ASUS Malaysia has unveiled its latest line of education-focused laptops, the all-new BR series, tailored to meet the evolving needs of K-12 students, educators, and IT administrators. Combining rugged durability, upgraded performance, and innovative features, these laptops are designed to enhance both in-classroom and hybrid learning environments.
The BR series, which includes models such as the BR1204CTA, BR1204FTA, BR1104CTA, and BR1104FTA, is built to support diverse teaching methods, streamline IT management, and empower students with tools for creativity and collaboration.
Equipped with new Intel processors, AI-powered features like Microsoft Copilot, and student-centered designs, these laptops aim to revolutionize digital learning for the next generation.
The ASUS BR series is engineered to withstand the rigors of active classroom environments. Featuring MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability, rugged rubber bumpers, and spill-resistant keyboards, these laptops are built to last. The devices undergo rigorous testing, including 10 consecutive drops from a height of 130cm and over 10,000 hinge cycles, ensuring reliable performance even with frequent use.
The laptops also boast a spacious up to 12.2-inch touchscreen display with a 16:10 aspect ratio, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass for added scratch resistance. Additionally, the spill-resistant keyboards can withstand up to 405cc of liquid exposure, minimizing downtime caused by accidents.
For enhanced hygiene, ASUS offers an optional Antimicrobial Guard technology that inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria by over 99% on high-touch surfaces, making these laptops ideal for maintaining cleanliness in modern educational settings.
Powered by the new Intel Processor N150 and N250, the BR series delivers enhanced multitasking and efficiency, supporting high-demand classroom activities and remote learning. With up to 12 hours of battery life, students can work through an entire school day without needing a recharge, even during extracurricular activities or field trips.
Models like the BR1204FTA and BR1104FTA feature 360° hinges and optional stylus support, allowing seamless transitions between laptop and tablet modes. This flexibility fosters collaboration and creativity, enabling students to switch between group discussions, individual work, and artistic exploration effortlessly.
The laptops also come with comprehensive I/O options, including USB-C and HDMI® ports, ensuring effortless connectivity with projectors, displays, and other peripherals. This adaptability supports both hybrid and traditional learning setups, helping students and educators overcome technological challenges in dynamic educational environments.
The ASUS BR-series laptops are designed with modular components, making servicing simple and efficient. Key parts such as the battery, keyboard, and storage can be replaced in minutes, thanks to captive screws that eliminate the risk of losing small parts during repairs. This user-friendly design ensures minimal disruption to learning, allowing IT administrators or educators to handle maintenance quickly and reduce downtime.
ASUS’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in the laptops’ energy-efficient designs, which lower power consumption while maintaining robust performance. By extending the devices’ lifespan and reducing the frequency of replacements, these laptops deliver long-term value for schools while supporting environmental goals.
