ASUS Military Grade Laptop Durability

Durability Tests

Above and beyond the ordinary

All ASUS laptops also undergo a barrage of grueling durability tests designed to push them to their physical limits. These tests ensure that every component of your laptop gives you long and reliable service, no matter how tough the going gets. We pound the keyboard with up to 10 million keystrokes, torture the hinges with up to 20,000 open-and-close cycles, subject the chassis to 50,000 twisting tests to mimic those one-handed dashes to the meeting room, and ensure the touchscreen has a precise and consistent response.

We also connect and disconnect the I/O ports 5,000 times for endurance, and check that performance isn’t affected by cable quality. Finally, we pressure test the display using a 25 kg force on the lid and the underside of the chassis. Only if it survives all these is a laptop deemed worthy of the ASUS badge.
