  • Next-level AI noise-canceling audio technology

    With the increase of remote work and video conferences, ASUS implemented the ASUS AI noise-canceling technology to ensure the best experience. The AI Noise-Canceling Mic feature in the MyASUS9 app effectively filters out unwanted ambient noise. There are two modes: Single-presenter mode allows the voice directly in front of the PC to be heard clearly; while Multi-presenter mode clarifies speech from different direction, ensuring optimum quality for group conference calls.

    With Wi-Fi 6 built in, ASUS ExpertBook B1 delivers faster-than-wired speeds of up to 2.4 Gbps, letting you enjoy smooth streaming of FHD online videos and large file transfers in seconds. There's also ASUS Wi-Fi Master technology to help you automatically connect to the best Wi-Fi signal, ensuring a rock-solid and stable connection wherever you are.
  • Strong data protection and privacy

    ExpertBook B1 comes with a robust security system in place to ensure confidential and private data does not leak out. These include an integrated fingerprint sensor and physical webcam shield, plus TPM 2.0 to ensure attackers don't get a behind the scenes to look at your private life. There's even an integrated Kensington lock slot, making it quick and easy to secure your ExportBook B1.
  • Military-grade toughness and build quality

    Life on the road is tough, so ExpertBook B1 is designed to both meet and surpass exacting industry thresholds - including the ultra-demanding MIL-STD 810H US military standard.
