We’re more than a year into this crazy pandemic, and for the students out there, you’re on the final stretch of the school year. For some of you, this will be your final hoorah while for the rest, things will only get a bit harder heading into next year. If you’re still looking for a device that will suit your online learning needs, ASUS’s new ASUS BR1100 laptops may just be for you.

On paper, the ASUS BR1100 laptop isn’t the typical work machine you’d like to roll with. For starters, the laptop comes with an 11.6-inch touch display in a clamshell form factor for the traditional experience. To ensure the safety and durability of the laptop, ASUS reinforced the form factor with a MIL-STD-810H certification standard and a spill-resistant keyboard. Also, they reinforced each surface with their patented BacGuard technology, which inhibits bacterial growth over a 24-hour period.

Inside the device, you will find an Intel Celeron N4500 CPU with 4GB of RAM and only 64GB of eMMC storage. With this configuration, it’s mostly suited for simple work tasks, light web browsing and audio/video calls for school. If you think 64GB isn’t enough storage, the ASUS BR1100 also comes with an M.2 expansion slot that supports up to 1TB.

Other pieces of hardware necessary for online classes are the laptop’s webcam and connectivity options. For one thing, the ASUS BR1100 boasts a built-in 720p webcam with its own privacy shutter and an AI noise-cancelling microphone. With these, you can expect clear audio feedback during online recitations and class exercises. Also, the laptop comes with an integrated WiFi 5/WiFi 6 module and an optional 4G LTE SIM card slot for internet connectivity.

The ASUS BR1100 is available now for PhP 19,995 through their Shopee and Lazada stores.
