Design

The PC that’s part of your décor

Every aspect of ASUS S501MD has been carefully thought out to create a balanced design. Its unique outlook, inspired by modern geometric architecture, carries a contemporary 3D triangular pattern and intricate texture to complement any interior space — and is ideal for the home or small studio. This design is more than aesthetically pleasing: the tilted chassis enables increased airflow through the base, improving cooling for smooth performance even under heavy loads.

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.

Connectivity

Comprehensive, hassle-free connections

With a total of eight USB ports, ASUS S501MD makes it easy to upload and transfer files or connect to external devices. Four front-mounted ports make it even more convenient for you to hook up external drives, cameras or mobile devices without having to reach around the back of the PC.
