Hands-on with the ASUS ExpertBook B9 OLED 2023: The world's lightest 14-inch OLED business laptop, priced at 49.99 million VND

ASUS has just introduced the ExpertBook 2023 lineup, a series of laptops designed for business users, to the Vietnamese market. Among them, the top-of-the-line model is the ExpertBook B9 OLED. So, what does ASUS offer to users with its flagship product? Let's find out with Mytour's hands-on experience.

In terms of design, the ASUS ExpertBook B9 OLED continues to maintain a similar design to its predecessor. The device features a basic design with predominantly black tones. The A surface is made of aluminum alloy and only features the ASUS logo and the ExpertBook logo with LED status indicators.

Crafted from premium magnesium-lithium alloy, the device is the lightest metal alloy, weighing less than 1kg, allowing users to carry it anywhere with ease.

Despite being super lightweight, the ExpertBook B9 OLED is incredibly durable, passing 28 military-grade MIL-STD-810H tests, as well as undergoing a series of rigorous durability tests conducted by ASUS. In real-world usage, the device feels exceptionally well-built, with no sense of flimsiness and a solid feel when carried around and used.

The Ergolift hinge raises the laptop by 2° to increase typing comfort, optimize heat dissipation, and enhance sound quality. The hinge provides a solid feel, eliminates keyboard flex, and prevents shaking when typing at high speeds.

Additionally, thanks to the Ergolift hinge, the laptop can be bent at a 90-degree angle for easy presentation to the audience without having to rotate the entire device.

Designed for enterprise environments, the ASUS ExpertBook B9 OLED features all the necessary connectivity ports for professional users. These ports include a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, 2 Thunderbolt 4 ports, 1 RJ45 port, 1 HDMI 2.1 TMDS port, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Wireless connectivity is also robust, with support for Wi-Fi 6E providing high-speed connections for seamless work processing. Along with this is Bluetooth 5.3 for stable connections to peripheral devices.

The D surface is also extremely durable and houses the cooling system along with the speaker system.

The ASUS ExpertBook B9 OLED is equipped with a WQXGA+ (2880 x 1800) OLED display, a 90Hz refresh rate, and a 16:10 aspect ratio. This display delivers vivid, smooth visuals, optimized for work with its large display area and ability to reduce harmful blue light for the eyes.

The webcam is positioned at the top corner, and ASUS also provides a physical webcam cover to ensure absolute safety. The webcam area also houses the IR infrared sensor combined with Windows Hello support for quick device unlocking. Additionally, users can use the one-touch fingerprint security method with the sensor located on the right side of the device.

To maintain the highest level of security, the laptop features ASUS Adaptive Lock intelligent login feature using infrared sensors to automatically detect whether users are present in front of the screen to proceed with convenient and secure face unlocking.

The keyboard features full-size keys with up to 1.5mm key travel, providing a smooth typing experience. The keyboard has backlighting and is spill-resistant. Typing on the ExpertBook B9 OLED keyboard feels exceptionally comfortable, making it one of the top-quality laptop keyboards on the market for individuals who work extensively with text and keyboards.

The touchpad is exceptionally large, made from high-quality materials to provide a smooth and responsive user experience. Due to its small size, the laptop does not have a physical numeric keypad; instead, ASUS integrates it directly into the touchpad with the exclusive NumberPad feature.

The laptop features an Intel Core i7-1335U processor and options for up to 32GB of RAM and a 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD, combined with a dual-fan cooling system to deliver a 34% performance increase, 32% noise reduction, and 27% lower temperature compared to its predecessor.

Finally, the laptop's battery has a capacity of up to 63Wh, promising an extremely long usage time. Moreover, the device also supports fast charging with a 65W power output through the USB Type-C port.

The ASUS ExpertBook B9 OLED is priced at 49,990,000 VND for the Intel Core i7 version with 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and 55,990,000 VND for the Intel Core i7 version with 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD. Generally, the ExpertBook series doesn't see many upgrades across generations, and the ExpertBook B9 OLED is no exception. The product only upgrades its specifications to avoid obsolescence while retaining the core values of a work laptop. If you're a user looking for a premium laptop for work, the ASUS ExpertBook B9 OLED is an extremely suitable choice for you.
