So, ASUS is finally unleashing what it’s got on the business market. The ExpertBook B5 OLED (B5602) is a pretty powerful device, full of security and privacy enhancements like an IR face recognition scanner, and a fingerprint reader. Its input devices are amazing, especially the huge touchpad, which will definitely be an eye-grabber for your colleagues. In addition to that, you get a good port selection, and a decent slot selection – 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports, a MicroSD card slot, a SODIMM slot, and two M.2 PCIe x4 slots, which fit Gen 4 SSDs, and support RAID mode. At the same time, with up to 13 hours of Web browsing, you will be able to do an entire workday’s worth of light tasks. ASUS ExpertBook B5 OLED (B5602)’s display has a 4K resolution, comfortable viewing angles, and a mathematically infinite contrast ratio.

The Asus ExpertBook B5 is a truly outstanding business laptop but only if you end up with the right version. Opt for the larger battery, Intel Arc A350M GPU, OLED 4K display and keyboard backlight and you've got one best lightweight 16in laptops on the market. The only area in which the LG Gram 16 bests the Asus is in the weight stakes and you have to ask yourself if 280g really makes that much difference in the grand scheme of things. Of course, the reverse of that is that if you end with a B5 with the Full HD IPS display, 50Wh battery and Intel UHD iGPU then the LG Gram 16 is 280g lighter and better. If given the choice you have to ask yourself a question: Just how well-liked are you by the IT department?

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
