ASUS has made trusted and well-known computers and parts, including motherboards, graphics cards, monitors and desktops, for a long time. Now, they are also gaining ground in the field of laptops, due in large part to innovative design features.

The ScreenPad available on certain models adds the functions of a high-resolution touch screen to your laptop’s touchpad, giving you a useful secondary interactive display for easy navigation. ASUS’ flip 2-in-1 laptops allow you to use them like you would a tablet. And the ASUS Zenbook Pro offers options like a secondary 12.7” touchscreen display or an AAS Ultra mechanism that lets you raise the keyboard for more ergonomic use.

Best of all, ASUS laptop computers offer useful features at all price points. From top-performing ASUS gaming laptops to the popular mid-range ASUS Vivobook models to budget-friendly ASUS Chromebooks, there’s something to like in all ASUS laptop designs.

A great way to narrow down what you want in a laptop is to consider the needs of the software you use. Look up the hardware recommendations for your most useful and frequently used programs or games.

In terms of ASUS laptop families, the Zenbook series targets the needs of photographers, video editors and professionals in visual design fields. The Vivobook family of laptops provides excellent performance for work or play. It’s also popular as a laptop choice for college students. The Chromebook gives students or buyers with more basic usage patterns a great affordable option. And, of course, ASUS gaming laptops include high-performance graphics hardware and fast processing speeds.

When bringing home a new laptop, you should make sure you have a few things in place to help you take care of your new device. Always make sure you protect your new laptop by carrying it in a laptop bag. If you’re clumsy, you might even want a hard laptop case. Andy you will also want to protect your laptop from malware with antivirus security software.
