Last week, Asus unveiled a number of laptops in India that are designed to facilitate hybrid working. These include the 12th Generation B9 & B1 and the ExpertBook B5, B7, B2, and B3. The company asserts that the laptops are designed to boost productivity and provide a strong, streamlined experience. The Asus Enterprise Channel Partners will sell these new models.
Agile and resilient materials, “strong multi-layered security,” a built-in ethernet port, and many health protection measures, including ASUS Antibacterial Guard and a TÜV Rheinland-certified display, are some features shared by the updated ExpertBook family.
The 12th generation Core i7 P-series 28W high-performance processor from Intel, together with Thunderbolt 4, Iris Xe graphics, up to 40 GB of quick DDR5 RAM, and quick Wi-Fi 6 are found in the ExpertBook B5 (B5402CBA) and B5 Flip (B5402FBA). The displays have FHD resolution, a 14-inch dimension, and an anti-glare coating. As much as two SSDs are also supported. A touch-screen convertible laptop with a built-in stylus is called the B5 Flip. Both the B5 and the B5 Flip have built-in noise-cancelling microphones and spill- and splash-resistant keyboards.
ExpertBook B7 Flip (B7402FBA)
The ExpertBook B7 Flip supports up to 64 GB of quick DDR5 RAM and is powered by a 12th generation Intel Core i7 28-watt P-series processor and Intel Iris Xe iGPU. It is “designed for effortless on-the-go productivity,” according to Asus. The laptop has the newest Wi-Fi 6 connectivity as well as a 5G cellular modem.
Up to a 14-inch QHD+ (2560 x 1600) display with a 16:10 aspect ratio is available. Gorilla Glass serves as protection. The ASUS Private View display function, which offers a constrained 45-degree field of view and shields your privacy from prying eyes, is also built in. The laptop also includes the ASUS Pen and a 360-degree hinge. The body is built with “magnesium-aluminium alloy structural reinforcement for increased chassis strength.”
ExpertBook B3 Flip (B3402FBA)
The 360° any-position hinge of the ExpertBook B3 Flip enables use on both a PC and a tablet. A portable stylus is an alternative accessory for tablet use. The MIL-STD 810H US military standard protects the B3 Flip, like several of the other laptops in this family. Additionally, the laptop boasts a two-way AI noise-cancelling system that makes you seem clear and crisp to the other person by utilising sophisticated machine learning techniques.
ExpertBook B2
The ExpertBook B2 series (B2402CBA & B2402FBA / B2502CBA & B2502FBA) comes in flip- or clamshell-style designs with 14-inch or 15.6-inch displays. To “provide businesses a wide range of solutions to fulfil their business goals,” it provides numerous hardware customization solutions. The Intel Core vPro i3-i7 CPUs are what these laptops are powered by.
ExpertBook B9 and ExpertBook B14 (updated with 12th Gen Intel processors)
With Iris Xe graphics and a 12th generation Intel Core i7 processor, the ExpertBook B9 (B9400) has been updated. It has Wi-Fi 6, dual 2 TB SSDs of storage, and 32 GB of LPDDR5 5200 MHz RAM. NanoEdge technology has produced ultrathin bezels around the 14-inch display. For quick biometric facial login, a clever proximity sensor and infrared camera are also onboard. All-day battery life is guaranteed with the 66Wh battery.
The 12th-generation Intel Core i7 processor, up to 48 GB of RAM, and hybrid SSD + HDD storage are also updated for the ExpertBook (B14) B1400. It is made of aluminium alloy, weighs only 1.45kg, and incorporates a power-key fingerprint sensor.
