In creating the B50A, ASUS has taken every consideration of the
business executive’s varied computing needs for power, reliability
and mobility. The result is the ultimate notebook computer for the
business environment, packed with speed, intelligent features, and
versatility, the ultimate competitive advantage for the business
executive. In addition to the unique technologies and software
features, the B50A offers the latest Express Gate that empowers
users with 8 second boot-up* for access to a host of multimedia and
online applications!
Built for Mobile Efficiency
It is not merely a question of power – of which the B50A has
plenty – but also one of usefulness. In this regard, business
executives who find themselves working away from their desks
will appreciate the reliability of the B50A. Based on the latest
Intel Centrino®2 Processor Technology platform and ASUS
exclusive Power4 Gear eXtreme power management, the B50A has an
extended battery life in excess of 5 hours*. Moreover, the B50A
also features a spill-resistant keyboard, so the notebook is
protected from accidental liquid spills of up to 120cc of
liquid. Productivity is guaranteed with the built-in keyboard
LED light that allows computing in dimmed meeting rooms.
Express Gate for 8 seconds* Boot-Up and Instant Online
This additional built-in operating system takes users to a host
of most commonly used features instantly, including web browser,
instant messenger, Skype, photo manager, music player and online
gaming. With this truly convenient, instant access to the Internet,
users can now send a last-minute email before rushing off to work,
browse the Web in between appointments and reach friends and family
via instant messenger all in the blink of an eye. In addition,
Express Gate has also effectively created two computers in one that
it is now easier to share the computer. When under the Express Gate
environment, Internet, music and photos can be shared without
disturbing the files and setup in the Windows operating system
reserved for personal use.
Power with Seamless Security
Information is the lifeblood of commerce and the importance
of reliable security for a business executive cannot be
overstated. Yet while keeping prying eyes out, a good, robust
security system should also be seamless to operate for the
authorized, intended user. Offering all the above benefits, the
B50A is integrated with a biometric fingerprint scanner that
offers greater security by reading fingerprints from the
underlying live layer of skin tissue and TPM (Trusted Platform
Module) for secure login and encryption. Together, these ensure
that data and transactions through B50A are secure, yet remain
efficient and easy to use.
Docking Station for Efficient Connectivity
The detachable docking station is an ideal solution for quick
connection of peripherals, power and communication devices.
Whether at home or in the office, it offers advanced
practicality and time saved when leaving and returning to the
desk.
Extensive Connectivity
The built-in WLAN 802.11 a/g/n ensures wireless Internet access
whenever reception is available. The B50 also provides Bluetooth 2.1
EDR – an enhanced data rate that transmits three times faster than
the standard Bluetooth, for increased connectivity and
synchronization between digital devices. In addition, a complete
range of input / output ports that includes 4 USB ports, 1 x HDMI ,
1 x E-SATA port, 1 x Docking Connector (hot swappable) and express
card slots will provide you with dynamic data transfer and storage
options.
