Asus Vivobook S17 laptop

Asus is a global leader in the computer hardware and electronics industry, founded in Taipei in 1989 by former Acer engineers. The brand name is derived from 'Pegasus,' symbolizing the wisdom and knowledge associated with the mythical creature. Initially focused on producing motherboards, Asus expanded rapidly into laptops, smartphones, and professional networking technology.

Today, Asus remains a publicly-traded Taiwanese multinational corporation. While the brand's research and development occur largely in Taiwan, the majority of its manufacturing, including the Vivobook series, is conducted in large-scale facilities in mainland China to meet global demand efficiently.
