The Masters of Visual Entertainment
The ASUS Vivobook Pro Series laptops are perfect for those who love Netflix, YouTube, or social networking. Their 14.5-inch (K5404) or 15.6-inch (K5504) HDR NanoEdge OLED displays at up to 2.8K 120 Hz deliver an optimal visual experience with sharp details, 87% screen-to-system ratio and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut for ultra-vivid colors.

Next Generation User Experience
The ASUS Vivobook Pro series is packed with features designed to enhance the productivity and comfort of every user. The display is equipped with adaptive dimming technology that reduces the intensity of the display when the user looks away, extending battery life and reducing the risk of burns. Color and ambient light sensors automatically adjust the display’s brightness and color balance based on lighting conditions. The 180-degree hinge also facilitates collaboration and screen sharing. An optional fingerprint sensor on the power button makes it easy to connect with a single touch, while the ASUS AiSense webcam has physical protection to instantly block images. The ASUS 3D Noise Reduction (3DNR) feature removes noise from video images for clearer video conferencing. Advanced features configurable via the MyASUS app include background blur, lighting correction, gaze correction, motion tracking and an appearance filter. ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus treatment applied on the keyboard keeps the laptop clean by killing viruses and bacteria, including COVID-19 and flu virus, according to ISO 21702 and 22196. ASUS ErgoSense full-size keyboards offer optimal typing comfort with a 19.05mm pitch, 1.4mm long key travel, 0.2mm keyboard caps and optimized click ratios for optimal key bounce. The optional ASUS NumPad 2.0 makes data entry quick and easy.
Superior Sound
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 OLED and Pro 15 OLED feature Harman Kardon certified audio systems, powered by an intelligent amplifier and ASUS Audio Booster technology for up to 5.25 times louder sound. With Dolby Atmos® certification, these laptops deliver crystal clear multi-dimensional sound for music, movies or podcasts. The new AI Audio technology is powered by the AI webcam, which tracks the user’s position in real time and automatically adjusts the speaker’s audio beam so the user is always in the perfect place to listen. ASUS’ superior AI noise cancellation technology filters out ambient noise in both directions to provide optimal quality for group conference calls.
Design perfection
The ASUS Vivobook Pro Series compact notebooks are only 17.9mm thick and weigh just 1.5kg, making them easily portable. They are available in Midnight Black, Cool Silver, Cream White or Solar Blue finishes, while the new design employs stacked blocks around the input/output ports. Iconic elements include the embossed logo on the metal cover, stripes on the Enter key and the orange Escape key.
For optimal connectivity, the ASUS Vivobook Pro series has all the ports needed to connect peripherals, displays or projectors.
