Career Boost: How to Pick the Right AI PC with ASUS

Starting a career may feel like it’s all too overwhelming — things are already highly competitive, and now, AI is entering the picture. It is not uncommon to hear about entry-level office jobs being threatened by the emergence of AI, but this may not be the right way to look at things.

When computers first emerged, similar opinions were circulating. However, these machines did not replace human jobs but became valuable employee tools. AI might be viewed in the same light, offering opportunities to learn how to use it to one’s advantage and prepare for future job markets. One needs the right tools to take full advantage of the latest advancements in AI. Ready to take that career to the next level? Here are the AI PC features to look out for.

AI-Readiness

The first step is to check whether the laptop is an AI PC. The easiest way to do so is to look at the processor. If the CPU features a neural processing unit (NPU), it's well-positioned to handle AI processes. Options can include most of the latest-generation Intel Core Ultra series processors, the latest laptop CPU offerings from AMD, featuring AMD Ryzen AI, or the Snapdragon processors.

When choosing an AI-powered CPU, consider the TOPS (trillion operations per second) number under its NPU in the specifications table. The ideal is 40 TOPS or more. It would be much better if the laptop were described as a Copilot+ PC. That means the laptop is designed to provide next-level AI experiences with enhanced security, speed, and personalization options. These laptops feature the latest, most up-to-date version of Copilot — the personal AI assistant from Microsoft. They have a dedicated Copilot key on the keyboard and have easy access to Copilot+ features, such as Live Captions, Cocreator, and more.

The latest AI PCs from ASUS also feature a whole lineup of ASUS-exclusive AI-powered smart tools that make all user experiences pleasant. These include the new ASUS StoryCube, ASUS Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation, and ASUS Adaptive Dimming and Adaptive Lock.

Performance for Any Task

Aside from handling AI, the laptop will also need to do well with many other everyday tasks, such as browsing the internet, word processing, or videoconferencing. Depending on the job type, users may also be required to handle slightly heavier tasks, e.g., running creative apps for image or video editing. Additionally, ample storage for large files is a must.

A laptop well-positioned to handle most work tasks will have an exceptional CPU – like an Intel Core Ultra, a latest-generation AMD Ryzen AI 300, or the all-new Snapdragon processors. All the CPUs mentioned above feature NPUs for AI processing and integrated GPUs ready for most everyday tasks, multimedia editing, or light gaming. At least 16 GB of RAM should be used as a solid minimum. Plus, having ample storage space, preferably 1 TB or more, is advisable.

Flexibility for Working Anywhere

The lighter and thinner the laptop, the easier it is to take anywhere. ASUS offers multiple AI PCs that weigh 1.5 kg or less and have a thin profile of around 1.5 cm or less—perfect for on-the-go lifestyles. When it comes to screen size, something like 15.6 – 16 inches proves to be a sweet spot, with plenty of space to work comfortably but nothing too large. 

A robust and long-lasting battery is essential to ensure uninterrupted work from any location. The new ASUS AI PCs provide up to at least 18 hours of seamless productivity on a single charge. This allows users to get through the entire workday without carrying a charger, enabling them to travel light and still have enough power for entertainment during their commute home.

Users need diverse I/O ports to fully utilize any workspace, whether at home, in the office, in a coworking space, or in a cafe. They should seek a combination of USB4 (preferably with power delivery and display support), USB 3.2 Type-A ports, an HDMI 2.1 slot, and an audio jack. A laptop with a MicroSD card reader is also highly beneficial, particularly for those working with photography or video footage.

ASUS AI PC that Breaks the Barriers

ASUS Vivobook S 15 is the first ASUS Copilot+ PC. Powered by the all-new Snapdragon X Plus processors and with the latest version of the Windows OS and ASUS AI-powered apps, this 15.6-inch laptop offers up to over 19 hours of battery life. The powerful battery and components fit into a 1.47 cm thin, 1.42 kg light chassis with an impressive 3K 120 Hz ASUS Lumina OLED display. It's a perfect machine for those wishing to use AI to boost productivity or kick off their careers. Available in Cool Silver color and with a sleek, modern design that includes a customizable single-zone RGB keyboard (featuring a dedicated Copilot key), this laptop looks great in any setting. And thanks to a full I/O lineup, users will have ultimate flexibility anywhere ― all at an affordable price of only PHP 69,995, complete with the ASUS 4A Quality and Service warranty.

With many merchants now accepting cashless payments through Maya, it's easier than ever for fans to get their hands on the latest merch and tickets.

Reliable Payment Mode for Every K-pop Occasion

Michael's friend, Marga Deona, also finds Maya indispensable for her K-pop needs. She frequently uses Maya Wallet to transfer money to Michael when he buys tickets for their group. 

Marga also prefers using the digital bank app for concert ticket purchases over her credit card because it boosts her Maya Savings interest rate.

"It feels like getting cashback. My most recent purchase helped me hit the max interest rate of 15% per annum," she notes. "The interest I earn can actually bump my budget from lower box tickets to VIP!"

Caycay Chua, an artist and passionate K-pop fangirl, integrates Maya seamlessly into her personal and business finances. As an online merch seller, she uses Maya to streamline payments from customers and manage her savings with ease.

Caycay values Maya's Personal Goal feature offering 4% interest per annum. This allows her to set up to five separate accounts for different financial targets, effectively managing and growing her savings for both personal and business needs. 

To support her business operations, Caycay leverages Maya Easy Credit to purchase materials for her merchandise. "I like the option to convert credit to cash, making it convenient when buying supplies from vendors who can't accept cards," she explains. With a revolving credit line of up to ₱30,000, Maya Easy Credit helps her to boost her business, ensuring she has the funds needed to keep her online store stocked and running smoothly.

Eraserheads will perform live at the UAAP Opening at Araneta on September 7

Get ready to wave your cellphone flashlights! The Eraserheads are set to perform at the opening ceremony of the 87^th season of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) on September 7.

Ely Buendia, Raymund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala and Marcus Adoro will reunite anew onstage as host school University of the Philippines jumpstarts the new season with an opening day extravaganza highlighted by performances from the iconic rock group and other amazing artists.

 

Recently, the EHeads were the recipients of the Gawad Oblation Award – the highest distinction that UP bestows on its alumni for their significant contributions and extraordinary service. The iconic group was cited for how they “indelibly shaped the scope and sound of our culture”.

 

The band’s performance during the UAAP opening ceremony will be a homecoming of sorts for them and a chance to perform for the bigger UAAP community and sports fans of many colors.

“We’re happy to share the news that the EHeads are going to share their magic with the UAAP as we start Season 87. It’s happening at the perfect time. They’ve reached the pinnacle of their career. They’ve reached the top, disbanded, reunited and have come full circle. They are true music icons and legends and our national pride,” said UP Office of Athletics and Sports Development (UP OASD) Director Bo Perasol.

 

Besides the Eraserheads, the UAAP Opening ceremony will feature other famous artists and top notch performers who will bring the theme of Stronger, Better, Together to life. Palawan Pay, Converge ICT Solutions, CDO Foodsphere and Strong Group Athletics are supporting the opening day event.

Separate tickets will be sold for the Opening Ceremony and the first basketball game between the UP Fighting Maroons and the Ateneo Blue Eagles on September 7 that will tip off later in the day. Tickets will be available at Ticketnet. 

Policymate Launches Comprehensive Pet Insurance

E-commerce insurance platform Advanced Abilities, Policymate, recently launched its pet insurance offerings to bring top-tier coverage to pet owners who want to ensure the best care and protection for their beloved “furbabies.”

Pet insurance ensures that pets receive quality medical care and empowers pet owners to be better “furparents.” With the financial support that pet insurance provides, owners can make health decisions toward proactive and preventative care rather than be limited by budget concerns. 

"Pet cats and dogs are more than just furry companions, they are cherished members of our families. We at Policymate believe that providing them with comprehensive insurance is one of the best ways to ensure another layer of support and protection without financial stress for when pets fall ill, meet accidents, or need wellness visits," said Angelo Antonio “AA” Buendia, CEO and President of Advanced Abilities.

The first among the providers in Policymate’s Pet Insurance category is MePets by Liberty Insurance. Liberty MePets insurance offers comprehensive coverage for pets including medical reimbursements for both common diseases like Lyme Disease, Distemper, Rabies, and Parvovirus as well as accidental diseases such as accidental poisoning or injuries. Additionally, financial assistance for burial expenses, missing pet coverage up to 90 days, and accidental death and disablement are also among the benefits for policyholders. Liberty MePets, with its network of veterinarians around the country, also makes it easy for pet owners to find trusted providers and tailor coverage to their needs and budget., 

Aside from the medical concerns of pets, MePet insurance also covers medical emergencies that pet owners may encounter. If a pet owner is bitten or severely scratched by their pet, policies include coverage for necessary treatment and medicines as well as financial assistance in the event of accidental death and disablement.

MePets also allows policyholders to upgrade their coverage to include third-party liability to cover costs for property damage and medical expenses if other parties other than the pets and their owners are involved in any untoward situation.

Together with its partners, Policymate aims to raise awareness about the importance of pet insurance and its role in promoting the health and well-being of pets. "We hope that in our effort to provide robust coverage options that cater to the diverse needs of pet owners, we can help foster healthier, and happier pets and more responsible pet ownership," said Buendia.

Policymate also provides options for Travel Insurance, Accident Insurance, Property Insurance, and Automobile insurance. For more information, visit Policymate’s official website at https://mypolicymate.com and Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/mypolicymate. 

Embracing Digital Banking: The Shift Towards Cashless Transactions in the Philippines

Digital transactions in the Philippines have reached a new milestone, with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) reporting a rise in digital payment transactions from 42.1% in 2022 to 52.8% in 2023. This surge has exceeded the BSP's target of digitalizing 50% of payment volumes as part of its Digital Payments Transformation Roadmap 2018-2023.

The convenience and accessibility of mobile apps and online banking have made cashless transactions the preferred payment method for many Filipinos. According to a study, cash usage has declined to 87%, down from 96% in 2022, as consumer habits increasingly favor cashless payments.

However, this rapid shift towards digital banking brings its own set of challenges, particularly in the area of security.

Enhancing security in mobile banking

For individuals who are new to digital banking, navigating online services can be daunting, increasing their vulnerability to cyber threats. This underscores the importance of education and robust security measures.

Cybersecurity threats like identity theft, phishing scams, and fraud are prevalent concerns in digital banking. Phishing, in particular, remains a significant threat, as cybercriminals use misleading websites and emails to steal personal information and compromise financial data.

To combat these threats, banks are continually updating their security measures to ensure safe mobile banking, implementing features like two-factor authentication, account monitoring, biometric authentication, and strong password policies.

Philippine Savings Bank (PSBank) reinforces its commitment to security by empowering users with greater control over their online banking experience. PSBank clients can lock access to their accounts on platforms they don’t usually use, ensuring that access to their PSBank accounts is restricted to their preferred and regularly utilized channels. Additionally, PSBank users have the option to lock or unlock their ATM card, offering an extra layer of security against unauthorized transactions.

Financial inclusion through simple and accessible banking 

The new PSBank Mobile app simplifies banking for every Filipino, whether they are new account holders or long-time clients. The app's upgrades introduce a more user-friendly interface, allowing users to customize their home screen with either a comprehensive or single account view, save and share transaction receipts, and access detailed loan account information. 

With PSBank Mobile, clients can easily open a time deposit account, apply for new loans, and even deposit checks. The enhanced app also features a customizable display of frequently used options, offering a personalized banking experience, complemented by vibrant images of iconic Philippine destinations. 

PSBank is committed to promoting financial inclusion by making banking accessible to everyone. The bank has simplified its account opening process to make it easier for Filipinos to start their banking journey. With minimal requirements of one valid ID and a selfie, individuals can open a PSBank account through PSBank Mobile, with the option to get an ATM card for free.

"Ihain ang Saya” – Judy Ann and Luna Show How Everyday Dishes Can be Made More Exciting

In many of today’s Filipino homes, the “joy” of serving some dishes has begun to fade. Beloved meals like the humble omelet sometimes become repetitive, boring, and joyless, no longer sparking excitement at the family table.

 

With Filipino culture is deeply intertwined with family meals—a space where stories are shared, laughter is abundant, and bonds are strengthened—uninspired or “paulit-ulit” meals lose their ability to bring joy and excitement, leading to “pagsasawa” (boredom) for both kids and their parents.

 In their latest heartwarming TV commercial, Filipino actress Judy Ann Santos and her daughter, Luna, perfectly capture this all-too-familiar scenario. Judy Ann, as a concerned mom, serves daily dishes to Luna, who shows visible signs that she wants something else, something better. Judy Ann wonders what she could do to make Luna enjoy her meals more—an instance relatable to many of today’s moms.

 

Then, a spark of inspiration strikes. Judy Ann reaches for a block of Eden Cheese, and with a few simple steps, her dull dishes are transformed into mouthwatering creations. Luna’s eyes light up with delight, Judy Ann dances with energy, and the kitchen is once again filled with joy and excitement.

 

The scenes show how happiness can be served once again to tables, bringing smiles back to families’ faces. With Eden inspiring them, more Filipino moms can be empowered and encouraged to create more delicious meals that will surely be loved by those who matter most to them.  

With that inspiration, they not only enhance the flavors and versions of everyday dishes, but also make them more nutritious—as Eden is enriched with milk vitamins (A, B2, D), Calcium, and Zinc.

 

“We believe that through every dish there is an opportunity to serve joy,” said Mark Banawa, Brand Manager of Eden Cheese. “Our collaboration with Judy Ann Santos and Luna perfectly captures this belief. By showing how “paulit-ulit” meals can be transformed into an exciting experience, we hope to empower moms across the Philippines to rediscover the inspiration of home dishes, helping them to win against the ‘sawa’ that’s likely being experienced.”

 

Judy Ann Santos expressed her excitement and perspective about the collaboration. “As a mom, I always want to create meals that my family loves every day. With our story, we’re all reminded that with simple creativity and the right ingredients, we can make every meal special.”
