The campaign combines AI-powered laptops with student-focused benefits. It also bundles free access to Google AI tools on selected devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Free Google AI with Select Laptops<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the heart of the offer is a new Google AI bundle. Customers who buy selected eligible ASUS and ROG laptops can get three months of Google AI Pro with 5TB of cloud storage. Alternatively, they can receive Google AI Plus with 400GB of storage. Both options come at no extra cost. The exact plan depends on the model purchased and its eligibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, students gain access to a wider set of Google AI experiences. These include Gemini, Deep Research, Google Flow and Gemini integration across Google apps. However, availability still depends on the plan and the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AI Built Into Everyday Student Work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, ASUS says the tools are designed to fit naturally into student routines. Rather than starting every task from a blank prompt, students can use AI for research, organising coursework and creative projects. For instance, Deep Research can help turn a complex question into a structured research base. Meanwhile, Gemini can assist with drafting and refining assignments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ASUS Zenni Claw Adds Guided AI Workflows<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to Google&#8217;s tools, ASUS is expanding its own AI assistant, called Zenni Claw. This feature is designed to make agentic AI easier to use on supported ASUS devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of requiring a blank prompt every time, Zenni Claw offers ready-made assistant skills. These cover everyday scenarios such as work, travel and daily planning. Therefore, students may find it a more approachable entry point into AI, rather than a separate tool to learn from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, Zenni Claw supports both local and cloud-based AI processing, depending on the device and task. ASUS says the feature also includes built-in safety protections, so users can explore agentic AI with more confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More Back to School Value and Savings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond AI, the <strong>Back to School<\/strong> campaign includes further savings for the new academic year. On selected participating models, customers can access discounts, free accessories and ASUS Education Store benefits. ASUS is also offering a one-year warranty extension for just AED 1, though offers vary by model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, families can use flexible payment options through the <a href=\"https:\/\/ae.asus.click\/26q1_eshop_uae\">ASUS eShop UAE<\/a>. This is intended to make both everyday and premium laptops more accessible for the new term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wider Back to School lineup spans three laptop series:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Zenbook<\/strong> \u2013 built for portability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ProArt<\/strong> \u2013 aimed at creative work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vivobook<\/strong> \u2013 suited to everyday multitasking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One Destination: ASUS eShop UAE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All participating products and offers are available through the ASUS eShop UAE. The platform brings together eligible laptops, campaign deals, Education Store benefits, flexible payment plans and doorstep delivery in one place. Consequently, students can move from choosing a device to setting it up more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Added Protection for Daily Use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since a student laptop travels between classrooms, libraries, caf\u00e9s and home, ASUS is also offering extra protection. Eligible laptops can receive one year of complimentary accidental damage cover through <a href=\"https:\/\/ae.asus.click\/25q2_apw_uae\">ASUS Perfect Warranty<\/a>. However, this benefit only applies if the device is registered within 90 days of purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Availability<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three-month Google AI and cloud storage offer applies to selected eligible ASUS laptops in supported markets. It can be redeemed through the MyASUS app. Meanwhile, ASUS Zenni Claw is available as a free, optional download on supported ASUS devices, though availability depends on region and device configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, this year&#8217;s Back to School push pairs new hardware with practical AI tools and added ownership benefits, giving students a more complete package for the year ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ASUS has launched its Back to School 2026 campaign in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":106875,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9649,9624],"tags":[2267],"contributor":[9732],"class_list":["post-106874","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education-smart-sectors","category-smart-sectors","tag-asus","contributor-news-desk"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/asus-02.jpg.jpeg","author_info":{"display_name":"Rabab","author_link":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/author\/rabab\/"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106874","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106874"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106874\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":106876,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106874\/revisions\/106876"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106875"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106874"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106874"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106874"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=106874"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
