Asus have just launched two new laptops on to the UK market the ASUS 15.6-inch N53JN and the ASUS 17.3-inch N73JN. That According to ASUS are the first ever range of laptops designed and created to address the problem of sub-standard audio on portable PCs.
The 15.6” N53JN and and the 17.3” N73JN feature Intel Core processors, NVIDIA GeForce graphics with Optimus technology and SonicMaster audio.
Working with its own ‘Golden Ear’ team and the acclaimed Bang & Olufsen ICEpower innovations house, ASUS focused on ways to develop natural sound that wasn’t compromised by the constraints posed by laptop computers, but instead capitalised upon them. The result represents a new standard in laptop audio – ASUS SonicMaster
Developed with Bang & Olufsen ICEpower, ASUS SonicMaster guarantees superlative laptop sound, thanks to a number of portable audio innovations, including large speaker chambers and powerful amplifiers.
To celebrate the new laptops’ launch, ASUS is running a series of competitions to win concert tickets and vouchers for high street music stores, check out Twitter for more info.
