ASUS Announces ExpertBook B7 Flip (B7402)
TAIPEI, Taiwan, September 24, 2021 — ASUS today announced ExpertBook B7 Flip (B7402), an enterprise-level, 5G-enabled premium laptop that's designed to accelerate business. Productivity on the go is easier than ever with a lightning-fast data connection that also doubles as a personal secure network, allowing everyone to work unbounded. The 360°-flippable design also eliminates traditional limits to provide immersive work environments for all business needs – so ExpertBook B7 Flip is primed to help every organization accelerate productivity, growth and success.
Faster speeds, safer connections: 5G, WiFi 6 with ASUS WiFi Master Premium and Bluetooth 5.2
ExpertBook B7 Flip supports 5G cellular data networks1 , enabling faster speeds and safer connections anywhere that work needs to be done. The increased bandwidth also means data-intensive activities — such as conference calls — can enjoy higher quality with fewer interruptions.
The ability to connect to 5G networks minimizes the need to rely on public WiFi hotspots, thus increasing on-the-go security. But ExpertBook B7 Flip does also includes the latest WiFi 6 technology, enhanced with ASUS WiFi Master Premium, for the fastest and most reliable WiFi connections anywhere.2 ,3There's also the latest Bluetooth® 5.2 for energy-efficient connections to favorite devices.
Effortless productivity and performance: Core i7, 64 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD and 12-hour battery life
ExpertBook B7 Flip is built for effortless on-the-go productivity. It's powered by up to an 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor with 64 GB of RAM and Intel Iris® Xe graphics for quick and responsive all-round performance. An up to 2 TB PCIe® SSD ensures no-wait storage performance, while the Intel WiFi 6 delivers gigabit-class speeds for faster large-file transfers and a smoother cloud-computing experience. It also delivers up to 12 hours of battery life4 , ensuring there’s enough juice to get through a full working day — and beyond.
Maximum freedom: 360° hinge, and optional ASUS Pen and 16:10 screen ratio
ExpertBook B7 Flip enables maximum freedom for working style, with its 360° hinge and optional ASUS Pen. Whether the preference is for writing or typing, in tablet or laptop mode, ExpertBook B7 Flip lets the user work just how they like, whenever and wherever they like. The handy tent, stand and tablet modes allow instant collaboration, easy content-sharing or effective presentations.
As well, the display 16:10 aspect ratio provides larger visual workspace compared to a standard 16:9 ratio, making it easier to read articles, view websites or work on spreadsheets. The anti-glare touchscreen is covered with tough Corning® glass, so durability is assured.
Optimized cooling: Advanced Hybrid Cooling System for up to 55% performance increase
To ensure the delivery of maximum performance for any task, ExpertBook B7 Flip benefits from the all-new ASUS Advanced Hybrid Cooling System, or AHCS. For starters, this sees the application of a conductive metal plate to the fan, increasing the cooling surface area by 39%. Our engineers also added a third copper heat pipe to the design, effectively adding an extra lane to the high-speed, heat-dissipation highway – enabling cooling efficiency that contributes to an increase in overall laptop performance of up to 55%.6
Immersive working: ASUS Private View, user-status indicator light and AI noise cancelation
From lid to keyboard and from hinge to touchpad, ExpertBook B7 Flip is designed to maximize productivity and comfort to ensure focused work, without distractions.
ASUS Private View provides screen privacy that protects sensitive information, while an LED light on the laptop cover offers an at-a-glance indication of the user’s status.
ASUS ExpertWidget increases productivity by allowing custom hotkeys, making it quick and easy to trigger key functions. There’s also ASUS NumberPad8 , an LED-illuminated numeric keypad incorporated in the touchpad that’s perfect for crunching numbers.
ExpertBook B7 Flip even levels up professional conferencing, with AI-powered two-way noise-canceling technology that employs sophisticated machine-learning techniques. The technology includes both an upstream function to filter noise around the speaker, and a downstream function to eliminate noise from the person at the other end of the conversation.
Military-grade durability: Reinforced chassis and more to meet MIL-STD 810H US standard
Durability is a signature quality of ExpertBook laptops. ExpertBook B7 Flip features magnesium-aluminum alloy structural reinforcement for increased chassis strength. Metal supports help reduce internal interference that can affect the 5G signal, and also strengthen the palm-rest area. For solid support of the internal structure, 16 supporting posts connect the internal fasteners to the base of the laptop.
ExpertBook B7 Flip meets the next-level MIL-STD 810H US military standards for durability, which are more rigorous and demanding than ever before. It also undergoes industry-leading in-house testing to ensure that the durability of ExpertBook B7 Flip is never compromised.
Enterprise-grade security: Infrared camera login, fingerprint sensor and TPM 2.0
ExpertBook B7 Flip comes with multi-layered enterprise-grade security to safeguard both businesses and personal information. It incorporates hardware-, firmware- and software-based protection as an assurance that sensitive data can be safely stored.
An advanced infrared camera works seamlessly with Windows Hello, enabling ExpertBook B7 Flip to both wake up and log in the user simply by detecting and identifying their face. The laptop also has a fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button.
To safeguard personal and business information from prying eyes, ExpertBook B7 Flip includes an integrated privacy shield that simply slides over the webcam for instant privacy. It also benefits from an optional Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 that chip stores passwords and encryption keys for added security, while a Kensington Nano Lock slot allows the laptop to be physically secured in unsupervised locations.

2 WiFi Master test configuration: under controlled test conditions, streaming Full HD YouTube videos, and access point set with one antenna at 802.11g. Actual WiFi range and performance may be affected by environmental factors. Interference from USB 3 devices may vary according to the device. Range comparisons refer to standard laptop with all-metal chassis design.
3 WiFi 6 is backwards compatible with prior 802.11 specs. Unless otherwise stated, all performance claims are based on theoretical performance, and the actual performance of WiFi 6 may vary in real-world situations.
4 Battery tests conducted by ASUS on August 9, 2021 using the MobileMark® 2018 Office Productivity scenario. Battery life test configuration: Intel® Core™ i5-1155G7, 24 GB RAM, 1920 x 1200 x 60 hertz display, 256 GB PCIe® 3.0 SSD, 63 Whr. Test settings: WiFi flight mode, the display brightness set to 200 cd/m2 (79%), Keyboard backlight off, Bluetooth off. 5G/SIM off. Actual battery life may vary depending on product configuration, usage, operational conditions and power management settings. Battery life will decrease over the lifetime of the battery.
5 MPP2.0 ASUS Pen sold separately.
6 Unless otherwise stated, all performance claims are based on theoretical performance. Performance testing done using Cinebench R15. When CPU is at TDP 15 W, 55% increase in performance is measured compared to Tiger Lake benchmark announced by Intel based on i7-1185G7. Testing was performed with no software modification, and at an ambient temperature at 25°C, with the laptop idle. Actual figures may vary in real-world situations.
7 ASUS Private View is available only on FHD displays. To achieve the best privacy, ASUS recommends reducing the screen brightness to 20-30% when Private View is on. Due to the Privacy Panel technology, when Private View is turned off, color saturation and brightness is reduced compared to a regular IPS panel. Note that exerting excessive force on the display panel may result in white spots when Private View is on.
8 Please note that all versions of NumberPad work only with the Microsoft Windows operating system.
9 Specifications, content and product availability are all subject to change without notice and may differ from country to country. Actual performance may vary depending on applications, usage, environment and other factors. Full specifications are available at http://www.asus.com
10 The Windows 11 upgrade will be delivered to qualifying devices during late 2021 and early 2022. Timing will vary by device. Certain features require specific hardware (see https://aka.ms/windows11-spec).
