Taiwanese electronics giant ASUS recently unveiled its newest additions to its ExpertCenter PC range, a line of machines designed for business and enterprise users – these include the new ExpertCenter D5 Tower (D500TE), and the ExpertCenter D7 Tower (D700TE).
The computers come with the latest 13th Generation Intel Core processors, alongside NVIDIA GPUs, and are built into a 27-liter case for maximum expandability. ASUS says that the new models are “meticulously engineered to deliver professional performance, easy maintenance, enterprise-grade security and manageability.” The company also stated that the computers are designed using military-grade standards, making them more durable than your average desktop build.
The D5 Tower leans more towards education and retail applications, and comes with the Intel Core i7-13700 processor, and 64 GB of DDR4 3200 MHz memory. On the other hand, the D7 is designed more for content creation, data analytics, as well as manufacturing industries, packing the Intel Core i9-13900, and 128 GB of RAM. Both models also feature the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU, and are also available with up to 4 TB of hard disk storage, in addition to a 2 TB PCI Express 4.0 SSD, and come with WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 for wireless connectivity.
For software, the computers will come with the latest Windows 11 desktop OS. ASUS has also integrated its MyASUS app with both models, granting users access to a selection of first-party ASUS software – this includes apps for easy management of fan profiles for different scenarios for example, as well as connectivity with Android and iOS devices.
As for security, the D5 Tower and D7 Tower also come with ASUS Business Manager, which includes USB Blocker data-movement controls, system back-track, and an encrypted virtual partition to store important data. Physical security is also covered, with the inclusion of a Kensington lock slot to tether the case to a fixed object.
Also included is an upgradable chassis, with a modular, easy-to-open design without the need for additional tools. For example, users can instantly open the D7 thanks to quick-release internal components, and this goes for the hard disk and optical drives too, reducing time and effort when upgrading your components. ASUS says that upgrading the PCs is all the more easy now, and users can simply use their hands for quick and easy repairs, upgrades, and maintenance.
ASUS adds that the D5 Tower and D7 Tower are built to last, and are designed to meet and even surpass industry requirements, having been designed to meet the latest MIL-STD-810H US military standards, as well as in-house testing by ASUS. The company says that these designs have passed scenarios which involve humidity, extreme temperatures, as well as exposure to shakes and shocks.
With all that said, we can expect ASUS to announce regional availability as well as pricing soon, so stay tuned for more updates on the D5 and D7.
