After several schools begun face-to-face classes last year, and 2023 marks the return to full traditional classes, due to years of online classes, gadgets have become a necessity for students – be it laptops, tablets, or smartphones. With students returning to their classrooms, however, it does not mean that these devices have become less of a necessity. After all – we are in a fast-paced era where technology such as computers and gadgets are required for immediate, reliable access to information to help us be competitive in school.

Variety With a variety of computers catering to all classes and users, whether a gamer, executive, student, or regular worker, ASUS has thought of your needs and helped you achieve your full potential. ASUS has remained true to its slogan, “In search of incredible”.

This year, ASUS launched the ASUS Vivobook 16X (M1603). We first noticed the 16.0-inch WUXGA (1920×1200) 16:10 screen. In my opinion, the screen size is just right because it is quite portable to bring around, and at the same time, you have a large screen to have a bigger visual workspace. This means better e-learning, better browsing and watching content, and definitely big in productivity. Backed by AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, the ASUS Vivobook 16X has you covered in various tasks like Microsoft Office apps, multimedia applications, or playing mode.

In my line of work, I was able to use Windows’s dual-screen function, where my browser is on the left and my MS Office on the right, where I can key in all the inputs of my research. It is an amazing mix of generous viewing, working space, and specs where you can do all your articles, and edit photos and videos smoothly.

With the same feature, I entertain myself by watching and listening to YouTube music videos while reading and viewing social media on the other side. Watching Netflix videos was also quite comfortable, since I would rather watch it on a bigger screen than on my smartphone.

In addition, it has ASUS’ IceCool thermal technology wherein the CPU runs comfortably in “performance” mode without slowing down or throttling. This feature puts my mind at ease as ASUS Vivobook 16X allows me to do many things, be it finishing my articles, browsing through the internet, responding to my emails, photo, and video edits, or for entertainment. What’s best is , with a 50-watt-hour battery, ASUS Vivobook 16X can last up to 7.5 hours.

To add to my peace of mind, ASUS and ROG laptops are tested with the world’s most stringent MIL-STD-810H durability test regime, and have two years of ASUS International Warranty with Platinum Protection Warranty for the first year. Users can also extend the warranty coverage with ASUS Premium Care and take advantage of ASUS’ nine-step exclusive preventive maintenance program.

ASUS Vivobook 16X also includes ASUS Antibacterial Guard, a special silver-ion coating applied to the keyboard, touchpad, and palm rest area of the laptop. It has been scientifically shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by over 99% over a 24-hour period.

You can unleash your full potential with the ASUS Vivobook 16X as a student partner or working professional.

For a starting price of only 37,995.00, the ASUS Vivobook 16X is almost the same price as hand-held smart phones, which is super reasonable. As a bonus, ASUS Vivobook 16X comes with a lifetime Office Home & Student 2021 license worth Php 6,990.00! You may also check out its younger brother, the ASUS Vivobook 16 (X1605/M1605).
