World’s lightest 14” business laptop designed
for professionals who are constantly on the go and need top-tier performance,
durability, and portability
KUALA
LUMPUR, June 15, 2020 — ASUS today announced the ExpertBook
B9 laptop (B9450), the latest in the new ASUS ExpertBook series to provide
unmatched performance, durability and design within the world’s lightest
business laptop form factor. The new ExpertBook-series laptops maintain the
professional and reliable personality of ASUSPRO products, but add more
innovation and flexibility to the DNA to meet the requirements of modern
businesses.
Weighing in at just 870 grams with a 14.9mm-thin
profile, the new ASUS ExpertBook B9 is the world’s lightest business laptop. A frameless
four-sided NanoEdge display means the B9’s 14-inch panel fits into a standard
13-inch laptop chassis with an astounding 94% screen-to-body ratio. Even with
its small form factor, expect uninterrupted performance on the B9 with
long-lasting battery life delivering up to an impressive 24 hours of runtime to
get through the work day and more, with extra comfort features like the
ErgoLift hinge for an improved typing experience, built-in Amazon Alexa
support, and a Harman Kardon-optimized audio system.
Designed for business professionals on
the go, the ExpertBook B9 delivers top-tier performance thanks to up to a 10th
Gen Intel® Core™ processor, dual-storage design with two ultrafast 2TB PCIe®
3.0 x4 SSDs, and up to 16GB of RAM next-gen connectivity with Wi-Fi 6
(802.11ax). Stay prepared for any business scenario with full range of
input/output options including two Thunderbolt™ 3 and HDMI ports and an
exclusive ASUS NumberPad 2.0 built into the touchpad for fast data entry. In
addition to being built to last with military-grade durability, the B9 takes
security seriously with an integrated Trusted Platform Module 2.0 (TPM) security
chip to keep business-critical data safe, while a built-in IR camera allows for
biometric logins for personal privacy.
Certified by Intel’s Project Athena as
engineered for mobile performance, the ASUS ExpertBook B9 offers exceptional
performance, fast connectivity, unmatched reliability, and rock-solid security.
Built for on-the-go
business professionals
With its unique Star Black finish, the
new ASUS ExpertBook B9 has an understated but sleek aesthetic. Housed in a chassis
milled from magnesium-lithium alloy, the B9 is tougher yet more lightweight than
previous magnesium-alloy models, with a 14.9mm thin profile and weighing in at
a mere 870 grams. A 14-inch screen with a frameless NanoEdge display provides a
more immersive viewing experience and compact, 13-inch footprint.
Other thoughtful design touches include
the ErgoLift hinge for more comfortable typing sessions, a quad-microphone
array that supports far-field and noise cancellation for videoconferencing, IR
camera covers, and a light bar on the front of the laptop that activates when
using built-in support for Microsoft Cortana and Amazon Alexa. The B9’s sound
system is also optimized by Harman Kardon, with down-firing speakers that
benefit from signal processing to make adaptive adjustments over time,
improving clarity and filtering out noise. For data-intensive workloads, the B9
is the first business laptop to include the exclusive ASUS NumberPad 2.0
technology, an LED-illuminated numeric keypad built into the touchpad.
Top-tier
performance
The ASUS ExpertBook B9 gets its
performance chops from an up to 10th Gen Core i7 Processor, up to 16GB of
LPDDR3 memory, as many as two 2TB M.2 SSDs in PCIe 3.0 x4 slots, and next-gen
Wi-Fi 6 networking. The B9 is also certified by Intel’s Project Athena, an
innovation program that establishes standards for consistent responsiveness
away from wall power, a demanding baseline for battery life, the availability
of comprehensive connectivity, and a drive for sleek form factors.
When at a desk, the B9 makes it easy to
increase productivity via support for an external monitor through the
full-sized HDMI port on the laptop’s left side. Two adjacent Thunderbolt 3
ports support display connectivity as well, along with fast-charging and external
storage. There’s even an Ethernet interface, accessible through a physical
micro-HDMI port, on the same edge, for workplaces that require a wired
connection for IT management or simply for situations in which wireless network
connections are weaker. Over on the right side, users get one USB 3.1 Gen 2
port and a 3.5mm jack for audio.
Professional-grade
durability and security
The ASUS ExpertBook B9 is equipped with
robust military-grade durability, surviving numerous MIL-STD-810G laboratory procedures
including drop tests, shock tests, vibration tests, high temperatures, low
temperatures, days of 95% humidity, and hours of sand and dust exposure.
Pairing a Trusted Platform Module 2.0
(TPM) security chip, a webcam shield and a built-in IR camera for safe biometric
logins, the B9450 offers rock solid security to help users safeguard business
data and maintain personal privacy.
Be prepared to use the ExpertBook B9 for
a full day’s work. The two-cell, 33Wh battery is rated for up to 12 hours of
productivity, while an available 66Wh power source can last as long as 24 hours
under the same workload. Fast-charging support brings either battery option up
to 60% of maximum capacity in just 39 minutes.
Seamlessly
integrate mobile with MyASUS software
The latest ExpertBook B9 includes the latest version of the MyASUS software. The software now allows seamless integration with mobile devices, using the Link to MyASUS mobile app that's scheduled for release in early 2020. New features include fast and easy wireless file and URL transfers for users who need to share files or web links seamlessly between their PC and mobile devices; Remote File Access for accessing data on mobile devices from a laptop, anytime and anywhere; and smooth multitasking using the screen mirroring and screen extender functions that gives users an auxiliary display for cross-referencing and other uses.
