Powerful performance, whatever the task

ASUS S501MD makes light work of all your tasks, with a cutting-edge 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processor that delivers enough power for efficient work and optional professional-grade graphics cards to handle demanding intensive-graphic tasks. Up to three displays can be used simultaneously without adding an extra graphics card. Paired with up to 64 GB DDR4-3200 memory, you’ll enjoy lag-free multitasking when running all your applications and files.

Professional grade graphics

Designed for professionals, ASUS S501MD gives you a wide range of professional graphics choices. From video editing to 3D modeling, select your choice of discrete graphics to empower your creativity.

Realize your full potential with Intel® Arc™ graphics

ASUS S501MD is available with Intel® Arc™ A380 discrete graphics. This is powered by the gaming-optimized Xe HPG microarchitecture and enables Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) — Intel’s AI-enhanced technology for high-fidelity visuals with astonishing ray-tracing effects. Further enhanced by the power of a high-performance Intel® Core™ processor, Intel® Arc™ graphics leverage the Intel® Hyper Encode feature to turbocharge every encoding task. All this adds up to accelerated performance and efficiency for content creation, video editing and more.

Dual drives for both fast and high-capacity storage

The dual-storage design gives you the best of both worlds — the superfast data-access speeds of an SSD combined with the massive capacity of an HDD. You can have high productivity and efficiency with fast file access in seconds and effortless data storage for large files, applications, and media libraries.

Next-level AI noise-canceling audio technology

To level up professional conferencing, ASUS S501MD has AI-powered noise-canceling technology that employs sophisticated machine-learning techniques. The technology includes both an upstream function to filter noise around the speaker, and a downstream function to eliminate noise from the person at the other end of the conversation. This ensures minimal distraction for high-quality communication, so it’s just like being in the room with other people.

Fast and fluid

Smooth, clear graphics are crucial in eSports, where reaction times make or break plays. ASUS S501MD has an up to an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3060 discrete graphics card to pump out reliably high frame rates for fast and fluid gameplay.

The PC that’s part of your décor

Every aspect of ASUS S501MD has been carefully thought out to create a balanced design. Its unique outlook, inspired by modern geometric architecture, carries a contemporary 3D triangular pattern and intricate texture to complement any interior space — and is ideal for the home or small studio. This design is more than aesthetically pleasing: the tilted chassis enables increased airflow through the base, improving cooling for smooth performance even under heavy loads.

Less heat, more productivity

A comprehensive cooling system is essential for the reliable and sustained high performance needed for content creation, multitasking and gaming. With smart component placement that minimizes the space between the CPU and system fans and the tilted chassis that enables increased airflow through the base, ASUS S501MD is able to cool things more efficiently than competing designs — and keep them cool. This enables processor clocks and frequencies to be pushed higher for better overall performance.

Comprehensive, hassle-free connections

With a total of eight USB ports, ASUS S501MD makes it easy to upload and transfer files or connect to external devices. Four front-mounted ports make it even more convenient for you to hook up external drives, cameras or mobile devices without having to reach around the back of the PC.
