ASUS unveiled its latest expansion to the Expert Series notebook lineup at IFA 2022.
Looking to expand its business notebook offering, the new models include the first mobile workstation in the Expert line, as well as its lightest 16-inch notebook to date.
The new ExpertBook B5 and ExpertBook B5 Flip, as well as the ExpertBook B6 Flip mobile workstation, are powered by 12th Gen Intel Core processors, EPEAT Gold and Energy Star certified, and can even include a TPM 2.0 chip for leading security in the industry at the enterprise level.
ExpertBook B5 Flip
ExpertBook B5 and B5 Flip have been redesigned compared to previous generations. As the name suggests, the B5 Flip sports a screen capable of fully rotating.
The display is a 16-inch screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio and features a "garage stylus" that allows for an alternate input mode for the computer. This stylus charges when stored and also has the ability to get 45 minutes of use from a 15 second charge.
Inside, the B5 Flip houses a 12th Gen Intel vPro chip, with up to an i7 processor, up to 40GB of RAM with Intel Arc A350M graphics, WiFi 6E, and RAID support.

Similar to the B5 Flip, the ExpertBook B5 offers a 16-inch screen with an aspect ratio of 16:10. The B5 is ASUS's lightest 16-inch laptop to date, weighing in at just under 1,5kg.
ASUS also offers the B5 in an OLED model, with 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, and is also available with 12th Gen Intel vPro chips, with up to an i7 processor, up to 40GB RAM with Intel Arc graphics A350M, WiFi 6E and RAID support, like its B5 Flip counterpart.
ExpertBook B6 Flip
ASUS says the ExpertBook B6 Flip is a true mobile workstation designed for those who need more power in a business PC, with architects, engineers, and product designers among the target markets.
This device also has a 16-inch full-touch flip screen, which means it can be used as a computer, tent, or tablet. The screen can be upgraded to a miniLED that increases brightness to 1,000 nits, powered by up to 2000GB NVIDIA RTX A8 graphics cards. Insider, the B6 Flip can be powered by an Intel Core i9 processor, up to 128GB of DDR5 RAM, and up to 4TB of storage, all while staying cool with advanced integrated thermal features.
For creative users, ASUS has worked with ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) to fully certify the device on software from 3ds Max, MicroStation, Vectorworks, and more.
All new devices are available now, with prices to be confirmed.
