Less heat, more productivity1
To ensure stable performance in the compact chassis, ASUS S500MER employs an innovative multi-channel cooling system. This comprises dedicated, isolated air chambers that allow independent heat-venting channels for the PC’s main thermal generators — the CPU, GPU and power supply. ASUS S500MER also includes the exclusive MyASUS app to optimize the operation of the CPU and system fans, automatically moderating the speeds and switching them off completely when possible, striking the perfect balance between maximum performance and minimum noise.

Efficient power consumption
ASUS S500MER features a high-efficiency 80 PLUS® Platinum-certified power supply. Engineered with top-end capacitors for maximum durability, this enables ASUS S500MER to deliver power at an efficiency of up to 92% — resulting in less heat and lower long-term running costs.

Safer and more durable components
All ASUS PCs use 100% enterprise-grade solid capacitors in their motherboards. These capacitors are able to withstand extreme temperatures, ensuring smooth and stable performance, even after many hours of use.

Noise Cancelation

Two-way AI noise-canceling audio technology2

To enhance your home audio experience, ASUS S500MER has AI-powered noise-canceling technology that employs sophisticated machine-learning techniques. The technology includes both an upstream function to filter noise around the speaker, and a downstream function to eliminate noise from the person at the other end of the conversation. Try the demo to experience the amazing difference that ASUS AI noise-canceling technology can make.

Connectivity

Comprehensive, hassle-free connections3

With a total of eight USB ports, ASUS S500MER makes it easy to upload and transfer files or connect to external devices. Four front-mounted ports make it even more convenient for you to hook up external drives, cameras or mobiles devices without having to reach around the back of the PC.
