KEY POINTS
• AI-powered collaboration and productivity: Ready for modern business professionals, with up to Intel® Core™ Ultra processor and Intel’s AI architecture
• Enterprise-grade security and manageability: Convenient and robust multi-factor authentication, plus intuitive ASUS IT-management solutions for business
• Expertly crafted for mobile multitasking: Ultralight 1.29 kg metal chassis with military-grade strength, long battery life, WiFi 7 and 4G, plus latest connectivity
TAIPEI, Taiwan, December 14, 2023 — ASUS today announced the 14-inch and 16-inch ExpertBook B5 (B5404 and B5604), an ultralight, AI-ready marvel that combines the latest up to Intel® Core™ Ultra processors and discrete NVIDIA® graphics1, ushering in a new era of productivity, plus a taller 16:10 display for deeper immersion, with optional touchscreen functionality.
With AI-powered features like an intelligent camera and noise cancelation plus and seamless WiFi 72 and 4G LTE connectivity, ExpertBook B5 ensures that everyday business is smarter, faster and smoother. Security is also paramount, with biometric login, SSD with RAID 0/1 support3 and an optional smart card reader for enterprise-grade protection. From top to bottom, inside and out, ExpertBook B5 is expertly crafted for effective, enjoyable work — making it the perfect on-the-go companion for mobile professionals to multitask confidently.
AI-powered collaboration and productivity
ExpertBook B5 has always been designed for business professionals to ensure maximum productivity in the modern office — and the new model builds on that enviable track record. Powered by the up to latest Intel Core Ultra processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 2050 discrete graphics, it provides high-performance capabilities for running resource-intensive software and handling visual workloads.
ExpertBook B5 delivers frictionless AI experiences with the best compatibility right from the get-go, leveraging Intel's powerful AI architecture and ecosystem for intelligent performance and cutting-edge security. The resulting experience enables modern business professionals to tackle more complex workloads, enhance productivity and enjoy seamless multitasking and smoother collaboration.
The new laptop also integrates both an AI-powered camera and noise cancelation to enhance the overall user experience, ensuring uninterrupted meetings and optimized audiovisuals. Motion-tracking technology automatically keeps the user’s face centered and adjusts focus, eliminating the annoyance of having to adjust the camera mid-chat. Both image quality and brightness are also enhanced automatically. Simultaneously, the two-way AI noise-canceling technology employs sophisticated machine-learning techniques to filter sound around the speaker and eliminate noise from the person at the other end of the conversation — so virtual chats feel as natural as being in the same room.
For fluid productivity with an expanded vision, the new ExpertBook B5 benefits from a slim-bezel touchscreen display with a 16:10 aspect ratio. Compatible with the ASUS Pen and other MPP 2.0 styluses, this provides busy professionals with more room to work and an easy way to create, annotate documents or jot down ideas.
Enterprise-grade security and manageability
ExpertBook B5 is made for business and equipped with multiple design features and technologies to maximize security and ease IT administration, and seamless remote-work experiences.
The inclusion of multiple log-in options, including an integrated fingerprint sensor, optional IR camera for face login and optional smart card reader provides both convenience and robust multi-factor authentication and means organizations — and especially small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) — can enjoy enhanced security without worrying about data breaches. ExpertBook B5 is also easy to maintain and upgrade, with dual SO-DIMM and support for up to 64 GB DDR5 RAM.
Businesses choosing ExpertBook B5 also benefit from the extensive range of management solutions on offer from ASUS. These include the ASUS Endpoint Management Service (AEMS) for driver updates, centralized management and security-management services; and the ASUS Pre-Deployment Service (APDS), which simplifies the deployment process — from device registration and image building to pre-configuration and enrolment — to make things easier and faster for IT staff, enabling them to focus on their core activities.4
This comprehensive approach ensures users experience heightened security and easy upgradeability, making the ExpertBook B5 an ideal choice for everyday productivity and secure work, both in the office and on the go.
Expertly crafted for mobile multitasking
ExpertBook B5 embodies mobility with an ultralight all-metal chassis that’s as light as 1.29 kg5 and just 1.89 cm thin, so it’s travel wherever business needs to happen. This sustainably-crafted design is also imbued with military-grade strength, to meet the ultra-demanding MIL-STD 810H US military standard. It also undergoes thorough in-house testing by ASUS — including panel-pressure, shock and drop tests — to ensure superior durability and reliability.6
The new laptop is driven by a capacious battery that that keeps the productivity going throughout the working day. It also has support for fast-charging technology, so topping up the battery is satisfyingly swift. The latest WiFi 7 technology enables ultrafast wireless connections, extended range, rock-solid reliability, even in crowded areas, and wider spectrum for speedier throughput and reduced interference. There’s even optional 4G LTE support for anywhere connectivity, ensuring seamless connectivity between workplaces.
ExpertBook B5 is also packed with the latest connectivity, including two Thunderbolt™ 4 USB-C™ ports, HDMI® 2.1, and an optional smart card reader. It also benefits from a physical nano-SIM card slot, plus offers support for eSIM subscriptions.

1 Intel Core Ultra processors and NVIDIA discrete graphics are available on selected models only. Availability varies by country and region.
2 WiFi 7 network card is available on selected models.
3 The same device will offer differing levels of available storage depending on the chosen RAID level. If RAID 0 is used, the system combines the capacity of all SSDs in order to enhance data-transfer speeds. The available storage will equal the combined physical capacity of all the SSDs on the device. However, if the device is configured with RAID 1, two copies of the data are saved simultaneously in order to protect your data if one SSD fails. As a result, the available storage capacity will be half of the combined physical storage capacity, as half the storage is used for backup copies. For example, a device with two 1 TB SSDs in a RAID 0 configuration will have 2 TB of available storage capacity, but with RAID 1 the available storage capacity will be 1 TB.
4 ASUS Endpoint Management Service (AEMS) and ASUS Pre-Deployment Service (APDS) are optional and their availability varies according to country. Please check with your local ASUS retailer for details.
5 1.29 kg weight based on 50 Wh battery and standard (non-touchscreen) display. Weight and thickness may vary according to configuration.
6 The testing regime includes the requirements of both military-grade standards and ASUS quality tests, and varies depending on device. MIL-STD-810H testing is conducted on selected ASUS products only. Note that the MIL-STD-810H testing helps to ensure the quality of ASUS products but does not indicate a particular fitness for military use. The test is performed under laboratory conditions. Any damage caused by attempts to replicate these test conditions would be considered accidental, and would not be covered by the standard ASUS warranty. Additional coverage is available with ASUS Premium Care.
