ASUS ExpertBook B9400 Review

The ASUS ExpertBook B9400 is designed for professionals. It sports the form factor and capabilities of a modern laptop with a sleek and stylish design.

Its slim chassis is made from magnesium-lithium alloy, making it a “featherlight” business laptop able to withstand minor falls or bumps.

Again, they over-use of the word professional. This is not the type of laptop someone who's job relies on the capabilities of their laptop. Its only suitable for a very small subset of professionals, like those in executive, or sales jobs that require a lot of travel. For the other 90% of professionals, it's not suitable.

It's too thin, gimping the performance. Sleek and stylish don't feature on the requirements list of a photographer, video editor, developer, IT administrator, graphic designer, etc. And a 16.9 screen, REALLY? At least, it's not a stupid resolution for its size.

I would say this is a business ultraportable.

Most professionals would be better served by a Thinkpad T14(amd), Dell Latitude or even a M1 Macbook (best to wait for more powerful models).

Battery and expansion​

The first thing that goes through your mind when handling the laptop is its weight. Weighing at under a kilogram (880g), it is astonishing how ASUS managed to fit a 66kWh battery in this machine.

I wish I could get a 66kWh battery for my laptop, it'll probably last a month
