ASUS announces its latest education centric laptops, available immediately for purchase

By Timothy Teoh July 7, 2023

ASUS has recently announced the availability of its latest line of ruggedised laptops, which are aimed for education purposes and specifically the “K-12” group of students.

For those unaware, “K-12” is a term used internationally to define students who are between the ages of 5 and 12 years old. The term “K-12” would be defined as “kindergarten + 12 years”, hence “K-12”.

In the context of Malaysia, this would mean that these laptops are designed for students that are between kindergarten and primary school ages. Because of that, the 2 available laptops in this range (BR1102C and BR1102F) are designed to be rugged and durable to withstand accidental damage cases in the classroom or when used around. 

ASUS BR1102C

As mentioned above, there are two available versions: the BR1102C and BR1102F, the former a conventional clamshell laptop and the latter a hybrid: regular laptop mode and having the ability to flip 360 degrees and be used as a tablet.

Besides a rugged and durable exterior, the laptops have features that will be appreciated for classroom use, such as a long 12-hour battery life, full function USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C ports, and WiFi 5 support. 

Both laptops are also 11.6-inches in screen size, allowing for easy portability for students, and include options for a stylus as well as a 13 MP front facing camera.

The BR series runs on Windows 11 and is powered by Intel’s N100 processor, which will be sufficient for classroom usage. It also comes with 128GB of internal storage with an extra M.2 slot for potential future storage upgrades.

ASUS has stated that both the BR1102C and BR1102F are available for purchase nationwide right now, and they both come with complimentary 1-year on-site service coverage to reduce potential downtime.

The prices of the devices are RM2,099 for the BR1102C (conventional laptop), and RM2,399 for the BR1102F (hybrid laptop). For further information on the products, check out ASUS Malaysia’s website and Facebook Page.

    OPPO reveals the Reno10 Series for Malaysia, available for pre-order immediately

    By Timothy Teoh July 06, 2023

    OPPO has today announced the arrival of the Reno10 Series in Malaysia, consisting of the Reno10, Reno10 Pro, and Reno10 Pro Plus. They are priced at RM1,799, RM2,199 and RM3,499 respectively.

    The top of the range Reno10 Pro Plus got most of the stage time in the announcement, with OPPO touting the phone as a camera behemoth, being able to capture portrait photos with near professional-like quality. 

    The Reno10 Pro Plus is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 CPU, and has 12GB of RAM with 256GB internal storage. The screen, which was also spoken about quite extensively, is a 6.7 inch 1240p AMOLED panel, with 120Hz refresh rate and maximum peak brightness of 1,400 nits. It also supports OPPO’s 100W SuperVOOC charging technology.

    The middle of the three, the Reno10 Pro, sports a more modest Snapdragon 778G CPU by comparison, but still has 12GB of RAM, 256GB of internal storage and a 120Hz refresh rate screen. Its camera systems sport a downgrade over the most premium offering however, with its telephoto lens not having OIS built in. Its charger also gets the 80W variant of SuperVOOC instead of 100W as well.

    Finally, there is the Reno10, the most affordable phone in the Reno10 lineup. We’re in proper mid-range territory now, and the onboard processor of MediaTek Dimensity 7050 supports that. Still, the phone is still pretty respectable specs wise, with a 1080p 120Hz screen, as well as 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. It also gets a large 5,000 mAh battery, albeit with a 67W charging speed instead.

    To recap, the prices of the OPPO Reno10 series are RM1,799 for the Reno10, RM2,199 for the Reno10 Pro and RM3,499 for the Reno10 Pro Plus. Pre-orders are open from today until the 14th of July, with interesting free gifts for early birds, including a 3X complimentary access to Plaza Premium Lounge.
