Asus Expertbook B9450Cea-Xh77 14.0 Inch Intel Core I7-1165G7 2.8Ghz/ 32Gb Lpdd4X/ 2Tb Pcie Ssd +

The master of lightness and power

The world’s lightest 14” business laptop¹

Take charge of the business world with ASUS ExpertBook B9. Its sleek, precision-crafted and minimalist chassis pushes the limits of lightness for ultimate portability, while giving it a toughness that has no equal. It’s built for serious travel with an amazing all-day battery life, and is engineered with many cutting-edge technologies to improve your on-the-go work efficiency. These include a next-gen Intel® processor, AI noise cancellation, dual-SSD RAID support, ASUS NumberPad 2.0 and built-in proximity sensor. Enterprise-grade security ensures your confidential data is kept safe, making it easy to see why ExpertBook B9 is the benchmark for business laptops. Extremely portable, powerful and tough, it’s your ideal partner in the corporate world.

Lighter, stronger, and more portable

Asus has trimmed all excess bulk from ExpertBook B9 and encased it in a durable, magnesium-lithium alloy chassis, so it weighs a featherlight 880 g.² Superslim bezels enable a 14 inch display to fit into ExpertBook B9’s 13 inch class chassis, making it extremely compact. Slip your ExpertBook B9 into a briefcase so itʹs with you all the time for productivity in and out of the office.

Crafted to perfection

The magnesium-lithium alloy used in ExpertBook B9 is durable yet lightweight, resulting in a laptop that’s 16% lighter than the previous model.³ The chassis is methodically-crafted, undergoing a complex 21-stage process to create its tough, but exquisite, exterior.

CNC-milled for strength

To create the precision-cut lid and complex keyboard surround of ExpertBook B9, a high-precision CNC-milling process is used to shape single pieces of solid metal. This reduces unnecessary internal voids, rendering the entire chassis tougher and stronger than is possible using traditional metal-stamping methods.

First impressions count

The ASUS design team incorporated architectural elements into the design of ExpertBook B9, with precisely shaped corners and edges giving it a clean, elegant look. Star Black finish is unique too, taking inspiration from the universe and stars in the night sky to create a color that exudes both mystery and wisdom. The finish is iridescent, with tinges of red and green appearing depending on how light strikes the surface, while small shining particles embedded in the finish resemble stars. This stylish design goes against the reputation of typical business laptops being plain and boring.

Get the job done, effortlessly

No task is too great for the ultracompact ExpertBook B9: it helps you get work done as quickly and efficiently as possible. Itʹs powered by up to 11th gen Intel Core™ i7 vPro® processor with Iris Xe graphics and superfast intel Wi-Fi 6, providing quick and responsive computing, network and graphical performance with enterprise-grade manageability. It also features two SSDs to provide huge up to dual 2 TB capacity and faster speed, and supports RAID technology¹⁷ for improved data reliability or faster operation. ExpertBook B9 is also a verified Intel Evo laptop, so you can be assured it offers the very best in performance, efficiency, and connectivity.

RAID technology

RAID, or Redundant Array of Independent Disks, is a storage technology that allows multiple drives to behave as one. ExpertBook B9 supports both RAID 0 and RAID 1 levels¹⁷ for superior performance for improved data security. The former stripes data stored evenly across two drives for up to 2x faster operations.⁷ The latter, by contract, automatically creates an exact copy of all data on both disks — so if one should fail, it’s quick and easy to recover from the other.

Speed is of the essence

A high-performance PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD gives ExpertBook B9 the fastest-available consumer storage so you’ll never be kept waiting for the operating system to launch or for applications to load. And because they don’t have any moving parts, SSDs are also incredibly reliable and quiet.

Mobility without bounds

ExpertBook B9 incorporates ASUS Wi-Fi Master technology, so you’ll enjoy faster and more reliable Wi-Fi connections at greater distances than ever before. Combined with the latest Bluetooth® 5.0 that lets you connect your favorite devices with less impact on battery life, ExpertBook B9 gives you the freedom to do whatever you need, wherever you want to!

Faster

Wi-Fi 6 up to 3x faster than Wi-Fi 5⁸

Farther

Smooth FHD video streaming at distances of up to 300 meters or more⁹ with Wi-Fi Master

More stable

Up to 65-meter range, with improved stability when USB 3.1 Gen 1 interference is present⁹

Lasts longer, charges faster

ExpertBook B9 will never let you down throughout the business day or a long-haul flight. It provides all-day battery life on a single charge, aided by energy-efficient Panel Self Refresh technology. On top of that, fast-charge technology lets you recharge the battery to up to 60% capacity in as little as 39 minutes⁶, so you’re up and running in no time.

Panel Self Refresh technology

Panel Self Refresh technology relies on dedicated memory built into the LCD display panel itself. It’s used when the display is showing a static image, and saves energy by shutting down the video processor and its circuitry. This lower power consumption allows a much longer battery life.

Comprehensive connectivity with no compromise

Despite its thin profile, ExpertBook B9 is loaded with I/O ports. These include cutting-edge Thunderbolt™ 4, the next generation of the universal cable connectivity solution that offers support for the next-level USB 4 interface, 40 Gbps data transfer speeds, dual 4K display output and fast charging. The laptop also offers USB Type-A and an HDMI output, plus wired network connectivity with a unique MAC address for easy device management.

Military-grade toughness and build quality

To be strong enough for all your travels, ExpertBook B9 is solidly built with magnesium-lithium alloy and structural reinforcement for increased chassis strength. It meets next-level and industry-leading MIL-STD 810H US military tests, which is more rigorous and demanding than ever before. It also undergoes stringent in-house testing including panel-pressure, shock and drop tests to ensure durability, so there’s no need to worry about everyday knocks and bumps.¹⁶

Next-level two-way AI noise-canceling audio technology for business

To level up professional conferencing, ExpertBook B9 has AI-powered noise-canceling technology that employs sophisticated machine-learning techniques to ensure clear voice communications with minimal distraction — just like being in the room with other people. It also includes shortcut keys to enable the technology or mute the microphones with simple clicks.

Control conferencing with a simple click

ExpertBook B9 also features shortcut keys to quickly enable the AI noise-canceling technology or mute the microphones, ensuring that conferencing is slick and safe.

Immersive audio

ExpertBook B9 delivers top-notch audio, thanks to four omnidirectional far-field microphones, smart-amplifier technology and Harman/Kardon-certified speakers. The mics are located on the display’s upper bezel to ensure the optimal position to capture your voice, while the ASUS Golden Ear team worked with renowned audio experts Harman/Kardon to ensure true surround-sound cinema-quality audio.

Get to work faster with AdaptiveLock

With its smart proximity sensor ExpertBook B9 doesn’t keep you waiting. The moment you sit ASUS AdaptiveLock detects your presence and uses an integrated infrared camera to recognize your face and log you in — allowing you to get to work without lifting a finger. Then, when you step away, ExpertBook B9 automatically locks itself, protecting both your laptop and your data.
