@@BsianTech Laptop is very light, maybe too light for my taste. Battery life is decent. performance is excellent for everyday tasks, like web browsing, document editing, watching videos from streaming services (YT, netflix); 4k video playback (youtube) works without any problem, with little impact on CPU. Touchpad is excellent; almost at the same level as in my macbook air M1. I, like yourself, am also fan of Thinkpad keyboards. Keyboard in this Asus machine isn't as good as in Thinkpad, but good enough. Overall, great little machine.
@@gwojcieszczuk Is it realistic/comfortable to work with Asus B9 for a few hours while sitting on the couch (with the laptop on your legs)? How do you compare this laptop to your Macbook Air M1 overall (regardless the software, of course)? I am using Macbook Air M1 personally (used Asus Zenbooks for many years before), now looking for a light Windows laptop with IPS screen (strictly not OLED ones due to PWM) for my wife. Trying to asess whether Expertbook B9 is the one. Many thanks in advance for your feedback.
some time ago we bought Lenovo for the company but had to find out that some components (the mouse pad) was not supported anymore after a forced windows update. I had to find out that Lenovo has used a no-name mousepad from an unknown chinese producer. I had to through the notebook away because it could not be fixed. This is the reason I prefer ASUS because they normally brand components which are supported through updates.
Thanks @Nhat Minh Le, was happy to assist with the decision. Each laptop suits different needs and also place as well as previous experience. It's great we get choice. I think Asus have made very competitive product in this category as well as demonstrating we don't need to lose IO ports for this category too.
@@BsianTech Yeah, it is a very nice laptop indeed. Decided to purchased the asus for my wife instead, as she doesn't like the Thinkpad aesthetic. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for this review. I bought this pc. I wanted to know if the startup time is fast ?. My pc takes 14 seconds to turn on. With intel evo certification it's too much boot time !. It's normal?
A lot of people and myself included at the start thinking the heat from the exhaust could damage the display over years of hot temperatures but after experiencing thousands of laptops and different model over many years with the exhaust designed behind the display hinge I haven't had to put a warranty call for a direct display damage due to warm/hot temperatures. What normally fails is the display cable which connects the display to the system board (this is usually a very cheap part).
It is pretty decent and I am enjoying seeing the 1kg weight class category laptops get expanded as well as opening my eyes to different things. Good laptop for sure.
Watching it on Asus Expertbook B9400. Your video was essential in making my purchase decision. Thank you.
Great to hear and how has the experience been for you? It would be useful feedback to other viewers.

Nice video. After asking you in the previous video I decided to go with the x1 nano instead. Only thing I dislike about the X1 is the ports selection

Nice one! Keep it up love your reviews 👍
Do you plan to review Lenovo yoga pros and slim with Ryzen? 👌👌👌 Love your job!
The company claimed that the battery lasts for 23 hours, may be in idle state
When will it launch?
Thx for this bro nice
Very welcome @Masanyu Queen, hopefully somewhat useful for you.

Is it BOTH RAM and SSD upgradable by the user? Has it a full aluminum case, both outside and inside?
Non upgradable RAM, idk about SSD
What about the ventilation and heat that goes towards the screen? Can it cause damage in time?

why ASUS claimed that the battery lasts for 17 hours? O.o
that's weird
Noice laptop

Another example of so-so poor thermal management as my opinion.
Do bare in mind they are quite thin laptop, so something I expected.
