What parts make up my Asus laptop?
Being familiar with your laptop’s parts is very helpful not only to understand how it works, but to empower you to do repairs and part replacements on your own, without having to pay a professional. Asus Accessories is proud to provide 100% original, Asus-manufactured laptop parts so you can repair your laptop quickly and easily. With this guide, you will be able to familiarize yourself with all the internal and external components of your laptop. We can categorize laptop components into categories that make them easier to understand such as input devices, output devices, processing components, power components, connectivity components, and external components.
Input devices
Input devices include keyboards, touchpads, and external pointing devices such as a mouse or Asus stylus. The keyboard and touchpad are the primary input devices on a laptop. Asus laptops come with a range of keyboard and touchpad options, including backlit keyboards like this black keyboard for the Asus ROG Strix GL553, numeric keypads, and multi-touch gesture-enabled touchpads. The keyboard and touchpad design vary depending on the laptop model, but Asus laptops are known for their comfortable and ergonomic input devices.
Output devices
An output device receives data and converts it into a form that humans can understand such as text, images, audio, etc. This category includes the display module, speakers, and headphone jack. The display module, also known as the screen or LCD panel, is the interface between the user and the laptop and is responsible for providing visual output. Asus laptop screens are surrounded by a frame called a bezel which protects the glass display and adds stability to the laptop. The computer’s webcam is generally integrated into the bezel as you can see in the diagram. Asus laptops come with a range of display options, including HD, Full HD, and 4K resolution screens like this 17.3 inch full high definition display for the TUF Gaming FX705DT laptop. The display size varies from 11 inches to 17 inches, depending on the laptop model. Asus laptops also feature technologies like IPS (In-Plane Switching) and OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode), which provide excellent color accuracy and contrast. As far as the speakers, Asus laptops feature left and right speakers within the bottom case of the laptop.
Processing components
This category includes the processor, graphics card, RAM, and storage, which work together to process and store data. The processor is the brain of the laptop and is responsible for performing all the computational tasks. Asus laptops come equipped with processors from top brands like Intel and AMD, which provide excellent performance and power efficiency. The processor determines the speed and overall performance of the laptop, so it is crucial to choose a laptop with a powerful processor if you enjoy gaming or plan to run other resource-intensive applications. The graphics card (GPU) is responsible for rendering images and videos on the laptop screen. Asus laptops come with integrated or dedicated graphics cards from brands like Nvidia or AMD, which provide high-quality graphics performance. Dedicated graphics cards are more powerful and suitable for tasks like gaming, video editing, and 3D modeling. RAM stands for Random Access Memory and is responsible for providing temporary storage to the laptop's programs and applications. Asus laptops come with varying amounts of RAM, ranging from 4GB to 32GB, depending on the model. The more RAM a laptop has, the faster it can run multiple programs simultaneously. Finally, the storage in a laptop refers to the space available for storing files, documents, and applications. Asus laptops come with either solid-state drives (SSD) like this Asus NoteBook SSD M.2 2TB, or hard disk drives (HDD) or a combination of both. SSDs are faster than HDDs and provide quicker boot times and application load times.
Power components
The battery and charging components provide power to the laptop. In a previous article about chargers, we discuss how “by purchasing chargers and power adapters from Asus Accessories, clients can be confident that they are getting a genuine product that is optimized for their Asus device, and that they will not experience any compatibility or performance issues. Off-brand or generic chargers are often not designed specifically for your device, which means that they may not provide the optimal level of performance and charging speed that your device needs. This can result in slower charging times, reduced battery life, and even damage to your device.” Also very important is the battery, which powers the laptop when it's not connected to an external power source. Asus laptops come with lithium-ion batteries that provide long battery life and fast charging capabilities, for example this C41N1908 Laptop Battery for Asus ROG Zephyrus. Battery life varies depending on the laptop model and usage, but most Asus laptops provide anywhere from 5 to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge. Asus is known for its high-quality laptop batteries because they use top-quality materials and manufacturing processes to ensure that their batteries are durable, long-lasting, and provide consistent performance. They also employ advanced technologies such as battery cell balancing, voltage protection, and temperature control to prevent damage and extend the life of their batteries.
Connectivity components
Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, and USB ports allow the laptop to connect to external devices and networks. Connectivity refers to the ability of the laptop to connect to external devices and networks. Asus laptops come with a range of connectivity options, including USB ports, HDMI ports, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. The number and type of connectivity options vary depending on the laptop model, but Asus laptops generally provide a good balance of connectivity options.
External components
The external parts of a laptop protect the fragile internal components. In the diagram you can see the LCD cover, or lid acts like a shell protecting the display module. We offer a variety of LCD covers such as this VivoBook Laptop Rear Cover that includes the Wi-Fi antenna. The bottom case or base of the laptop which is connected to the lid by hinges protects the motherboard, heatsink, fans, battery and all other components within the laptop. The hinges also have covers on them to prevent dust or debris from entering the computer. On the sides of the bottom case, you can locate important ports like where to plug in your power adapter, HDMI cable, a USB flash drive and audio devices like headphones or external speakers.
In conclusion, Asus laptops consist of various essential parts that work together to provide an excellent user experience. The processor, graphics card, RAM, storage, display, battery, keyboard, touchpad, and connectivity options are all crucial components that determine the laptop's performance and usability.
