ASUS ASUSPRO B9440 review – ASUS’ first official attempt at business-oriented laptops
Source: Laptop Media Archive.org version
And by the end of the day, is it still worth it, considering all the trade-offs and the current price? Probably not, unless you demand this exceptionally portable piece of machinery. In any other case, you can add just a few more grams, a few millimeters (barely noticeable in our opinion) and you can get the latest alteration of the XPS 13 (9360) or we can even go further with the HP Spectre 13, which fails at everything the ASUSPRO is good at but offers two Thunderbolt 3 connectors and it’s still amazingly thin and light. Smarter alternatives would be the 14-inch Acer TravelMate P648, the Lenovo ThinkPad T470 or the Dell Latitude 14 7480 and even the Apple MacBook Pro 13. All of which put usability before portability, yet they remain in the ultra-portable category.

Intel HD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2) found on some Kaby-Lake CPU models (15 W ULV series).

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. is a major Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei, founded in 1989. Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users.

Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems.

Beyond gaming, a wide range of notebooks are offered for different needs and budgets, from ultra-slim and lightweight ultrabooks to versatile 2-in-1 convertibles and budget-friendly options. In 2023, Asus had a 7% global market share of the PC market.

Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues.

75%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
