ASUS Philippines Announces ASUS Premium Care (APC) Warranty Extension Package

Laptop computers have become a necessity due to its convenience for everyday users—be it for work or play. However, owning one takes a lot of investment, both financially and emotionally, and sudden and unexpected issues can not only disrupt work, but also bear undue stress because of the inconvenience of going through repairs and uncertain warranties.

With the constant aim of improving its user’s experiences, ASUS goes one step further to offer the excellent after-sales service to its end-users. Enter the ASUS Premium Care (APC) program, a warranty extension and service upgrade package available to end-users who have purchased their devices within the last 90 days.

For a cost of PHP 3,499.00, APC is a perfect tool for end-users to extend the longevity of their devices, allowing them to upgrade their existing device warranty from the standard two-year global warranty to a country’s first, industry-leading three-year GLOBAL warranty recognized in over 50 countries worldwide. Comparable three-year warranty packages from competing products only cover local warranty at a cost of up to PHP 6,300.00.

Select ASUS and Republic of Gamers (ROG) users also have the option to extend their two-year global warranty to a three-year warranty, or change their warranty to a two-year local on-site warranty (exclusive to users from Metro Manila, Metro Cebu, and Metro Davao only)

ELIGIBILITY AND APC PACKAGES

All ASUS laptops are eligible for the additional 1-year APC warranty extension package, with a few select models eligible for an optional change to the on-site warranty upgrade.

To avail of the APC package, end-users first need to check if their device is qualified and matches the product indicated in the APC package they want to avail. For on-site warranty eligibility, end-users should check if their area is covered by ASUS Authorized Service Providers (ASPs) via bit.ly/apc-onsitecoverage.

ASUS Republic Of Gamers introduces refreshed line with RTX-powered Strix II Gaming Laptops

Manila, Philippines -  ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) announces the arrival of the refreshed ROG Strix Gaming laptops to be powered by next-generation NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics, featuring real-time ray-tracing technology for more realistic gaming experiences and supreme performance.

Following ROG’s announcement of its full line-up of RTX-powered gaming products during CES 2019 in Las Vegas, ASUS ROG Philippines has revealed the pricing and availability of the first wave of gaming laptops to hit the market. Starting January 29, end-users who want to experience the next level of gaming technologies can get their hands on the ROG Strix SCAR and Hero GL504 and the ROG Strix SCAR GL704 powered by up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070.

“As the world’s number one gaming brand, we are proud to also be the first to enable end-users to experience the latest in gaming with the arrival of RTX-powered ROG laptops locally,” said George Su, ASUS Country Manager for Systems Business Group. “We believe that ROG is the ideal platform for the newest RTX GPUs, matching its innovative high performance with ROG’s class-leading features and technologies that truly make our gamers’ experiences overwhelming.”

ROG Strix SCAR

The ROG Strix SCAR II comes in 15.6” and 17.3” flavors available with the same 144Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time. Both versions are draped in a shooter-inspired motif that uses splashes of camouflage to create a unique aesthetic fit for the battlefield. Highlighted WASD keys further reinforce the SCAR’s roots and ensure that you can easily find the home row for FPS gaming.

Both versions of the ROG Strix SCAR come with options of either an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 with 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM, or an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM. All variants are equipped with an Intel Core i7-8750H processor, 16GB DDR4 2666MHz RAM, and 256GB NVMe PCIe SSD + 1TB SSHD for storage.

ROG Strix Hero

The ROG Strix Hero is optimized for MOBAs and ideal for gamers who want subtler styling. Its contrasting textures and cyber-text patterns are more restrained than the aggressive aesthetic of the SCAR II, making the Hero II more approachable for wider audiences.

Powered by the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 graphics, the ROG Strix Hero will enable higher frame rates in the latest MOBA Games, and guarantee that it will run whatever next-gen game you throw at it. Like with the SCAR, NVIDIA Optimus ensures that battery life and power will be conserved whenever the discrete GPU isn’t being used.

The ROG Strix Hero will be available at a later date.
