At its ASUS 360 exhibit in SM Megamall, ASUS Philippines demonstrated how its products can be used and applied for making everyday life easier for just about everyone – from the student trying to finish his coursework, to the professional, who wants to land that deadline.
The company also unveiled two new consumer notebooks – the X407 and X507. With a price tag that starts at only PhP27,995, these machines are designed to give that productive edge by offering solid performance , without putting a huge dent in your pocket.
Apart from the screen size, the X407 and X507 share mostly the same specifications. Both are powered by up to a 7th Gen Core i7 processor, up to an NVIDIA GeForce MX110 discrete graphics, up to 8GB of DDR4 RAM, up to a 1TB Hard Disk Drive, and up to a 256GB M.2 Solid State Drive.
As far as ports are concerned, you get a combo jack for your headset/microphone, a USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type A port, up to 2 USB 2.0 ports, an HDMI port, and a microSD card reader.
Both devices features ASUS-Exclusive technologies, such as Tru2Life video that uses advanced algorithms to produce realistic and vivid visuals, and ASUS SonicMaster audio technology that uses an innovative combination of hardware and software to deliver an immersive audio experience.
