Hinge test
Screen hinges are a potential weak spot on any notebook, so ASUS tests its designs by opening and closing its notebook lids at least 20,000 times to ensure their
robustness.
Shock test
Notebooks are likely to experience shocks during shipping and day-to-day use. So ASUS performs a variety of shock tests to ensure that each model can handle the rough and tumble of everyday life.
Pressure test
Notebook LCD screens are fragile and need to be protected by a sturdy lid. ASUS ensures that each display is well protected by subjecting its designs to high pressure tests.
Drop test
A dropped notebook shouldn’t mean a broken notebook and ASUS puts its models through a series of drop tests that measure how well they cope with life’s little accidents.
Vibration test
Shock is one common laptop stress—vibration is another. Vibration testing subjects notebooks to a range of vibration frequencies to ensure that both the outer construction and internal components are able to cope.
Twist test
Notebook lids opened with one hand can cause screens to flex. The twist test assesses how well notebooks cope with this type of handling by twisting the entire chassis to extreme degrees.
ExTREME TESTinG fOR TOP-qUALiTy nOTEBOOkSASUS notebooks are subjected to stringent tests that ensure each and every model is robust and reliable. Notebooks are placed under stresses not normally seen in everyday life to ensure they deliver unparalleled performance, even in the most extreme conditions.

ASUS n5 Series
2011 / SYSTEM PRODUCT GUIDE 11
The new N5 is a revolutionary product in more than just its stunning yet
simple aesthetic design, which award-winning master designer, David Lewis,
has contributed to. The N5 sound has been engineered in co-operation with
Bang & Olusen ICEPower® and packs 32mm diameter SonicMaster speakers
that deliver crystal clear audio at a considerable sonic punch. Combined
with the exclusive and patented ASUS SonicMaster Subwoofer, designed by
ASUS Sensitivity & Engineering lab, altogether these generate a mobile audio
experience that is second-to-none.
The external SonicMaster Subwoofer separates its powerful bass from the
acute mid and high tones generated by the N5 speakers, in effect creating
the first ever 2.1 native speaker setup for a notebook that brings the full depth
of surround sound to movies, music and games.
Still, ASUS has also recognized that notebooks embody a personal entertainment
experience, so the SonicMaster technology has been tailored to recognize and
adjust the audio experience specifically for headphones as well. Combined with
an 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processor, NVIDIA Optimus technology, a Full
HD LCD monitor with zero bright-dot guarantee, ASUS Video Magic and USB
3.0 technologies all added to the equation, the N5 is a sensational package to
every sense.
