Anti-shock Hard Drive Keeps Data Safe

ASUSPRO B series notebooks offer increased hard drive protection, with damage-absorbing sponge cushions designed to protect the hard disk against shocks and drops during transportation. Additionally, the hard disk features a complete protection mechanism consisting of G-Sensor hardware and software that actively protects against imminent impacts in order to help keep data safe and secure. This system uses a 3D digital accelerometer with three levels of sensitivity: off, normal, and high. The latter is activated by default, and impact detection remains on at all times.

User Experience Professionals Will Appreciate

Comfort and pleasant user experience are key especially when you work long hours and often these involve working away from the office or while on travel. That's why the ASUSPRO B8430U is equipped with 14” wide view FHD, anti-glare display to reduce eye fatigue, a HD camera for more efficient conference calls, full-sized and spill-resistance keyboard with back-light illumination as well as the Sense point with enlarged clickpad.

Motion Sensor Protection Mechanism G-sensor hardware and hard drive protection software also pre-empt imminent impacts as an additional line of defense in keeping data safe and secure. In addition, smart card authentication ensures safe and secure online transactions while the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) provides the protection on a deep hardware level. To ensure even more security, there's an accurate and reliable fingerprint scanner which uses sensors that are less affected by skin surface conditions.

Trusted Platform Module for Robust, Hardware-Based Security

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a hardware chip integrated on the motherboard that securely encrypts data, reducing the risks posed by hackers looking to capture password and encryption keys to sensitive data. TPM adds an additional layer of security and allows notebooks to run applications more securely, making transactions and communications more trustworthy. When used in conjunction with an optional security software package, it provides greatly improved overall system security, file protection capabilities, and email/privacy safeguards. TPM enables stronger security than that delivered by the BIOS, operating system, or any non-TPM application.
