Description

The ASUSPRO PU401LA ultraportable laptop is designed for small and medium businesses. It offers affordable reliability, with a light and slim design. Laptops are reinforced and proven by much higher standard testing than other laptops. This includes drop tests, hinge cycle tests and panel pressure testing. Data gets added protection from anti-shock hard drives and the spill-resistant keyboard. Productivity gains from powerful Intel Core i5 processor and efficient manageability by Intel Small Business Advantage (Intel SBA). Additional security measures include a fingerprint scanner, plus quick tracing of lost or stolen laptops with Intel Anti-Theft technology and Computrace LoJack for laptops.

  • Ultraportable, subtle, stylish

    The PU401 uses a one-piece build, creating a subtle and completely consistent look. The design extends to the underside and removes unneeded clutter with a stylish brushed metal finish.
  • True-comfort keyboard and full numeric keypad increase productivity

    Business places great importance on keyboards, as they are vital for professional communications. ASUS engineers have fine-tuned the PU401's keyboard, providing better click ratios and 2.3 mm travel distance to maintain comfort during long hours of work. The keyboard also provides a full numeric cluster with page up/page down keys to increase efficiency when doing calculations and reading long documents.
  • Easier to use and more precise input with scroll, rotate, and zoom

    The touchpad has been enlarged to 107 x 61 mm, matching the screen ratio for an attractive look. Its 47% larger than touchpads on similar laptops from other brands and supports responsive and accurate multi-touch control. With more gestures detected, it effectively replaces the mouse, offering an intuitive input option.
  • Anti-glare display for comfortable viewing

    Matte screen materials prevent unwanted reflections to reduce eye fatigue. They also stop unsightly fingerprint smudges for more attractive presentations. To prolong productivity, ergonomic, textured, palm rest areas provide a pleasant and solid feel so you can keep working without slowing down.
  • Extra-strict ASUSPRO reliability testing standards

    Business and organizational users demand higher standards and greater reliability, so all ASUSPRO series laptops are strictly quality-tested to much higher industry standards then mainstream laptops. They prove highly durable in drop tests, hinge cycle tests and panel pressure testing. They also ship with an anti-shock hard drive that includes a triple protection mechanism to ensure data is always safe.
  • Improved privacy with fingerprint scanning

    Laptops incorporating fingerprint scanning take data access authorization and protection to a higher level with a personal touch. RF electronic scanner imaging reads fingerprint patterns, using sensors that are less affected by skin surface conditions, including dry, worn, calloused, dirty or oily skin, which may impair the ability of other sensor technologies to accurately detect fingerprints.
  • ASUS secure delete erases data permanently

    Offers an easy-to-use interface and allows users to permanently remove confidential data from the recycle bin by simply launching Secure Delete and dragging and dropping files to be erased.
  • Powerful Intel Core i5 processor

    With or without managed IT environments, professionals implement added security alongside intelligent performance. The ASUSPRO P ESSENTIAL series incorporates Intel Core i5 processor to deliver amazing performance and include manageability, graphics and connectivity-enhancing technologies.
  • 3X the charging cycle of Li-ion batteries and smart power connect alert

    The PU401 uses long-life polymer batteries as a standard feature, offering three times the life cycle of traditional li-ion batteries. Eco-friendly and money-saving with a lower replace rate, polymer batteries also enhance safety thanks to low electrolyte leak rates. Should the power adapter be only partially or improperly connected to your laptop, the PU401's embedded power connector alert will notify you of this problem, preventing sudden shutdowns and interruption to your work.
  • Up to two weeks of standby time and auto data back up when battery charge drops to 5%

    ASUSPRO laptops can remain in standby for up to two weeks, twice longer than conventional laptops. Also, real time battery life detection prevents data loss, backing up work as soon as the battery drops to 5% charge, so your data is always safe.
