Asus new ExpertBook B2 to launch in South Africa

Asus announced that it will be launching a new addition to its commercial laptop series called the ExpertBook B2, which will be available in South Africa.

The announcement was made during a media event held at the Johannesburg Country Club.

The company’s ExpertBook range includes the B2, B3, B5, B7, and B9 — each tailored to various industries such as government, education, executive, and finance.

The entire ExpertBook range comes standard with the following features:

• Two-way AI noise-cancelling software — providing clear audio for virtual meetings.
• ASUS anti-bacterial guard — a chemical coating that will last for the device’s lifetime.
• US Military-grade construction —  made to withstand knocks, drops, and frequent use in the office.
• Wi-Fi Master — ensures that the device is consistently connected to the fastest internet source.

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.

These include Intel’s latest 12th Gen Intel CPUs (up to i7), up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM, and up to a 2TB hard drive and 2TB solid-state drive.

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

The retail price for the ExpertBook B2 is yet to be confirmed as well as proper availability dates.
