With its unique Star Black finish, the new ASUS ExpertBook B9 has an understated but sleek aesthetic. Housed in a chassis milled from magnesium-lithium alloy, the ASUS ExpertBook B9 is tougher yet more lightweight than previous magnesium-alloy models, with a 14.9mm thin profile and weighing in at a mere 870 grams.
The ASUS ExpertBook B9’s sound system is also optimized by Harman Kardon, with down-firing speakers that benefit from signal processing to make adaptive adjustments over time, improving clarity and filtering out noise. For data-intensive workloads, the ASUS ExpertBook B9 is also the first business laptop to include the exclusive ASUS NumberPad 2.0 technology, an LED-illuminated numeric keypad built into the touchpad.
Top-tier performance
The ASUS ExpertBook B9 gets its performance chops from its 10th generation Intel Core processors, up to 16GB of LPDDR3 memory, as many as two 2TB M.2 SSDs in its dual PCIe 3.0 x4 slots, and next-gen Wi-Fi 6 networking.
When at a desk, the ASUS ExpertBook B9 makes it easy to increase productivity via support for an external monitor through the full-sized HDMI port on the laptop’s left side. Two adjacent Thunderbolt 3 ports support display connectivity as well, along with fast-charging and external storage. There’s even an Ethernet interface, accessible through a physical micro-HDMI port, on the same edge, for workplaces that require a wired connection for IT management or simply for situations in which wireless network connections are weaker.
Professional-grade durability and security
The ASUS ExpertBook B9 is equipped with robust military-grade durability, surviving numerous MIL-STD-810G laboratory procedures including drop tests, shock tests, vibration tests, high temperatures, low temperatures, days of 95% humidity, and hours of sand and dust exposure.

ASUS ProArt StudioBook One
Worldʹs most graphically powerful laptop – first and only RTX 6000 laptop
To date, ASUS ProArt StudioBook One is the only laptop to feature NVIDIA Quadro RTX 6000 graphics with 24GB of VRAM and comes with a 9th generation Intel Core i9 processor.
The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 6000 GPU provides more CUDA, RT, and Tensor cores to enable real-time viewing of environmental shading and light effects, with an ultrasmooth and ultrafast rendering of animations, effortless video editing, and efficient data crunching.
True to life colors
The 4K UHD PANTONE Validated display on ASUS ProArt StudioBook One is truly amazing, boasting edge-to-edge Corning Gorilla Glass 5 that sits flush with the bezels. Its 84% screen-to-body ratio provides immersive visuals, while the wide 100% Adobe RGB color gamut and Delta E value of less than 1.0 ensure exceptional color reproduction and accuracy.
Clever thermal design
ASUS ProArt StudioBook One has a powerful cooling system featuring a lightweight, aerospace grade titanium-alloy thermal module designed to optimize inlet and exhaust flow. All heat generating components, including the CPU, GPU, and thermal systems are located in the lid to ensure comfortable use, even when placed on the user’s lap. When the laptop is opened, the outer cover of the lid opens automatically by 4.57° to aid cooling.
ProArt StudioBook Pro X
Always up to the task
ASUS ProArt StudioBook Pro X delivers extreme performance, with professional‑grade NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 graphics to allow users to edit and render multilayered files easily, and 9th Generation Intel Xeon or Intel Core i7 Hexa-core processors to handle complex multithreaded applications. The RAID 0 setup spreads data across multiple drives to enhance data read/write performance, so the system and apps boot up in an instant.
True‑to‑life colors
ProArt StudioBook Pro X is also the first Quadro laptop to feature the four‑sided ASUS NanoEdge display with a 92% screen‑to‑body ratio. The 16:10 aspect, PANTONE® Validated panel provides 25% more onscreen working area compared to a standard 16:9 aspect ratio display, so itʹs able to accommodate the top and bottom toolbars found on most creative apps. Together with a wide 97% DCI‑P3 color gamut and Delta‑E color accuracy of less than 1.5, users are guaranteed immersive visuals and exceptional colors.
Streamlined workflows
ASUS ProArt StudioBook Pro X is the first in the series to feature ASUS ScreenPad 2.0. This interactive secondary touchscreen upgrades the traditional laptop experience, providing users with an intuitive smartphone-like interface on which they can easily manage tasks and create their own seamless multitasking creative workflows.
Toolbars and reference files can be moved down to ScreenPad, allowing for more usable screen area on the display, while keeping the necessary tools and functions in view.
Connectivity to suit any setup
ASUS ProArt StudioBook Pro X can support up to three external displays via its HDMI 2.0 and two USB Type-C™ (USB-C™) ports with Thunderbolt™ 3 support. These ports are joined by three USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A ports, so there’s plenty of connectivity for thumb drives, external storage, and peripherals without the need for USB hubs.
In addition, ASUS ProArt StudioBook Pro X features gigabit Ethernet and a high-speed SD card reader (SD 4.0 / UHS-II) for memory cards.
ISV Certified – ASUS ProArt StudioBook One and ASUS ProArt StudioBook Pro X
For creatives, software is key. That’s why ASUS tests and invests in comprehensive Independent Software Vendor (ISV) certification processes to ensure users enjoy the very best experience with professional software applications.

Unrivaled performance for content creators
ASUS ProArt StudioBook Pro 15 features NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 Max-Q graphics, while ASUS ProArt StudioBook 15 has GeForce RTX 2060 graphics. Though they cater to different types of creators, both models deliver exceptional performance, easily tackling graphics-intensive tasks such as 3D rendering, video editing, and content creation.

The 9th generation Intel Core i7 processors that power ASUS ProArt StudioBook Pro 15 and ASUS ProArt StudioBook 15 deliver incredibly smooth and responsive multitasking performance to take mobile computing to the next level.
Exceptional colors and crisp visuals
Artists, photographers, and designers will appreciate the PANTONE Validated display with its 100% Adobe RGB color space and Delta E < 1.5 color accuracy. Delta E measures the amount of change in the visual perception of two colors, and a low value such as 1.5 is essential for creative professionals as it ensures that colors seen onscreen are as true to life as possible. The 4K UHD panels used in ASUS ProArt StudioBook Pro 15 and ASUS ProArt StudioBook 15 deliver four times the resolution of FHD for crisper, more detailed imagery.
ISV certification and superfast connectivity
The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 Max-Q in ASUS ProArt StudioBook Pro 15 is ISV certified, ensuring it works as expected with professional applications from the worldʹs leading software providers like Adobe and Autodesk.
ASUS ProArt StudioBook Pro 15 and ASUS ProArt StudioBook 15 also feature Intel Wi-Fi 6 for faster than wired speeds of up to 2.4 Gbps for smooth streaming of 4K UHD videos and ultrafast large file transfers.
ASUS ProArt StudioBook Pro 17 (W700) and StudioBook 17 (H700)
https://www.asus.com/ph/Laptops/ProArt-StudioBook-Pro-17-W700G3T/
Large NanoEdge display in a 15 inch chassis
Leveraging on the thin bezel NanoEdge display design, ASUS ProArt StudioBook Pro 17 and ASUS ProArt StudioBook 17 fit a 17 inch, 16:10 aspect-ratio display into a 15-inch class body. The panel itself has a 97% DCI-P3 wide color gamut — the preferred standard color space for video and film professionals. The display is also PANTONE® Validated to ensure the colors on-screen are completely accurate.
Each panel is factory calibrated to a Delta-E color accuracy value of less than 1.5, which matches the specifications for ASUS ProArt monitors and actually exceeds the PANTONE requirement
Unmatched performance for demanding workloads.
Design, 3D rendering, simulations, or complex scientific calculations require peak performance, so ASUS ProArt StudioBook Pro 17 and ASUS ProArt StudioBook 17 can be specified with Intel Xeon or Core i7 processors, and NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q or GeForce RTX 2060 graphics. The Intel Xeon E-2276M CPU features 6 cores and 12 threads with a maximum Turbo frequency of 4.4 GHz.
Both models support up to 64 GB of RAM, and the Intel Xeon E-2276M-powered ASUS ProArt StudioBook Pro 17 comes with the option of ECC memory. For high-performance storage, both models support two PCIe SSDs in a CPU-attached RAID0 setup.
Stay cool for peak performance
The slim 18.4 mm chassis features underside vents that span the full width of the laptops’ base to improve airflow. In addition, five heat pipes draw heat away from the CPU, GPU and VRM, directing them to the sides and rear of the laptop, while the curved shrouds on each of the two fans channel more air into them. This thermal solution keeps throttling at bay even at full CPU loads, and runs at a whisper-quiet 35 dB.
Portable and lightweight
ASUS ProArt StudioBook Pro 17 and ASUS ProArt StudioBook 17 measure just 382 x 286 x 18.4 mm, making them the thinnest Quadro RTX or GeForce RTX laptops available. The Star Grey aluminum finish is precision engraved at a 45° angle to give a textured finish to the lid and palm rest. The squared-off edges provide a professional look and feel extremely solid.
At 2.39 kg, these laptops are light enough to be stored in a backpack or briefcase.
Improvements on day-to-day tasks
The backlit keyboard features 1.4 mm of key travel for comfortable typing and uses textured arrow keys that are easy to find by feel. Shortcut keys improve efficiency, while a camera hotkey turns the HD webcam on and off. Tap on the right corner of the touchpad activates the discreet NumberPad, an illuminated digital keypad that makes light work of inputting numbers or calculations.
