ASUS ExpertBook B9 (B9400) review – surprisingly good performance from one of the lightest laptops out there
Source: Laptop Media English
You know, premium business notebooks are not a rarity these days. Pretty much every manufacturer out there has at least one offering in this segment. However, it is pretty hard to nail it. Well, ASUS is pretty close to doing it with its ExpertBook B9 (B9400). It is absolutely packed with features, spanning from the software-enhanced noise cancellation, located in the easy-to-use MyASUS app. From there, you can pick between three performance presets, delivering either the best out of the hardware or a completely silent operation. At the end of the day, ASUS has made a huge claim with this laptop. It has the performance, looks, and structural integrity to beat many premium laptops on the market. In fact, we think that the reason to pick another device, like the ThinkPad X1 Carbon 9th Gen, would be down only to personal preference.

70% Asus ExpertBook B9450CEA
Source: PC Mag English
The Asus ExpertBook B9450CEA (starts at $1,599.99; $2,349.99 as tested) is a 14-inch business laptop that mixes portability and power. It's super thin and light at just 0.59 inch thick and 2.2 pounds, but it still finds room inside to run a potent 11th Generation Intel Core i7 processor. The B9450CEA has an attractive grab-and-go design, more ports than you might expect, and good performance for its class, but we didn't see the extraordinary battery life we admired when testing the original B9450, and it's a bit pricey compared to some alternatives. The new ExpertBook is a solid contender with a full feature set, but we prefer the stellar Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon or a slick convertible like the Dell Latitude 9410 2-in-1 if we're going to spend this much on a luxe ultralight.

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.
