Asus StudioBook W500. LAUNCHED HARE ARE MORE DETAILS::;
During the recently
concluded Computex 2019, Asus announced its
latest NvidiaQuadro RTX powered laptops that are aimed at creators.
As part of the lineup, the company launched the Asus StudioBook W500, the
Asus StudioBook S 700G3T, and even the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo comes with RTX
cards. After the announcement, the company even put the laptops on display at
the Computex 2019 show floor giving attendees a chance to experience
its latest mobile workstation laptops. Asus initially announced its
predecessor, the Asus StudioBook S W700 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES)
2019 back in January with its plan to enter the mobile workstation market.
Asus also
revealed that the StudioBook W500 will go on sale starting from the third
quarter which means that there is still some time before the mobile workstation
is widely available in the market. However, we are not sure about the exact
pricing or availability details at the time of writing. The unique selling

Even though we have
already discussed the two main components that will power the laptop, I thought
it was a good idea to provide a recap of what all buyers will get with the Asus
StudioBook W500. This will give you some idea about how much power this mobile
workstation actually packs. So to begin, the Asus StudioBook
W500 comes with a 15.6-inch display with NanoEdge technology for thin
bezels, UDH display resolution, and professional-grade Pantone calibration out
of the box.
Moving to rest of
the specifications, on the processor front, the workstation will run ninth-gen
Intel Core i7-9750H with a hex-core processor, and Nvidia Quadro RTX
5000 GPU along with up to 48GB DDR4 RAM. Users will also get the option to pack
up to 4TB PCIe 4.0 SSDs in RAID 0 setup. Talking about the battery,
the Asus StudioBook W500 will come with a 76Wh battery to power the
laptop. According to the company, that will provide about 6 hours of battery
backup which is not really enough but that is the cost of a creator-focused
workstation with a Quadro RTX card.
terms of
connectivity, users get a DC-in port for charging, an RJ-45 port for internet
connectivity, Wi-Fi 6, an HDMI port, three USB Type-A ports, an audio port
combo, a USB Type-C Thunderbolt 3 port, and a lock slot. For people curious,
Asus has not added ScreenPad 2.0 or ScreenPad Plus for a secondary screen on
the laptop. That technology is only limited to the Asus ZenBook, VivoBook, and
ZenBook Duo lineups for 2019. Last but not least, the laptop will weigh about
2KG which is not really light but sufficient for all the internal hardware that
the laptop features.
