Reviews for the Asus ExpertBook B9 B9403CVAR

90% One of the best business laptops: ASUS ExpertBook B9 OLED review
Source: Mezha EN English
A lot of business laptops fail to offer anything interesting, leaving a lot of room for improvement in certain aspects of the user experience. But ASUS ExpertBook B9 is much more interesting. In addition to a sufficient level of performance and good battery life, the laptop has a great display and speakers, its manipulators are completely satisfactory, the webcamera and microphones will allow you to communicate with family and colleagues without any problems, there are many options for quick authentication and even the ability to expand the drive. It's a really cool laptop. But yes, it's still quite expensive, and for some reason this model is without an LTE modem, which would definitely be nice for a laptop of this class.

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.
