Business-centric design and easy repairability
ASUS ExpertBook B3 boasts a sophisticated, architecture-inspired design with a new chassis. Showcasing a 180° lay-flat hinge, it features an elegant gentle grey color finish and a sustainable design incorporating over 25% post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials. It also benefits from the innovative ASUS ExpertCool thermal solution, an enhanced cooling system that ensures consistent, optimal cooling whether the lid is open or closed — guaranteeing peak performance even during extended use.

ExpertBook B3 is designed for easy repairability and features an exceptionally user-friendly battery assembly. Offering a choice of two battery-upgrade options, B3 can be easily disassembled and reassembled because it uses just six screws for the base cover. Furthermore, it features a zero-screw quick battery disassembly design, ensuring effortless battery replacement.

Of course, ExpertBook B3 is crafted to provide exceptional user experiences. For example, the I/O ports are strategically placed to ensure an uncluttered workspace, allowing free movement of the mouse without interference from cords. In particular, the right side of B3 is kept clear to facilitate smooth mouse usage. In addition, it features videoconference shortcut keys which make managing online meetings quick and effortless. Built-in up to WiFi 6E and 5G LTE connectivity ensure users are able to keep connected, with speed and stability, wherever they go.

ExpertBook B3 features a high-comfort keyboard with full-sized keycaps to empower an unrivaled input experience — maximizing efficiency and productivity through every work day. The 14-inch (B3405) and 16-inch (B3605) 16:10 display options offer 84% and 85% screen-to-body ratios, respectively. Each display option features two-sided NanoEdge design to provide immersive and productive work experiences. Plus, B3’s display includes TÜV Rheinland eye protection technology and an anti-glare panel that minimizes reflections, ensuring vibrant visuals even in bright environments and reducing eye strain during extended use.

ExpertBook B3 also delivers exceptional sound quality, thanks to Dirac® audio technology. Additionally, its dual-array microphones effectively capture voices, ensuring clear and high-quality sound — so top-notch audio is assured for everyday business communications.
