92% Asus ExpertBook B9 OLED (2023) review: Slim business notebook for demanding users

Powerfully mobile. High performance and long battery life at the same time. Compactly built and well equipped at the same time. The Asus ExpertBook B9 achieves the feat of being a laptop without any notable weaknesses. More so as the equipment leaves hardly anything to be desired - for a price.

In this review, you can find out whether this concept is a success.
