ASUS has just introduced the X409 and X509 mainstream laptops, featuring a compact size and weight, thin NanoEdge bezels, a one-touch fingerprint sensor, and optional 512GB SSD storage.
With powerful configurations, the ASUS X409 and X509 mainstream laptops will be your reliable companions for daily tasks. With options of up to 8th Gen Intel Core i7 processors combined with NVIDIA GEFORCE MX230 graphics cards, dual storage options combining a large traditional HDD and a high-speed PCIE SSD for ultra-fast speeds.
A modern laptop not only needs to be powerful but also needs to be compact and lightweight to meet the demands of mobility. Understanding this, ASUS has equipped the X409 and X509 laptops with thin NanoEdge bezels, measuring 7.7mm, to minimize the overall size and weight of the machines. Both the X409 and X509 models weigh 1.65kg and 1.8kg respectively, featuring Full HD displays with anti-glare coatings, wide 178-degree viewing angles, and an 83% screen-to-body ratio for an impressive visual experience for work, study, or daily entertainment.
The ASUS X409/ X509 features a sturdy chassis reinforced by metal strips. The keyboard frame is reinforced with metal and directly attached to the chassis, making the overall machine more solid, avoiding flex when typing, and providing better protection for internal components. The screen panel is reinforced by 2 metal clips similar to those on a car frame, protecting against shocks, contributing to a more sturdy reinforcement for the hinge area - the part that bears the most impact on a laptop.
In addition to the option of high-speed PCIE SSD storage, HDD versions are also equipped with a 3D shock protection system, minimizing the risk of data loss due to external physical impacts.
The X409 and X509 are equipped with a one-touch fingerprint sensor that supports Windows Hello, making Windows login easy, quick, and secure. The keyboards on both models have a 1.4mm key travel combined with a metal keyboard frame to provide a good user experience.
Using high-speed WIFI 5 and Bluetooth 4.2, combined with a variety of current computer ports such as USB 3.1 Type C, USB 3.1 Type A, standard HDMI port, and MicroSD card reader slot, the X409 and X509 are ready for any connection you require.
Finally, equipped with a high-quality battery with a lifespan three times longer than usual, accompanied by fast charging technology that charges 60% of the battery capacity in just 49 minutes, and integrated ASUS Battery Health Charging technology that optimally adjusts the charging current, the ASUS X409 and X509 duo will always ensure that the battery is in the best condition ready to serve.
The product is ready to hit the shelves in 2 color versions: silver & dark gray for X409, and a dark gray option for the X509. These will be among the models promising to attract young consumers in the back-to-school season 2019.
