are more confident that Lamo Elementary School will be able to produce globally-competitive students!”

Students from Lamo Elementary School tries their newly installed laptops for the first time.

“One of the end goals of ASUS Philippines’ CSR activities is to lessen the digital divide, by supporting schools that have scarce resources. By providing these laptops, we are empowering students while improving their learning process, which we believe will impact their social and economic growth,” closes Francis Garcia.
