Powered by innovation

ExpertBook B3 is engineered to enhance business capabilities, providing the fast and responsive performance essential for today's demands — enabling seamless multitasking, advanced data handling, and streamlined operations.

The up to Intel Core Ultra 7  processor with AI-ready architecture, an up to NVIDIA RTX 2050 or Intel Arc^™ graphics and 32 GB of DDR5 RAM provide both the raw performance and future-unleashing technology needed to innovate the way business is done, reshaping workflows to get the job done like never before.

The latest B3 models also benefit from a comprehensive set of ports for versatile peripheral connections and easy data transfers. This includes up to WiFi 7 connectivity, and a built-in smart card[iii] reader for use as a secondary ID check and enhanced security. There’s also the latest Thunderbolt^™ 4 USB-C^® port, which supports 40 Gbps data transfer speeds, 4K display output, an Ethernet socket, plus fast-charging support.

 

Flexible configurations

The latest ExpertBook B3 laptops offer the freedom and flexibility to be tailored to meet specific requirements or everyday computing tasks — with configuration options that include an IR camera[iv] and fingerprint sensor[v] for fast, secure biometric login, smart card reader for multifactor authentication and even 4G LTE[vi] connectivity for seamless remote working.

The optional touchscreen B3 models are also compatible with ASUS Pen 2.0[vii], and other MPP 2.0-compatible input devices, for versatile productivity.

 

Productivity-first design

Smartly designed for modern business and forward-thinking organizations, ExpertBook B3 embraces a true productivity-first approach — making it ideal for today’s hybrid-working paradigm. With exceptional visuals, fast charging and a long-lasting battery[viii], it ensures seamless and efficient productivity experiences.

To provide exceptional remote-working and video-conferencing experiences, B3 features AI-powered noise-cancelation technology that  cancels out unwanted background noise and picks up the user’s voice for optimum conference-call quality.

The bright, clear 14-inch (B3404) or 16-inch (B3604) NanoEdge display with wide viewing angles and a taller 16:10 aspect ratio, plus a greatly-improved up to 85% screen-to-body ratio, delivers superb visual experiences — with more vertical workspace.

ExpertBook B3604, in particular, also features a full-sized numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard, easing and speeding data-entry efficiency — perfect for when dealing with lots of figures.

 

Enterprise-grade security and privacy

The new ExpertBook B3 series is packed with technology to provide strong data security and privacy protection.

For starters, B3 has built-in biometric security — in the form of an integrated infrared camera for facial recognition and a fingerprint sensor for easy access. These are bolstered by a smart-card reader to enable easy two-factor authentication, with a password and recognized card required for login. A discrete TPM 2.0 chip securely stores authentication information utilized by software, safeguarding crucial data and transactions, including passwords and encryption keys. Testing to the rigorous US MIL-STD-810H military standard also assures superb physical durability.

The new laptops also benefit from a physical webcam cover for an assurance of instant privacy when it’s not in use — with just a quick finger flick required for operation. There’s also an integrated Kensington lock slot, providing a physical security option for safeguarding the hardware when used in unsupervised locations.
