ASUS has taken the wraps off a pair of new slim ultrabooks in the form of the M415 and M515, both of which are bound for the United States and Canada in the coming weeks. The duo primarily differs by screen real estate as the ASUS M415 offers several 14-inch LED configurations, whereas the ASUS M515 is equipped with a more traditional 15..6-LED panel.

Both boast screen-to-body ratios just short of 85% and support for resolutions up to 1080p. While the default configurations will be sold with one of several available Windows 10 versions, ASUS also intends to do a limited release of Windows-less M415 and M515 models which will run one of today’s most bizarre Linux distros in wide circulation called Endless OS. Both notebooks will be offered with AMD Radeon Graphics GPUs in either the RX Vega 8 or the more higher-end RX Vega 10, though ASUS is also working on one entry-level variant without a dedicated graphics for each form factor.

The 14-inch M415 weighs approximately 1.5kg (3.3 Ibs) in total, which makes it one of the most portable workstations at this performance level money will soon be able to buy. Speaking of which, a concrete release date with specification options and detailed pricing structure are all expected to be publicized by ASUS before the end of the year.

Taiwanese computer company ASUS today added another model to its growing family of ExpertBook Windows laptops. The said product is called the ExpertBook P2451 and features a remarkably minuscule form factor given the caliber of its internals.

Namely, you are looking at a dual-storage notebook powered by the newest Intel Core i7 vPr, the very same processor found in e.g. $2,000+ Dell Latitudes, with the main difference between this processor and more traditional i7 models being the fact that this particular CPU has been specifically designed for surpassing expectations in extremely low-powered setups, i.e. scenarios in which it has absolutely no business being such a high-level workhorse that it is.

A 1TB SSD, 16GB of RAM, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, two Type-A USB 3.2 ports and another such USB-C connector with fast charging and rapid data transfer support, as well as the ability to relay video signal are all on board here. As is an RJ45 LAN jack, a 48Wh battery promising up to 13 hours of standalone operation on a single charge, a multi-microphone array for impeccable call quality, SonicMaster-certified audio, Kensington lock support, and a 14-inch FHD IPS display capable of shining at up to 250 nits.

Crazy, given the form factor, right? Now, let us present you with the kicker – the ASIS ExpertBook P2451 starts at $999 and will be available for orders in the U.S. by the end of the month.

While we rarely cover devices that aren’t likely to retail in the U.S., the power of anime compels us to let you know about the ASUS Sky Selection 2. Namely, this gaming laptop is now a thing, in all its unapologetically flashy glory.

Could this quirky design hide a serious gaming powerhouse?

In all seriousness, it doesn’t appear the anime connection goes any deeper than ASUS opting for an in-your-face marketing campaign. That bold approach is likely to pay off, given how the ASUS Sky Selection 2 wields plenty of stopping power on its own. Namely, the neon-blue finish makes it difficult for anyone who catches so much as a glimpse of it not to stop and take a genuine look at what this gaming-oriented notebook has to offer.

Do not let the eccentric design fool you, however – the ASUS Sky Selection 2 is a true gaming powerhouse. From its 15.6-inch FHD display and its 240Hz refresh rate, 64GB of 3,200Mhz DDR4 RAM and a 512GB PCIe SSD, to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 GPU and AMD Ryzen R7-5800H CPU, this thing is as futureproof as they come. The ASUS Sky Selection 2 is currently available for pre-orders in China at the equivalent of over $1,400. While we’re unlikely to ever see it hit stateside retail, every true hardware connoisseur can always resort to importing.

Over in Fremont, California, a delegation from Taipei-based ASUS just finished sweeping up this year’s Good Design Awards venue. The 2020 edition of the established technology industry ceremony saw ASUS pick up not one, not even 14, but 15 honors in total.

As far as the Taiwanese computer giant is concerned, this is its best GDA haul to date. A major chunk of the merits for this achievement goes to ASUS’s Republig of Gamers subbrand, more commonly referred to as ROG.

As the said gamer-dedicated unit accounted for a third of the new additions to the conglomerate’s trophy cabinet. That push was led by several new products from the ROG Zephyrus series of electronics poetically named afer the ancient Greek god of west wind.

Other than that, ASUS managed to win recognitions with three ZenBook lineups of notebook spanning five models in total, its flagship ProArt StudioBook One and the functionally related ExpertBook B9450.

The company’s product design expertise was also svknowledged in the mobile segment with honors to its newly released ZenFone 7 family of Android-powered flagships fueled by Qualcomm’s best-ever chipset in the Snapdragon 865 Plus 5G.

All of these newly acclaimed products will be available for purchase in the U.S. by early November, with some already hitting stateside retail channels in the last several days.
