The entire ExpertBook range comes standard with the following features:

According to Asus, the B2 model will be targeted toward SMEs and sectors within government— with its main attraction being the device’s flexible configuration options.

Additionally, the B2 will offer 5G connectivity, an optional smart card reader, biometric scanning capabilities, and a TPM 2.0 security chip.
