ASUS SonicMaster – a whole new standard in laptop audio:



Engineered and crafted to deliver a pure and vibrant sound experience, the ASUS SonicMaster standard was created by ASUS ‘Golden Ear’ team and the acclaimed Bang & Olufsen ICEpower® innovations house. Essentially a set of specification benchmarks for laptop audio, it guarantees the best possible sound quality for every kind of use, whether you want to kick back with a movie or catch up with friends on a video call. With the rise of digital music libraries and online streamed content, music lovers will be delighted to hear their favourite tunes in such lucid tones – finally escaping the crackling and tinny noises of outdated technology.





ASUS N Series notebooks deliver perfect sound, visuals and connectivity for the ultimate multimedia experience:



All N Series models will feature Sonic Master and the first two are available now in the UK – the 15.6” N53 with Intel® Core™ i3 / i5 and 17.3” N73 with Intel® Core™ i5. Both models boast large speaker chambers, powerful amplifiers and extensive software processing combining superior audio fidelity that is smartly matched with elegant, stylish and very eye-catching designs.



Both models feature top of the range technology to maximise your viewing pleasure and create a sensual feast of sound and sight, including a Blu-ray Combo drive, LED-backlit screen, superior graphics chip for smooth HD-playback and Video Magic technology to further enhance image quality.

Even with such impactful audio, the N Series don’t forgo computing practicality. Super-fast wireless and Bluetooth connectivity and up to a massive 500GB storage space make it a breeze to share and talk about your favourite films and music anywhere, anytime.





100 Free Universal Music Downloads with every N Series notebook:



The first 4,000 N53/N73 laptops purchased before 31st December 2010 are bundled with 100 free music downloads, courtesy of Universal Music UK.



With over 60,000 download tracks to choose from, music lovers can rediscover the pulse of the 60s with the Mamas and Papas and The Who; click heels and move to the beat with classic disco from Donna Summer; and get post punk hip with The Police. More contemporary sounds are found with uber-cool Bjork, Black Eyed Peas and the startlingly sassy Scissor Sisters. For some cool tones check out Razorlight or the indie electronic hits of Delphic whilst if classical is more the style Andrea Bocelli hits all the right notes.



After purchasing an N53 or N73 notebook, buyers can simply visit www.asus.co.uk/100freesongs and follow a few simple steps to obtain a unique voucher code, which will enable access to instantly begin downloading 100 free music tracks**





Exclusive SonicMaster competitions – the chance to win tickets to the very best of today’s live performances:



To celebrate the UK launch of the SonicMaster N Series, ASUS are inviting you to enter a series of music and film related competitions. First up are three pairs of tickets to the sold out* performance of the London Philharmonic Orchestra’s live performance of the soundtrack to Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King at the Royal Albert Hall.
