Geared for fast, responsive computing

ASUS X302 is powered by up to a 5th-generation Intel Core i7 processor for fast, responsive performance for multi-task computing or multimedia entertainment. X302 delivers exceptional visuals as well, thanks to discrete NVIDIA GeForce GT 900 Series graphics – giving users silky-smooth video playback and fast, fluid gaming. The 900 Series gives X302 a significant visual boost over normal notebooks; giving it photo and video editing capabilities, as well as the ability to play the latest games.

X302 can be optioned with a solid-state drive (SSD) for faster data access and application loading times.X302 also features a 38W lithium-polymer battery, with an enhanced battery lifespan that allows three times the number of charge cycles of the traditional lithium-ion batteries used in most notebooks.

ASUS IceCool technology and Full HD 1920 x 1080 visuals

ASUS X302 features ASUS IceCool technology that uses a unique internal component layout to address palm rest heating issues. This keeps palm rest surface temperatures between 28 and 35 degrees Celsius, significantly lower than body temperature so users stay cool and comfortable.

X302 is available with up to an LED-backlit Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution display, as well as in-plane switching (IPS) display technology. The latter gives X302 wide 178-degree viewing angles, allowing users to view the screen from virtually any angle without distortion, so colors stay true and lifelike.

ASUS Splendid technology ensures accurate color reproduction, incredible detail and vibrant, lifelike colors, ensuring X302 offer users a stunning visual experience for work, movies and gaming.
