Sometimes when I see systems like this ASUS ExpertBook B9 OLED, I can’t help but think that, despite the fact that in principle they are aimed at a specific user profile, in reality this is singularly broader than one might think at first. And it is that, as a general rule, when we talk about computers for the professional market, we tend to think of companies, but the truth is that any of us, if we use the PC to carry out important tasks, be they work or of another nature, and we need great reliability, they also fit our demand like a glove.
That is precisely what I was referring to with the title of this news item, to the virtuous intersection, a space where the needs of different user profiles come together, all of them with the common denominator of needing a device in which reliability and security are key elements. From workers in large corporations to freelancers and liberal professionals, this ASUS ExpertBook B9 OLED is a more than safe bet.
The first thing that stands out about this laptop is its design. Manufactured from an alloy of magnesium and lithium, we find a design that is, at the same time, attractive, light and very resistant. Proof of this is its weight, of only 990 gramsand his MIL-STD 810H military grade certification, a certification that accredits that the devices can be used in mission-critical functions in unfavorable conditions with security. Not surprisingly, it is a very common certification in the aerospace industry. And all this without neglecting the sensitivity during its production with respect to the environment.
With our eyes already set on its specifications, as soon as we open it we will find its 14-inch OLED display with WQXGA+ (2,880 x 1,800) resolution in a 16:10 aspect ratio. In this regard, this ASUS ExpertBook B9 OLED reproduces the good work that we have previously seen in other devices with ASUS OLED screens, which knows how to get the most out of this technology, offering a very vivid representation of color, while protecting the view by reducing blue light emissions.
Once inside, we will find 13th generation Intel Core Core i7 vPro processors, that is, the most current proposal from Intel, with specific functions to guarantee security. The Intel vPro platform is targeted at professional users, and its built-in security features help mitigate major threats while providing a secure environment for identity and access protection, as well as data and resource protection. In addition, for use in companies, they have been specially designed to substantially reduce the workload of IT departments.
The ASUS ExpertBook B9 OLED also features the intel evo certification, a standard defined by the technological giant that accredits its autonomy, performance, efficiency and connectivity, fundamental aspects for any user with mobility needs. Thus, according to the manufacturer, this equipment is capable of providing up to 11 hours of autonomy on a single charge, a period that allows us to carry out a full working day without having to worry about looking for a plug.
The processor accompanies up to 64 gigabytes of LPDDR5 RAM and up to two terabytes of NVMe SSD storageso we will have, at the same time, a reliable and efficient device, but that will also provide us with a performance that is up to the rest of the equipment’s aspects.
Connectivity is also an important aspect in the ASUS ExpertBook B9 OLED. In the wireless section we find Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 (the most current versions of both technologies), along with two Thunderbolt 4 ports with USB Power Delivery 3.0 support, a USB 3.2 Type-A port, an HDMI 2.1 connector integrated in the daisy chain with Thunderbolt 4 ports (allowing you to connect up to three external displays with 4K resolution), and an audio combo minijack.
Regarding the security functions implemented in the device itself, that is, those that are complementary to those provided by the operating system and the applications installed on it, we find the following:
- Hard drive user security and password protection
- Computrace prepared from BIOS
- Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0
- BIOS setup user password
- Windows Hello compatible IR webcam
- Fingerprint sensor
- Nano Kensington security slot.
The inclusion in the ASUS ExpertBook B9 OLED of a sfingerprint sensortogether with IR webcam, guarantees a high level of reliability in biometric identification, and this is now more interesting than ever. Because? Because now that the deployment of passkeys by the main technology companies has begun, the use of biometric identification to prove identity when logging in is going to become very important in the short and medium term.
Every design element of this ASUS ExpertBook B9 OLED has been carefully considered. From the size of its touchpad, which has grown by 26.8% over the previous generation to provide a much more comfortable working experience, to its cooling system based on a double fanwhich lowers system temperatures by up to 27%, reduces noise by up to 32% and reduces energy consumption.
Another very important aspect of this system is that it contemplates the communication needs of professionals today, more specifically video-meetings and videoconferences. For this purpose, in addition to his ASUS AiSense webcam with FullHD (1,920 x 1,080) resolution with security lock, and which integrates technologies to maximize sharpness, reduce noise (artifacts), automatically frame and blur the background, it also has advanced intelligence-based active noise cancellation technology artificial. that acts in both directions, both in the audio signal that we send and in the one that we receive.
As I indicated at the beginning, and you will have been able to verify, this ASUS ExpertBook B9 OLED is a proposal aimed at professionals, but in the broadest sense of the term, something that undoubtedly deserves to be considered a virtue.
