Design

The PC that’s part of your décor

Every element of ASUS S501MER has been meticulously considered to achieve a harmonious design. Its distinctive aesthetics draw inspiration FROM geometric architecture, featuring a contemporary 3D triangular pattern and intricate texture to complement any interior space — and is ideal for the home or small studio. This design is more than good looks: the tilted chassis promotes airflow through the base, improving cooling for smooth performance even under heavy loads.

Less heat, more productivity
For dependable and sustained high performance required in content creation, multitasking, and gaming, an all-encompassing cooling system is crucial. ASUS S501MER achieves superior cooling efficiency through intelligent component positioning, which reduces the gap between the CPU and system fans. The tilted chassis further aids airflow through the base, surpassing competing designs in cooling capabilities and maintaining optimal temperature levels —allowing for higher processor clocks and frequencies and enhanced overall performance.
