Singapore (27 June, 2013) — ASUS today announced the G10 and M51 Desktop PCs with the latest 4th generation Intel® Core™ processors and NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX graphics for smooth multitasking and high-performance gaming. Both new desktops also feature ASUS Smart Cooling technology for cooler and quieter operation, and ASUS Power Pack — a removable UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) that can also be used as a portable battery recharger for smartphones and tablets. In addition, the G10 and M51 are its first desktop PCs to feature ASUS SonicMaster audio technology for enhanced sound quality.
Powerful performance for work and play
ASUS G10 and M51 desktop PCs feature the latest 4th generation Intel® Core™ i7/i5 processors for improved multitasking performance and increased energy efficiency. The G10 comes with NVIDIA® GeForce® GT640 graphics.
Both the G10 and M51 also feature audio enhanced by ASUS SonicMaster technology and the same professional tools heard on the world’s most popular music, movies and video games, thanks to MaxxAudio® Master by Waves, recipient of a Technical Grammy® award. The ASUS exclusive AudioWizard audio interface also allows sound settings to be tailored to suit entertainment at hand.
Both models are housed in floor-standing tower cases with all-new designs. The G10 has clean, chiseled lines with a brushed metal finish and indicator LEDs that reflects the operational state of any attached external USB storage device. The M51 has a matte finish with a textured front façade that resists fingerprints.
Exclusive ASUS Power Pack and Smart Cooling technology
ASUS G10 and M51 desktop PCs also feature ASUS Power Pack, a removable battery that works both as a UPS in the event of a power failure and a portable rechargeable battery for smartphones and tablets. Power Pack will keep the PC running for 25 seconds on battery power and will automatically activate hibernate mode to prevent data loss during longer power outages.
The ASUS Smart Cooling System controls fan speed automatically based for an optimum balance of cooling and noise reduction. The system has also been designed to help reduce internal dust accumulation, which in turn improves system stability. Both PCs also feature the exclusive ASUS EPU (Energy Processing Unit), a dedicated controller that optimizes overall system efficiency by monitoring the system load in real-time and adjusting power requirements accordingly.
Superior storage and connectivity options
ASUS G10 and M51 desktop PCs feature the ASUS Universal Storage Module (USM), a hot-swap drive bay (hard drive not included) that makes it easy to add and share high-capacity storage. The industry-standard USM interface is around twice as fast as USB 3.0 and cartridge-based drives can be also connected to any computer via a USB adapter. Storage is further supplemented by 32GB of complimentary ASUS WebStorage for three years.
Both PCs also feature front-mounted USB 3.0 ports with Ai Charger technology for rapid recharging of mobile devices. The M51 also features an ASUS Wireless Charger tray for wireless recharging of smartphones and tablets that support the Qi inductive power standard.
