Amit Sinha, COO-Paytm Mall, said,
“We are excited to partner with Asus for the exclusive launch of Asus VivoBook X507 range on Paytm Mall and through Asus partnered offline stores. In our country, up to 80 % of Offline retail stores do not have the necessary technology to manage their inventory and are not equipped to join the online commerce revolution. Our O2O model is deeply in sync with what the offline shopkeepers need and hence we are offering a unified solution, Paytm Mall PoS. They can now cater to walk-in customers conveniently and can also fulfill online orders locally through this connected PoS system. In the first phase, we are enabling Asus branded offline stores and will soon be expanding further “We have been working closely with our partnered brand and retail stores. We realized that 96% of offline stores are under 500 Sq. Ft and face challenges with keeping all stock/sizes/material and there’s a massive cost associated with it. Therefore, we are also introducing an interactive “Digital Experience Zone” to give a virtual interactive experience to the customer once they walk-in to the store. At Paytm Mall, we are on a mission to bring every offline seller to our online platform and this further strengthens our commitment to this cause.”
For security, the laptop features a fingerprint scanner and Windows Hello feature to unlock the laptop. The 33Whr battery on the X507 supports fast charging and can top up the battery from 0-60% in just 49 mins, as claimed by the company. For connectivity, the X507 comes with 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, 2x USB 2.0 ports 1x USB 3.0 port and a microSD card slot. The laptop weighs 1.68 kg.
