ASUS today announced two new N Series laptops, the 15.6-inch N551 and 17.3-inch N751. These are the latest and most powerful models in this entertainment-focused range, introducing a new and elegant aluminum design sporting our iconic spun-metal finish that, combined with the ripple-effect detailing around the speaker grilles, gives them a fresh and modern look.

Both models feature exclusive ASUS SonicMaster Premium audio, incorporating ICEpower®, Bang and Olufsen technology, plus an external sub-woofer for cinematic surround sound. Spectacular visuals are provided by up to Full HD IPS displays driven by gaming-grade NVIDIA® GTX™ 800 Series graphics. Powerful performance and effortless multitasking are assured by 4th-generation up to Intel® Core™ i7 processors.

The most incredible sound on a laptop

N Series laptops are renowned for the quality of their audio, and N551 and N751 are no exception, with exclusive SonicMaster Premium audio, incorporating ICEpower®, Bang and Olufsen technology for crystal-clear sound even at high volume levels. SonicMaster Premium uses a combination of a powerful discrete onboard audio amplifier and an exclusive external 11W SonicMaster sub-woofer for full-range sound with rich and deep bass reproduction. A dedicated internal audio power supply guarantees clear, distortion-free sound.

SonicMaster Premium also incorporates MaxxAudio® Master by Waves, recipient of a 2011 Technical GRAMMY Award®. This features professional audio tools including four-way dynamic control, ten-band equalization with multiple filters, psycho-acoustic low-frequency expansion, and multi-dimensional spatial enhancement. The result is truly amazing sound, whether experienced through the full-range built-in speakers, headphones or a home theater.

To ensure the very best sound in any environment, the ASUS AudioWizard included with N551 and N751 allows easy optimization of audio settings. It has five presets for different audio and video genres, and users can switch instantly between these to choose the most suitable mode.

All the power, all the entertainment

Effortless, high-quality multimedia playback demands first-class computing power for maximum enjoyment. N551 and N751 are powered by 4th-generation up to Intel Core i7 processors for seamless multitasking, teamed with gaming-grade NVIDIA GeForce GTX 800 Series graphics for silky-smooth video playback and fast, fluid gaming. A powerful cooling design ensures that N551 and N751 provide maximum stability and performance at all times, even when using the most demanding applications.

Instant-on technology allows lightning-fast resume in just two seconds. For extra peace of mind, data is automatically backed up to the hard disk when the battery charge level drops below 5%.

Up to Full HD displays for stunning visuals

N551 and N751 are fitted with 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch up to Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS displays respectively, with wide 178-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles. ASUS Splendid technology ensures accurate color reproduction, incredible detail and vibrant, lifelike colors, meaning that N Series laptops offer users a stunning visual experience for photos, movies and gaming.

For an even better experience, the new N Series uses anti-glare LCD panels, which help reduce eye fatigue caused by unwanted reflections in brightly-lit environments.
