ASUS subjects its notebooks through the worst and most extreme conditions to ensure you purchased nothing but the absolute best

ASUS subjects its notebooks through the worst and most extreme conditions to ensure you purchased nothing but the absolute best. Descended through hell and back, ASUS notebooks underwent a series of rigorous quality tests to deliver performance that lasts and stability you can trust.

Shock test
Simulates the bumps and shocks notebooks have to endure during shipment and portable operation ASUS notebooks have the capability to absorb shocks of various weights from different angles.

Drop test
ASUS notebooks must survive drops from various heights to prove their durability.

Vibration test
Think about how much vibration notebooks have to endure during shipment or traveling in your backpack. This test inspects notebooks™ resistance to vibration when power is on and off.

Hinge test
Open and close, open and close, open and close–ASUS notebooks go through this process over and over again for 20,000 times to make sure that the hinges are of the highest quality.

LCD pressure test
The LCD is 1/3 of the notebook cost, meaning you better select a product with a reliable display. LCDs on ASUS notebooks are pressure tested to give you peace of mind.

Humidity test
ASUS notebooks are placed in different conditions to test their tolerance to dryness and humidity.

Thermal shock and vibration test
Perform shock and vibration tests in environments with volatile temperatures and power voltage, since notebook components are usually less stable in mercurial conditions. Power Consumption and power line disturbance test Stringent tests are performed on power supplies and the notebook™s efficiency in power consumption, because the quality of power supplies often affects performance.

Key life test
The keys on ASUS notebooks are pressed over 1 million times to make sure they are built to last.

Walk in chamber test
To provide reliability and stability, ASUS invested in several walk-in chambers to perform temperature and humidity tests up to 30 days.

Sand and dust test
This test is applied to optical drives, connectors and heat fans to make sure nothing can stop them from working properly.

Static electricity test
ASUS notebooks have to withstand the punishment of a 15,000-volt stunt gun when system is on.

Tray in/out tests
Opening and closing the optical drive bay repeatedly to ensure it is tough enough to handle your daily computing operation.

Acoustics noise tests
How can you expect to work when your notebook makes all that noise? ASUS notebooks are tested for sound pressure, sound frequency and sound quality to offer minimal noise distraction.

Color measurement test
By testing the LCD™s color contrast, ASUS notebooks give you a colorful computing environment.

Certifications and services to prove it
The world™s only TCO™99-certified notebooks Personal computers, with complex digital and analog circuitries, are generators of EMI (electromagnetic interference), which affects the operation of other electronic devices and has also proven to be hazardous to the human body. Desktop systems can shield EMI they generate with thick metal material. However, notebooks, which put great emphasis on weight and size, cannot implement the same strategy. The TCO™99 certification has the strictest standards in EMI emission, ecology, ergonomics and energy (battery consumption), and ASUS notebooks are the world™s first and only portable computers that satisfy all four criteria and received this prestigious honor. ASUS further received ISO 9002, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 and ISO 9001 validations to prove the company™s leadership in quality management and environmental protection.
