Asus ExpertBook B5 B5302FEA, 1115G4
Asus is rapidly carving a niche out in the business market with their enterprise oriented ExpertBook range with laptop models for all levels. The latest to join this family is the Asus ExpertBook B5 Flip which is intended to equip the ranks of middle management with a blend of features and performance ideal for a workplace or work from home mission profile that does not require a fortune. While the top of the line, the ExpertBook B9 uses the latest and most premium materials like a magnesium-aluminium alloy internal chassis, the ExpertBook B5 Flip opts for a more affordable and slightly heavier aluminium chassis. However, it still incorporates magnesium-aluminium alloy around the keyboard area to keep the overall weight down. With a weight of 1.1kg, the ExpertBook B5 Flip remains one of the lightest 13-inch convertibles in the market and one of the slimmest as well at 16.9mm thin. This laptop is definitely light and slim enough to make it portable enough in a handbag or a backpack. The top lid of the B5 Flip is made of aluminium and a matte dark grey bordering with a blue finish. The overall lid texture is fingerprint resistant. While there is a tiny bit of give in the middle of the lid if it is prodded hard, there is no obvious flexing in the rest of the top lid. At the corner, the device has a tiny indicator light to indicate if the user is on video call. This definitely comes in handy in the new normal. As for its keyboard, it is spill-resistant and is rated to survive with up to 66cc of liquids without damage. The B5 Flip comes in with a 13.3-inch LCD touchscreen display with 1080p resolution for a great viewing experience.
On the left of the ExpertBook B5 Flip, there are two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports to charge the laptop and to allow for output to external 4K displays, a micro-HDMI port, a physical volume rocker and a trio of indicators for power, storage and CPU activity. On the other hand, the right side houses a Kensington lock to secure it from theft, a HDMI 2.0b port, a single USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, a 3.5mm audio combo jack for headphones or a microphone and a power button which doubles as a fingerprint reader. As mentioned earlier, our ExpertBook B5 Flip review sample from ASUS uses a different 11th Gen Intel Core i3-1115G4 CPU from retail units which will use an 11th Gen Intel Core i5 or i7 so benchmarks will differ. In terms of its performance, this laptop has been equipped with the Intel 11th Gen Core i5-1135G7 processor paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. This combination is definitely best suited for basic office work. It is sufficient enough for web browsing, processing Word documents and shoveling through emails. This model has a 66Whr battery with 65W USB-C charging. Overall, it is a great office laptop to be explored, depending on the need and preference.Specifications

The ASUS ExpertBook B5 Flip is a durable convertible with a decent touchscreen and 360-degree hinges though performance is contingent on what processor you get with the 11th Gen Intel Core i5 and i7 for the Malaysia market being your best bets for competent portable performance.

The ASUS ExpertBook series is probably my favourite series of laptops especially when you factor in the price. The mid-high-end Lenovo ThinkPads and Dell XPS are brilliant, but the price tag will set you back a couple thousand more expensive. I’d say the material choice and design contributes to the reason why the ExpertBook series is not just lightweight but looking professional as well. Pairing all the above with the 11th Gen Intel Core processor, what you get is a compact and power-efficient laptop to get things done.

The Expertbook B5’s bit of flair comes with its trackpad, which doubles as a number pad with the ASUS NumberPad 2.0. By tapping the top right corner of the trackpad, a number pad appears on the trackpad and can be then used as such. However, when that happens, the function of the trackpad and number pad are laid over each other, so it takes a bit of getting used to. There is also a fingerprint reader integrated with the power button on the right side of the laptop. It is a nice addition, and works well, even if it can be a bit awkward to access at times. Overall, the Expertbook B5 is an enterprise laptop that lives and dies by its compact 13.3-inch display. It is small enough for those who are looking for a laptop with the size and portability of a tablet, though its size also means that it’s unlikely to be one’s main workhorse. The price starts at S$1,698 and is justified by its hardy build quality, though it’s the type of laptop that will make one yearn for an upgrade if it’s the only laptop at one’s disposal.

Based on our review unit, the ASUS ExpertBook B5 is a pretty good enterprise laptop. It’s powered by an 11th Gen Intel Core CPU, has two Thunderbolt 4 ports, good array of security features, good display, very lightweight, MIL-STD-810H build standard, Numberpad 2.0 is convenient to have, comfortable keyboard, and MyASUS being a very useful, user-friendly software suite. It’s not the perfect laptop however as the speakers are subpar, the battery life is short, there is no touchscreen support, RAM is clearly lacking, performance could be a little better, and it doesn’t come with a memory card reader. For enterprise users, this should be capable of handling work well enough unless it’s particularly resource-intensive. For that, I award the ASUS ExpertBook B5 with our Bronze Pokdeward.

The Asus ExpertBook B5 Flip B5302FEA is available as a campus model with a price advantage for students, teachers and others. But the convertible with Intel Core i5-1135G7 and enduring battery is also a good choice for the regular, hardly higher price, as our review shows.

Unfortunately, this model will not meet my quest to find a PC that fits perfectly between leisure and work. In fairness, it ticks all the right boxes but based on its specifications (and price), I found it too bulky/heavy to use in bed or on the lounge, and overkill for my personal needs. This PC is a business person’s dream given that it’s portable, powerful and only 17mm thick. If work is paying, this is a machine to lust after, having just the right productivity features to maximise video conferencing and crunching big spreadsheets. The battery life is great, and it charges fast to keep you mobile.

The Asus ExpertBook B5 Flip comes with a starting price tag of Rs 1,39,000. The military-grade certification makes the laptop durable and its sleek and lightweight design makes it highly portable. The powerful Intel processor, bright and sharp display and the lasting battery life also make it an ideal choice for professionals.

The audience that ASUS is pitching the ExpertBook B5 to is quite specific – gamers and content creators need not apply – but it is not a small one. For professionals, you should care more about portability, battery life and even the build quality. With the ExpertBook B5, you will get all of these for the price of S$2,098 (the same specifications as my review unit) alongside a brilliant OLED display. It is also among the lightest business notebook available at this size, and while the unit tested comes with just 8GB, the ExpertBook B5 has plenty of upgradeability options available including dual storage slots for those that need the additional bump in storage capacity, something that I suspect not many competing business notebooks from other brands are offering. Let's not forget for those who wish to have a tablet-like usage experience, the Flip edition is also available for just a hundred bucks more. For those who wish to have the base model of the ExperBook B5 that has an IPS display and a Core i5 processor, the series starts from just S$1,498.

If it weren’t obvious by now, this is a laptop I can 100% recommend. It does everything I want, has some optional features I definitely can and do use, and it does it in a stylish design that slips easily into an already loaded work bag. For me, it’s a no brainer. Probably the only thing we can’t tell you at this very moment is pricing. Having been announced only a month ago at CES 2022, Australian pricing isn’t exactly locked in just yet, but the I5/8GB/512GB model should go for around $1850, whereas the I7/16GB/512GB model should go around $2400 depending on your retailer. Given what’s inside this machine, and it’s target market though, this is no entry level PC and it is priced accordingly. If you need a serious work laptop that will do everything you can throw at it and more, the price on ask for the ExpertBook B5 Flip is entirely reasonable, and one you’d not hesitate in spending.

The Asus ExpertBook B5 Flip comes with a good mix of features which makes it an ideal laptop for working professionals. It has a really nice display. The CPU is great for daily work and while the GPU has its limitations, it should please users who are not into hardcore gaming. The flip screen and touchscreen support add further versatility. The multiple ports ensure good external connectivity. However, the biggest strength of this laptop lies beyond its specifications. It’s the comfort it brings. The overall compact form factor and lightweight nature of the device makes it a great business or university laptop. The only thing you need to consider is the hefty price tag.

With a starting price of Rs 1,39,000, the Asus ExpertBook B5 comes with a good mix of features and specifications making this an all-round work laptop for most working people. The highlights are the excellent design, the reliable performance, and the display panel. The overall compact and lightweight nature of the device is another plus point. Do note that the laptop weighs only about 1.3kgs. These are the key aspects in a good business laptop and the ExpertBook B5 ticks them all.

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?

To conclude my findings after using the laptop, here’s my verdict. As a whole, the Asus ExpertBook B5 [B5404CMA] felt like a jack of all trades and a master of none. The screen should have been better, the design could have been more inspiring, and the performance was adequate enough to handle most tasks. Sure, there are redeeming qualities, like the build quality, keyboard, trackpad, the bundled Asus Pen 2.0, and not to mention the truckload of software tricks within the MyASUS, ExpertWidget, and Business Manager apps. Ignoring that this is a business laptop and looking at the overall notebook market, I’d say there are much better laptops in the market at this price, even from Asus. But the enterprise laptop market revolves differently, so if you manage to grab the laptop at a suitable price and configuration for your business or enterprise, it’s not a bad deal by any means.

14.00:
14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
16.00:
This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.
