EPSI announces the launch of the ASUS K Series Domino Collection for No-frills Computing in Taiwan

Notebooks Designed to Provide Multimedia Performance and Computing Versatility

Taipei, Taiwan, April  2009 – EPSI Computers, authorized distributors for ASUS in Sri Lanka stated that that ASUS has designed a series of notebooks to provide a no-frills computing experience to users while on the move. The ASUS K Series Domino Collection boasts the multimedia muscle to provide cinematic audio and visual enjoyment via a high definition LCD display, SRS® Premium Sound™ and Altec Lansing speakers. Users can also enjoy longer computing or entertainment hours with the ASUS Super Hybrid Engine for unplugged freedom, while a clever ASUS IceCool design ensures the temperature at the palm rest area is kept to a minimum, even after long computing hours. These features can be found on a notebook that is subtly iridescent courtesy of the innovative ASUS Infusion technology which provides the ASUS K Series Domino Collection with its ‘Domino' motif, lending a refreshing yet minimalist approach to modern computing design.

 

High Definition Multimedia Entertainment On-the-go

Mr. Sankha Jayaratne, group Product Manager, EPSI Computers, stated that  these models would  be ordered  on specific requests and could be  delivered within 2-3 weeks    He further added that the  ASUS K Series sports Altec Lansing® speakers with SRS® Premium Sound™ for high definition audio reproduction, as well as a high definition LCD panel of up to 17.3” with a 16:9 golden aspect ratio, high contrast rate and color saturation. It is further complemented by graphics solutions from either NVIDIA® or AMD® for a truly entertaining visual experience.

The K40IN and K50IN are equipped with the NVIDIA® GeForce® G102M, which uses 512MB of dedicated graphics memory to accelerate 1080p high definition video playback, photo and video editing, video transcoding, and casual gaming. The GeForce® G102M uses 30%, or 8 watts, less power when running graphically extensive applications compared to other dedicated notebook graphics processors, resulting in longer battery life per charge.

Power4 Gear Hybrid facilitates the deployment and usage of power according to the users' preferences in relation to the specific tasks that they need to perform.
