Category:
Personal Computers, PCs for short, are computers for personal usage. They always have the following components: - A processor (CPU), this is the heart of your computer, where the data processing is done. - Memory (RAM), this is very fast memory in which temporary data is stored before being processed by the processor. - Motherboard, this is the component that connects all the different parts of your computer. Often it has some integrated components like a sound card, enabling your computer to play sound, or a network card, to connect your computer to the network. - Video board, this is the part of your computer that is responsible for the graphics processing. Micro ATX motherboards often have an integrated video board. Those integrated video boards are generally not very well suited for playing games, but good enough for watching movies. - Hard disk, this is the permanent memory of your computer where your data is stored. - An optional DVD/CD player/recorder for reading/writing DVDs/CDs.

Powered by the 4th gen Intel® processor, and featuring SonicMaster Technology, the new VivoPC is the answer to your day-to-day computing needs; and provides you with a cinematic multimedia experience. The small form factor even includes Vivo DualBay for flexible dual storage options so you can speed up the operating system or have even more space for movies and music.


Vivo DualBay - Flexible dual storage design

VivoPC VM42 features a unique dual storage design that can accommodate up to two storage drives. So whether you’re after larger storage capacities or faster data access speeds, you can mix and match between hard disk and solid state drive to better suit your needs.

If you’re looking for space to house your movie or music libraries, use a single 3.5-inch or two 2.5-inch hard disk drives. Alternatively, you can choose a combination of 2.5-inch hard disk and solid state drive to speed up your operating system.

Future-proofing home entertainment

The VivoPC VM42 packs powerful 4th generation Intel® Celeron processor and powerful integrated graphics for incredibly-detailed visuals. Kick back and relax with ASUS VivoPC while browsing the web, viewing photos from your SD card and watching videos with HD playback.

Pitch-perfect audio

External speakers? You don't need them. VivoPC has everything you need right out of the box. Built-in SonicMaster speakers and MaxxAudio tuning ensures pitch-perfect audio, every time.

Intuitive audio effect setting

SonicMaster and AudioWizard audio utilities found on VivoPC ensure the best sound for your movies and music. A few simple clicks load up optimized audio setting for your Hollywood blockbuster or ripping guitar solos.

Cloud access anytime, anywhere

ASUS HomeCloud creates a world without boundaries. It lets you access your VivoPC remotely, stream multimedia content to wherever you want, and manage all your files anywhere — no matter where it's stored. It even turns your hard drive into a private cloud. VivoPC comes with a year’s worth of 100GB of ASUS WebStorage free, so your files in the cloud can be accessed on any device with an internet connection.

Stable and fast wireless connections

VivoPC ensures stable fast connections with dedicated antennas for its 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands; while a hotspot function lets other devices piggy-back on your VivoPC's web connection.

Chic and elegant design

VivoPC defies convention and redefines the look of a desktop PC.
Simple and elegant, its spun-metal finish fits right in your living or workspace.

Full compatibility for convenient connectivity

VivoPC VM42 isn‘t short on connectivity options either, with an array of ports that are compatible with a multitude of devices.

VivoPC VM42 comes with numerous USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports, with the latter delivering faster device charging and up to 10 times faster transfer speeds than previous generation USB for quick file transfers and device syncing. VivoPC VM42 has an optical SPDIF output port for multi-channel audio support. It also comes with two audio output jacks; and that’s accompanied by HDMI and DisplayPort output ports for connections to HD displays or TVs.
