Can anyone explain the differences between the ASUS line of laptops (A,K,G,N,U,F etc series)

I've always wondered what the others meant like in terms of usage/durability/specs when it comes to the lettering

I know that G series is meant for gaming/multimedia so i know it has a lot of gpu/cpu/ram power and better cooling, but what about the A series? K series? F series? N seies? U series? and etc if i miss a few more.

can you also rank the most expensive, most durable and the cheapest/fragile of em all

Thanks

 

yes
A for Average
K for Kool with a K
G for __ing
N for Nnovative
U for Ultra Slim
F for Fail

Cheapest ones would be F like the opposite of a passing grade.
Durable laptops are typically the ones that do not leave your desk. Their u series is a far cry from a netbook. I am a fan of their U. For Durability i would go with a lenovo or toughbook.

 

lol fun, so F an A are the worst of their series right? G and N series are their powerhouse top of the line?

 

A/K are pretty much the same series, mainstream machines, N is multimedia oriented, U is generally ultraportable. F series doesn't really exist anymore.

If you go to asus.com and click on notebooks, they have them divided into groups like Superior Mobility, Multimedia Entertainment, Gaming Powerhouse, Versatile Performance, Business.

 

What about the X series?

 

X is lumped in there with A and K, pretty much all the same mainstream stuff.

 

So G and N are best of the best then?

 

B is the best for build quality. For the highest-end components it's G and N, for the best portability the U and UL series.

 

It is hard to say that F is the worst. If you search for it, you will see that there are tons of models that start with F.

Just look at the specs of a F8SN or F8Va (though both are discontinued long time ago). Noone could say they were the worst.

N is multimedia I think, but not optimized for gaming, though I daresay you could run many games on one. F and A seem to be their entry-level offerings, so don't expect much.

The G series seems to be considered their most durable, but it's not particularly portable. If you want both of those, I believe someone already mentioned you should probably look into Lenovo's Thinkpad series.
