ASUS has unveiled the latest expansion of its Expert series of laptops at IFA 2022. Expanding its focus on business laptops, the new models include the first mobile workstation in the Expert series, as well as the lightest 16-inch laptop to date.

The ExpertBook B5 and B5 Flip have been redesigned from previous generations. As the name suggests, the B5 Flip’s display flips all the way around. The screen is a 16-inch display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and features a “garage stylus” that provides another input mode for the computer. The stylus can be charged when stowed, and is also capable of 45 minutes of use in a 15-second charge. Inside, the B5 Flip houses a 12th Gen Intel vPro chip with up to an i7 processor, up to 40GB of RAM, Intel Arc A350M graphics, WiFi 6E and RAID support.

Similar to the B5 Flip, the ExpertBook B5 offers a 16-inch display with a 16:10 aspect ratio. The B5 is Asus’ lightest 16-inch laptop to date, weighing in at just under 1.5kg. ASUS also offers an OLED model of the B5 with 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, 12th Gen Intel vPro chips, up to i7 processors, up to 40GB RAM, Intel Arc A350M graphics, WiFi 6E and RAID support, just Like its B5 Flip counterpart.
ExpertBook B6 Flip Cover
ASUS says the ExpertBook B6 Flip is a true mobile workstation, designed for those who need extra functionality in a business computer, and the target market includes architects, engineers and product designers.
The device also has a 16-inch display that is fully touchscreen and flips – meaning it can be used as a computer, tent or tablet. The screen can be upgraded to miniLED, with a brightness boost to 1,000 nits and an NVIDIA RTX A2000 8GB graphics card. According to people familiar with the matter, the B6 Flip can be equipped with up to an Intel Core i9 processor, up to 128GB of DDR5 RAM and up to 4TB of storage, all while staying cool with an integrated premium cooling.
For creative users, ASUS has partnered with ISVs to fully certify devices in software such as 3ds Max, MicroStation, Vectorworks, and more. All new devices will be available in the fourth quarter of 2022, with pricing to be determined.
