Get the Job Done with Power, Connectivity and Security
To get the job done, executives need the computing power to breeze through documents, reports and, increasingly, multimedia content. They also need a comprehensive suite of connectivity options for communicating and collaborating with colleagues and clients, or accessing critical, timely information. To this end, the B80A boasts ample high-speed storage and memory. Of particular note is the B80A’s support for 7,200 rpm SATA hard disk drives, allowing users to enjoy desktop-like speed when accessing files. The B80A’s wealth of connectivity—including Draft-N wireless and Bluetooth® capabilities—as well as the built-in high resolution webcam, also mean the user is always connected, and video conferencing is easy.
ASUS Express Gate—8-Second Bootups and Instant Online
In addition to its unique technologies and software features, the B80A boasts the latest iteration of Express Gate operating system that enables ultra fast bootups and access to a host of commonly-used features, including a web browser, an instant messenger, Skype, a photo manager, a music player and online games.
ASUS SmartLogon—Quick Sign-ins through Face Recognition
This exclusive face recognition software offers an easy way to sign into windows without having to key in any passwords. ASUS SmartLogon captures and analyzes the owner’s face at the login screen, and signs him or her in upon successful recognition. With ASUS SmartLogon, inconvenient sign-ins via typing passwords are a thing of the past!
Docking Station for Convenient Peripheral Connectivity
The optional detachable docking station provides convenient and instant access to a wealth of peripherals whether at home or in the office.
Built with Usability in Mind

The B80A is also built for reliability, sporting a spill-proof keyboard that protects against spills of up to 50 cc of liquid. The keyboard’s built-in LED lighting makes it easy to work under dimly-lit conditions in one’s bedroom.
Robust Security Features
