Less heat, more productivity

A comprehensive cooling system is essential for the reliable and sustained high performance needed for content creation, multitasking and gaming. With smart component placement that minimizes the space between the CPU and system fans and the tilted chassis that enables increased airflow through the base, ASUS S501MD is able to cool things more efficiently than competing designs — and keep them cool. This enables processor clocks and frequencies to be pushed higher for better overall performance.

Storage

Dual drives for both fast and high-capacity storage

The dual-storage design gives you the best of both worlds — the superfast data-access speeds of an SSD combined with the massive capacity of an HDD. You can have high productivity and efficiency with fast file access in seconds and effortless data storage for large files, applications, and media libraries.
