Between classes and deadlines, ASUS offers quality, long-lasting support that students can trust

School is back in session, and if there’s one thing students learn outside the classroom, it’s that no semester ever goes exactly as planned.

One day, they could be pulling an all-nighter to finish a presentation with coffee keeping them awake. Next, they’re squeezing into a packed train with their backpack bouncing against every passenger in sight. They can be rushing between classes, internships, org meetings, coffee dates, library runs, and home–their trusted laptop quietly supporting them through every deadline, detour, and unexpected adventure.

For many students, a laptop isn’t just another gadget anymore. It’s where lectures are watched, reports are written, research is done, and ideas come to life. With so much depending on one device, it’s no longer enough to simply choose a laptop with the right specifications. Increasingly, students are asking the question: can I count on support after I bring it home?

**When coffee meets keyboard **

Every student has their own coffee-spill horror story or knows someone who does.

While accidents can happen in the blink of an eye, they don’t always have to spell the end for a laptop’s life. For ASUS laptops purchased from official ASUS stores and authorized retailers, students can count on a one-year local accidental damage protection.

That means one accidental damage claim during the first year of warranty, with 100% free labor and 80% of spare parts costs covered. The protection covers some of the common mishaps that students worry about, from liquid spills, electrical surges, to accidental drops and breakage.

**Daily commute hurdles **

In the Philippines, daily commute often feels like an obstacle course. Backpacks are squeezed and jostled every which way as students move from classroom to classroom, then to libraries, cafes, internships, and back home again. Every trip adds another layer of wear and tear.

That’s where after-sales support becomes just as important as durability. Eligible ASUS laptops are backed by up to three years of international and local onsite warranty, supported by service coverage in more than 90 countries and over 100 service centers across the Philippines.

Regular maintenance matters

Unlike textbooks that change every term, a laptop is expected to last through years of school. It powers through late-night writing sessions, online exams, group meetings, internship requirements, and everything in between. With that much use, regular maintenance becomes part of helping a device perform at its best.

Eligible ASUS laptops include up to six free preventive maintenance services, allowing owners to have their devices professionally cared for throughout the warranty period. It’s one less thing to worry about while juggling deadlines, extracurriculars, and everyday school life.

**When learning goes beyond the classroom **

The modern classroom is everywhere. A lecture can happen over a video call. A group meeting might happen at a coffee shop. Research can continue while traveling. Some students even complete exchange programs or internships far away from home, bringing their laptops with them every step of the way.

In today’s highly connected world, support should be ever present and available. With 100+ local service centers and drop off points in the Philippines as well as warranty coverage and service access extending to more than 90 countries, ASUS gives eligible laptop owners the confidence of assistance that remains within reach.

**ASUS deals for the new school year **

Preparing for a new school year is more than just about checking items off a school supply list. It’s also about investing in tools of good quality and premier service that can keep up with the demands of student life.

To help students get started, ASUS has rolled out a line-up of school-ready offers. Participating ASUS and ROG laptops come with a free additional one-year Local Accidental Damage Protection until August 31, so students can have peace of mind throughout the school year.
