Model: The ASUSPRO series is designed for those who wish to own a high-quality business notebook, and it certainly performs up to expectations. With the BU201 having a simple yet durable dark grey plastic casing, it forgoes design elements as it is simply a working device. Weighing in at only 1.36 kg, it is rather light to carry around for business and a height of 21 mm just makes it comparable to ultrabooks. Besides that, it has a matte 12.5 inch IPS display screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of up to 1920 x 1080 pixels. It features an Intel Core i5, an Intel HD Graphics 4400, 4 GB of single-channel DDR3 RAM as well as a 500 GB Toshiba HDD.

In addition, the BU201 delivers three USB 3.0 ports, a VGA output, a Mini-DisplayPort, a Kensington Lock for security, a 3.5 mm stereo jack, a 4-in-1 card reader, a SmartCard reader and a fingerprint reader. Additionally, it has a standard 11ac Intel WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 card for connectivity, and a 0.9 MP front webcam. Finally, the BU201 is powered by a 32 Wh lithium ion battery, which can last up to 7 hours with minimal settings.
