ASUS Launches ExpertBook B3 Flip (B3402) and Expertbook B7 Flip (B7402)
Fremont, California (February 22, 2022) — ASUS today launched ExpertBook B3 Flip (B3402) and ExpertBook B7 Flip (B7402), a powerful and versatile convertible laptop designed for work and learning.
ExpertBook B3 Flip is built to embrace the new normal — hybrid working and learning. It's the best companion for teachers and students, and the perfect colleague for business users and pros. With its versatile and tough design, studying or working everywhere is no longer a dream.
On the other hand, the ExpertBook B7 Flip (B7402) is 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.
Versatility for the new normal
Built to allow safe, secure, and speedy data connections everywhere for work or learning, ExpertBook B3 Flip includes fast 4G LTE mobile data connectivity. However, the ExpertBook B7 Flip supports 5G cellular data networksi, 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.
Both also offers up to the latest WiFi 6 technology that delivers ultrafast and stable speeds for online learning and super-smooth business meetings, and which is enhanced with ASUS WiFi Master technology for faster and more reliable WiFi connections at greater distances than ever before.
Life on the road is tough, so B3 and B7 Flip are designed to both meet and surpass exacting industry durability standards — including the ultra-demanding MIL-STD 810H US military standardii. It’s built to survive every extreme, from freezing temperatures to the searing heat of desert storms, and from high-speed shocks to everyday bumps. It also undergoes stringent and industry-leading in-house testing, including panel-pressure, shock and drop tests for an assurance of serious durability. The keyboard is reinforced with an internal bracket, and it also has a water-resistant layer that can cope with liquid spillages of up to 330 cc without harmiii.
Full protection and optimized cooling
To keep ExpertBook B3 Flip hygienic, the keyboard, touchpad, and palm rest are all protected with ASUS Antibacterial Guard antibacterial treatment. This has been scientifically shown by the internationally-recognized ISO 22196 standard to inhibit the growth of bacteria by in excess of 99% over a 24-hour period. ASUS Antibacterial Guard is also made to withstand alcohol-based cleaning products and hypochlorous acid wateriv, so it's easy to keep the surface of B3 Flip clean and sanitary — limiting the spread of harmful bacteria.
B3 Flip’s two-sided, slim-bezel, multitouch screen provides intuitive input for modern learning and working experiences. The display is also certified by TÜV Rheinland for low blue-light emissions, so users can study or work without worrying about their eyes being harmed by blue light.
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%.v
Built for work or learning
The powerful ExpertBook B3 Flip and ExpertBook B7 ensures smooth multimedia learning and makes light work of all business tasks, courtesy of its up to 11th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor and Intel Iris® Xe graphics, which deliver quick and responsive computing with lively graphics performance. It also features onboard memory and a SO-DIMM slot for upgrading memory up to 32 GB — so it’s ready for everything, now or in the future.
To level up remote learning and professional conferencing, B3 and B7 Flip has two-way AI 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.
Video-conferencing and remote-learning experiences are also enhanced by the innovative 3D noise-reduction (3DNR) technology on B3 Flip's webcam. This reduces up to 94% of the random noise that naturally affects any cameravi, especially in low-light situations, greatly enhancing image quality without affecting exposure or detail levels.
ASUS Private Viewvii 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 for the ExpertBook B7 Flip. ASUS ExpertWidget increases productivity by allowing custom hotkeys, making it quick and easy to trigger key functions. There’s also ASUS NumberPadviii, an LED-illuminated numeric keypad incorporated in the touchpad that’s perfect for crunching numbers.
