Ultraportable, subtle, stylish

Starting from 1.96kg, the ASUSPRO PU500CA uses a one-piece build, creating a subtle and completely consistent look. The design extends to the underside and removes unneeded clutter with a stylish dark brushed-hairline finish.

47% bigger multi-gesture touchpad

Easier to use and more precise input with scroll, rotate, and zoom

The touchpad has been enlarged to 107mm x 61mm, matching the screen ratio for an attractive look. It measures 47% bigger than touchpads on similar notebooks from other brands, and supports responsive and accurate multi-touch control. With more gestures detected, it effectively replaces the mouse, offering an intuitive input option. Multi-touch input allows effortless accuracy without a mouse, including two finger web page scroll, image zoom/rotate, and three finger tapping to mimic a right-click. Workflow is streamlined with gesture control, especially multi-step tasks such as presentations and research projects.

True-comfort keyboard and full numeric keypad increase productivity

Business places great importance on keyboards, as they are vital for professional communications. ASUS engineers have fine-tuned the PU500CA’s keyboard, providing better click ratios and 2.3mm travel distance to maintain comfort during long hours of work. The keyboard also provides a full numeric cluster with page up/page down keys to increase efficiency when doing calculations and reading long documents.

Anti-glare display for comfortable viewing

Matte screen materials prevent unwanted reflections to reduce eye fatigue. They also stop unsightly fingerprint smudges for more attractive presentations. To prolong productivity, ergonomically-angled and textured palm rest areas provide a pleasant and solid feel so you can keep working without slowing down

Extra-strict ASUSPRO™ reliability testing standards

Business and organizational users demand higher standards and greater reliability, and so all ASUSPRO™ Series notebooks are strictly quality-tested to much higher industry standards then mainstream notebooks. They prove highly durable in drop tests, hinge cycle tests, and panel pressure testing. They also ship with an anti-shock hard drive that includes a triple protection mechanism to ensure data is always safe.

Enhanced drop testing More than double the drop height of standard notebooks	Stronger hinge testing  20,000 more cycles than standard notebook testing	Enhanced pressure testing  Up to 20% higher endurance compared to normal notebooks	Spill-resistant keyboard  Occasional beverage accidents are no longer a problem

Anti-shock hard drive – triple protection keeps data safe from damage

 

Stringent 3-axial/6-angular shock 
and vibration test

Stringent 3-axial/6-angular shock and vibration test: as a point of assurance to users, PU500CA hard drives are subjected to rigorous shock and vibration trials in accordance with surrogate testing to beyond common industry standards.

Motion sensor defense mechanism

Motion sensor protection mechanism: G-sensor hardware and hard drive protection software pre-empt imminent impacts as an additional line of defense in keeping data safe and secure. They use a 3D digital accelerometer with three levels of sensitivity: off, normal, and high. The latter is activated by default, and impact detection remains on at all times.

 

 

     

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Metal bracket air bag

Metal brackets and shock absorbers: metal brackets add structural strength around hard drives, protecting storage beyond mainstream standards. This is complemented by shock-absorbing cushions designed as additional shields to protect data in the event of shocks or drops experienced by the notebook during transportation.

Worry-free security

Improved privacy with fingerprint scanning

Notebooks incorporating fingerprint scanning take data access authorization and protection to a higher level with a personal touch. RF electronic scanner imaging reads fingerprint patterns, using sensors that are less affected by skin surface conditions, including dry, worn, calloused, dirty or oily skin, which may impair the ability of other sensor technologies to accurately detect fingerprints.

 

Protect your data – trace and locate stolen notebooks

The ASUSPRO™ P ESSENTIAL Series utilizes Intel® Anti-Theft Technology to help disable access to the operating system should your notebook ever get lost or stolen, keeping it safe and secure. Notebooks are also bundled with Computrace® LoJack® for Laptops by Absolute® Software, giving you the power to remotely locate them. You can also remotely lock and delete data before it falls into the wrong hands. The LoJack® for Laptops dedicated theft recovery team works with local law enforcement to track down and recover lost or stolen notebooks.

ASUS Secure Delete erases data permanently

Offers an easy-to-use interface and allows users to permanently remove confidential data from the recycle bin by simply launching Secure Delete and dragging and dropping files to be erased.
