 Smart Response Technology
SSD Speed with HDD Capacity 
Intel
®
 Smart Response Technology boosts overall system performance. It uses an installed 
fast SSD (min 18.6GB available capacity required) as a cache for frequently accessed data. 
Key benefits include reduced load and wait times, and lower power consumption through the 
elimination of unnecessary hard drive spin. This technology combines SSD performance with 
hard drive capacity, operating up to 4X faster than a hard drive-only system, and an important 
part of Green ASUS eco-friendly computing.

 Core™ processor 
family on Windows

 Smart Connect Technology
Your computer could receive web updates with fresh content for selected applications even 
when setting the system to sleep. This means less time waiting for applications to start, 
update and sync with the Cloud, providing a more efficient way.

“Ultimate COOL!” Thermal Solutions
TUF Thermal Armor
New generation Thermal Armor boosts cooling with dual turbo fans, enhancing the original 
TUF thermal design, and helping direct hot air away from components and the motherboard 
via smart shunt funneling. It covers the entire board with more powerful airflow, and uses 
special heat pipes to expedite thermal removal, and make sure temperatures stay low. The 
dedicated I/O cover fan draws additional cold air in, and expels even more heat for  improved 
stability, plus new Thermal Armor comes with special convection holes in the PCB to facilitate 
underside flow. It now sports a military-themed style, perfect for case modders.
