Asus ExpertBook B6 Flip review: Beefy workstation convertible with stylus

Well cooled: Even for a workstation with a 16-inch screen, the Asus ExpertBook B6 Flip is quite big and heavy. But an efficient cooling system inside the convertible easily dissipates the 140 watts of waste heat generated by the Intel Core i9-12950HX and Nvidia RTX A2000.

As the name suggests, the ExpertBooks from Asus clearly indicate the purpose for which they were created. The powerful laptops for work purposes are particularly robust, offer screens that are easy on the eyes, and run on the Intel vPro platform. The specs alone reveal that the Asus ExpertBook B6 Flip is a strong workstation: An Intel Core i9-12950HX and a Nvidia RTX A2000 ensure comfortable computing performance. The 360° hinge turns the laptop into a convertible, which also displays typical equipment features. Inputs can be made on the ExpertBook with the touchscreen and digital pen.

However, the 2-in-1 laptop with its 16-inch screen and wide display edges is unusually large and also quite heavy as a workstation. Asus has placed a very strong cooling system into the somewhat bulky case so that it withstands almost any challenge. Large fans and heatsinks ensure that internal components remain cool.

Note: The manufacturer may use components from different suppliers including display panels, drives or memory sticks with similar specifications.

 

We have chosen various workstations from a number of manufacturers with different focuses as competing devices. The Asus ProArt StudioBook 16, MSI CreatorPro Z16P and HP ZBook Studio 16 G9 are aimed more at media designers, while the ExpertBook and Dell Precision 7670 are directed more at CAD designers and engineers. For the sake of further comparison, we also include the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro X as a competitor in the list, because the Nvidia RTX A2000 and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 are ultimately based on the same graphics chip. 

Note: The full review of the Lenovo ThinkPad P16 G1 is unfortunately delayed at the moment.

Case - Heavyweight despite light metal

The 2-in-1 workstation from Asus is big, thick and heavy. Despite the aluminum casing, the laptop tips the scales at a heavy 2,675 grams. The manufacturer did not go too overboard with the design, making for a resilient and high-quality impression. We also find the typical design elements of Asus on the dark blue laptop. So the laptop has a certain resemblance to the old mobile phones from a certain Finnish manufacturer, at least in terms of haptics. The relatively large display bezels look somewhat retro on the opened workstation, while the screen is protected by a finely textured glass panel that is durable and yet anti-glare without negatively affecting the laptop's image quality. The 1, 2, 3, 4 keys primarily stand out as design elements, lighting up particularly intensively with their white edges when the keyboard backlight is turned on.

As a convertible, the ExpertBook B6 Flip is relatively thick. So using it as a tablet feels a little unusual. The notebook is also remarkably large for a workstation with a 16-inch screen.

Equipment - Thunderbolt 4 and PowerDelivery

The selection of ports on the Asus Expertbook B6 Flip is relatively standard for a conventional workstation. At most, an SD card reader is missing here. The USB Type-C ports are fully equipped with Thunderbolt, DisplayPort and PowerDelivery. The large vents right next to the USB-A port on the right side are somewhat awkward. If not careful, you may accidentally damage the cooling fins with a USB plug.

The workstation has a Full HD webcam, which is also capable of face recognition via Windows Hello. The webcam's contrast and general image quality are good, but the color reproduction leaves a lot to be desired. Skin tones in particular are poorly displayed in our test card. However, some AI improvements or adjustments to the image could be made through the MyAsus application.

Security

The workstation is strongly positioned in terms of security. In addition to standards such as TPM 2.0, the ExpertBook B6 Flip has a SmartCard reader, a fingerprint sensor, a Kensington security slot and the option of face recognition. The Intel vPro also ensures ensures increased security in the company network.

Accessories

In addition to the power supply and documentation, the MPP 2.0 ASUS Pen is also included in the scope of delivery of the Asus ExpertBook B6 Flip.

Maintenance

Asus provides an English-language service manual for the ExpertBook B6 Flip, which describes how to open the convertible and how to replace the battery, M.2-SSD, RAM modules, motherboard and screen. Two of the four RAM slots and the two M.2 slots are easily accessible after removing the baseplate. The other two RAM slots are located on the motherboard's upper side. Those wanting to access these have to remove the entire motherboard. This is described in 16 steps in the manual. During this process, the screen and the entire cooling system must also be removed.

In our review device, RAM slots 3 and 4 as well as M.2 slot 2 are not occupied. Upgrades would thus be possible here without excessive modifications. But to replace the RTC battery, for example, the mainboard has to be removed.

Warranty

The Asus ExpertBook B6 Flip is offered with a three-year warranty worldwide. Depending on the country, the services offered may differ.

Input Devices - MPP 2.0 stylus and pleasant keyboard

With a keyboard, touchscreen, clickpad and stylus, the convertible offers many input possibilities. 

Keyboard

Asus ExpertWidget

With key travel of 1.5 mm and a crisp pressure point, the chiclet keyboard of the Asus ExpertBook B6 Flip offers excellent haptics. The keyboard's backlight is also pleasant. However, the brightness cannot be adjusted. In any case, the separate keys in the upper row of numbers are striking.

Asus could have made better use of the space available on the laptop. The large workstation certainly has enough room for a standard numpad and full-size arrow keys. Then again, the keyboard areas have been pushed together rather closely. The manufacturer states that the keyboard is splash-proof.

Quick access can be set for the conspicuous 1 to 4 keys using the Asus ExpertWidget. In addition to some presets, customized functions can also be created.

Touchpad

The ClickPad on the ExpertBook measures 7.5 × 13 cm. As in many higher-end Asus laptops, the touchpad is also equipped with a glass surface. It thus offers a pleasant feel, high precision and is also resistant to abrasion. A wide variety of gestures, which Windows 11 recognizes, can be performed with up to five fingers.

Stylus

MPP 2.0 ASUS Pen
MPP 2.0 ASUS Pen

The laptop's screen also supports pen input. The MPP 2.0 ASUS Pen was included with our review sample. This stylus offers two function keys and 4,096 pressure levels and is powered by a AAAA battery. It weighs around 13 grams, has a diameter of 8 mm and a length of 14.5 cm. Inputs are precise on the ExpertBook B6 Flip.

A pen dock is not found on the workstation, but the pen can be magnetically attached to the laptop. Unfortunately, the strong magnet in the stylus can also trigger the laptop's lock sensor. This occasionally results in the screen being turned off or the laptop being put into sleep mode or shut down (depending on the settings) when the MPP 2.0 ASUS Pen is carelessly attached. 

Display - TÜV-Rheinland certified display

Black screen from various angles
Black screen from various angles

The screen in the Asus ExpertBook B6 Flip has a resolution of 2,560 × 1,660. The IPS panel is therefore in 16:10 format. No real screen bleeding is visible, but the panel polarizes the light so much that bright spots show up in the camera image. According to the spec sheet, the screen is capable of a brightness value of 500 cd/m². We measured a maximum of 447 cd/m². However, we were unable to ascertain to what extent the screen's brightness were influenced by the light sensors above the screen during our tests. The light sensor was illuminated during the brightness measurements. Whether this stimulates the screen to full brightness cannot be determined, and the sensor cannot be deactivated.

Together with a black value of 0.3 cd/m², this results in a contrast ratio of 1,467:1. The touchscreen in the 2-in-1 workstation is protected by a glass panel. This is anti-glare thanks to a matte surface, making the screen of the work laptop easy on the eyes. This has also been certified by TÜV-Rheinland.

* ... smaller is better

The display P3 color space and the sRGB color space are fully reproduced in the workstation convertible. The ExpertBook can render Adobe RGB at around 85%. Since the Display P3 color space is mainly used for films, the ExpertBook is more suitable for video than photo editing.

With an average color deviation of ΔΕ 2.99, the Asus ExpertBook B6 Flip comes with a well-calibrated screen ex factory. When using the ICC profile from the info box, the average value drops only slightly, but the absolute values drop from ΔΕ2000 7.68 to ΔΕ2000 4.62. The screen is also able to accurately reproduce the color values in grayscale and saturation.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
17 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 7 ms rise
↘ 10 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 33 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
36 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 16 ms rise
↘ 20 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 44 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18071 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Compared to other workstations in our database, the screen's response times are quite high. But for a laptop that is unlikely to be used for gaming, the values are still reasonable.

Outdoors, the screen's slightly matte surface ensures few reflections. With the sun behind you, the readability of the display is still somewhat limited. A small readjustment of the viewing angle provides significant improvements here.

The ExpertBook has an extremely viewing-angle stable display. Regardless of the angle from which you look at the screen, neither color nor brightness deviations are visible to the naked eye. Even the camera image hardly reveals any changes in the display.

Performance - 140 watts for the i9 and A2000

The configuration options of the Asus ExpertBook B6 Flip start with the Intel Core i7-12850HX and 8 GB of RAM. An Intel Core i9-12950HX and 32 GB of DDR5 RAM represent the maximum so far. All configuration variants come with the Nvidia GeForce RTX A2000. Our review sample also comes in the best configuration (Intel Core i9 and 32 GB of RAM).

So the ExpertBook should meet the many demands of a workstation. However, the RAM may be a limiting factor, depending on the project scope. Extensive databases or 3D drawings with many components in CAD programs can quickly exhaust 32 GB. But this is upgradeable up to 128 GB.

Performance Control and Testing Conditions

MyAsus - Performance Control
MyAsus - Performance Control

The performance of the Asus ExpertBook B6 Flip is controlled via the MyAsus app. The three different performance levels from Performance mode to Whisper mode do not change the output of the Intel Core 19-12950HX. In all performance levels, the convertible can work with 160 watts for short periods and with 55 to 60 watts for long periods. This leaves only the Nvidia RTX A2000, whose performance is affected by the different stages.

In Performance mode, the graphics card's performance is between 80 and 90 watts. Standard mode limits performance to 60 watts. In Whisper mode, the performance of the graphics card drops to around 25 watts within five to ten minutes, depending on the load.

All benchmarks were run in Performance mode. We also carried out various power consumption and volume measurements in Standard and Whisper mode.

Processor

The Intel Core i9-12950HX is one of the most powerful 12th generation Intel Core processors. The i9 has eight P and eight E cores and can therefore process 24 threads simultaneously. The processor is thus able to operate at full performance in the Asus ExpertBook B6 Flip, at least in spurts. In many benchmarks, the processor in our review sample sets new records among workstations. However, it quickly becomes clear in comparison with other devices that the Asus 2-in-1 laptop cannot maintain such high performance over long distances. Already in the third Cinebench R15 run, the score drops by 1,100 points.

System Performance

The strong processor benchmarks are also mirrored in the system performance benchmarks with PCMark10 and Crossmark: The Asus ExpertBook B6 Flip is an exceptionally powerful laptop, with both benchmark programs attesting to its high performance capabilities. The ExpertBook also overtakes the MSI CreatorPro Z16P and Asus ProArt StudioBook 16. Both laptops, with the supposedly stronger A3000 and A5000, graphics chips, are powered with 90 watts, just like the ExpertBook. So the A2000 is able to surpass the supposedly stronger chips in terms of content creation. 

Even in battery mode, the performance of Asus' workstation is still quite high. The notebook always impresses with its high level of responsiveness. None of the tested applications from Fusion 360 to Solid Edge to various image or video editors were able to overload the laptop to such an extent that the system stalled.

DPC Latency

Despite the latest drivers at the time of review, we observed increased DPC latencies. Real-time applications are occasionally executed with a delay of more than 2 ms. If production machinery is to be controlled by the ExpertBook, this should be taken into account and programs with the largest possible buffer should be used. 

On the other hand, no dropped frames were registered during the playback of a 4K60 Hz YouTube test video.

Storage Devices

The Asus ExpertBook B6 Flip has a problem with temperature. The Samsung PM9A1 MZVL21T0HCLR gets so hot during operation that it has to reduce its power after short periods of time. Consequently, the performance of the M.2 SSD in the DiskSpd loop drops by half. Subsequent tests show that this can become even worse, with the performance of the SSD dropping below 800 MB/s in sequential read. Such temperature increases occur again and again in modern NVMe SSDs when they are installed without cooling, as is the case here. It is often sufficient for manufacturers to attach thermal pads under the SSDs to dissipate the waste heat from the small circuit board of the M.2 SSD to the larger motherboard underneath. On YouTube, creator der8auer recently examined the effects of various cooling methods for SDDs. The video shows that even small changes can have a big impact.

Graphics Card

The Nvidia RTX A2000 is a graphics card for professional users. Like the GeForce RTX 3050, it is based on the GA107 chip. The more recent version of the graphics card with 8 GB of GDDR6 RAM is installed here. Since the graphics chip in the ExpertBook B6 Flip can work with up to 90 watts, the graphics unit is above average here. Hence, the graphics performance in the ExpertBook is almost on par with the MSI CreatorPro Z16P, although a more powerful A3000 is installed in the latter, which also operates on 90 watts. Only in applications that require a lot of graphics memory can it show off its performance advantage.

Our benchmarks with 3DMark, Blender and other programs display the ExpertBook's strengths, with the workstation's graphics card demonstrating above-average performance.

Emissions - Efficient Whisper mode

Noise

In order for the ExpertBook B6 Flip to crank its fans up to full speed, the CPU and GPU need to be placed under considerable stress. At 52 dB(A), the notebook is then no longer as quiet as in normal operations. Most applications hardly bring the workstation into ranges where the cooling really works. If this indeed happens, we can confirm that no unpleasantly high noises are emitted by the notebook's fans. 

In Whisper mode, which still leaves a lot of performance room for the CPU, the fans spin significantly less than in Performance mode. Here, the ExpertBook becomes an extremely quiet notebook at around 32 dB(A) that is nevertheless high-performing. This combination is more familiar from well-cooled desktop computers.

Temperature

The ExpertBook B6 Flip blows out its waste heat upwards. There are two vents between the hinges, which can get very warm. Despite the powerful hardware, the workstation remains decidedly cool in the keyboard and palm rest areas. The same applies to the underside of the notebook. Compared to the room temperature, no part of the notebook that is normally in contact heats up more than 10 °C.

Stress Testing

The stress test also reveals that the workstation's CPU and GPU are not bothered by temperature problems. During one hour of load in Prime95 and Furmark, temperatures and performance values remain constant. At 70 °C and 73 °C for the CPU and GPU, respectively, one may even get the idea that both chips are not being fully utilized.

Speakers

The two downward-facing speakers in the ExpertBook produce quite good sound. Balanced mids and highs meet a not too weak bass here. The measured maximum volume of 81 dB(A) is still in a good range.

Asus ExpertBook B6 Flip: Review sample provided by Asus
Asus ExpertBook B6 Flip: Review sample provided by Asus

The Asus ExpertBook B6 Flip is big, thick and heavy, even for a workstation. But in this case, the manufacturer avoids many problems that often plague current laptops. Without getting loud or overheating, the laptop scores well with its performance and stamina. Only the SSD has temperature problems. If you do not require the highest frame rates, you can simply activate standard mode. This gives you a quiet laptop that continues to operate with a combined CPU and GPU power of a good 115 watts. Those who do not use 3D applications could even utilize Whisper mode, because the Intel Core i9-129500HX can also unleash its full performance potential in this mode. The 2-in-1 workstation's performance in the individual benchmarks is decidedly good.

In terms of design, the laptop is somewhat retro after all. The large workstation has wide display edges, is angular and is reminiscent of laptops from 2010 in many respects. But it becomes immediately clear upon closer inspection that we have a modern device on our hands. The connectivity leaves hardly anything to be desired, the display is of excellent quality, the webcam with face recognition is solid, and a fingerprint sensor and other security features are included. Apart from the form factor, the Asus ExpertBook B6 Flip is very convincing overall.

As a 2-in-1 workstation, this laptop is unique. The Asus ExperBook B6 Flip is probably one of the most powerful convertibles.

When comparing the convertible with other workstations, you often notice that this device is very powerful, notwithstanding the difference in size. The MSI CreatorPro Z16P offers a stronger A3000, but it cannot leverage this advantage consistently in all areas. Only the Asus ProArt StudioBook 16 with its Nvidia RTX A5000 hows significantly better performance than the ExpertBook in almost all graphics benchmarks. The Dell Precision 7670 and the HP ZBook Studio 16 come with better screens and slimmer cases. However, there are hardly any noteworthy differences in system performance. Even though the Asus ExpertBook tops most benchmark lists here, all workstations in the comparison field are still markedly strong.

Price and Availability

Asus already has a full product page for the ExpertBook B6 Flip, but no stores have listed the 2-in-1 workstation to date (14.01.2023).
