Models include: M5, S2, S3, S5, U5, W5, W6 series These laptops are less than 14.1 inches and often weigh far less than 5 pounds.Ĭapable Tasks: Low functionality gaming, video and audio playback, and web browsing. " Superior Mobility": This is Asus’s line of ultra portables. " Personal Entertainment Center": ASUS considers these laptops “Multimedia Stations for Room-to-Room Enjoyment.” Similarly to the w series, the A5 is smaller in size than the A7 series.Ĭapable Tasks include: (Similar to the "Digital Home") Higher level gaming, video and audio playback/editing, and web browsing. These models are the exceptionally thin and light versions of typical media centers.Ĭapable Tasks include: Higher level gaming, video and audio playback/editing, and web browsing " Digital Home": These laptops are at the breaking edge of portability and multimedia capabilities. Note: not all models are available in the United States, this is a global list. See Attachment at the bottom for a clearer picture*** ***Here is Asus's breakdown of the different models. It is not a good idea to classify them in the same group.
The W2J is a 17" multimedia machine while the W3J is a thin and light laptop. Although they share similar builds, they are not placed in the same categories due to size differences. To clarify: Concentrating on the popular "W" series, lets take a look at the W2J and the W3J. Now this may seem odd, but it makes quite a bit of sense. Now, here’s where the exceptions come in:Īlthough two models may have the same starting number, Asus has still taken the liberty to separate them into different categories. You will see what I mean when I break it down into the Asus categories. In fact, this is the most confusing part of the model number system. You will see that there is a lot more to the first letter than simply a chasis type or style.
Examples include: thinness, construction of carbon fiber, etc.Īlthough this is an over simplification, it is a good starting point. There are many versions of notebook chassis' such as: the " W" series, the "V" series the " A" series and the " M" series.Įach chassis has specific benefits and features. The W in this model number is the chassis style. Just to situate us, let’s take a very popular model such as the new ASUS W3J. Hopefully I can clarify these somewhat-confusing model numbers beginning with the ensemble level. And it would be nice if we could get a sticky on this beast. Due to the overwhelming response of confusion towards Asus's model numbers in general, I thought I would compile my knowledge into one post.
