The device starts at 1.41kg for some configurations, with a 180-degree hinge and a chassis that Asus says meets MIL-STD-810H durability testing.
The headline feature is support for AMD’s Ryzen AI processors, with the top configuration using the Ryzen AI 9 HX 470, offering 12 cores, 24 threads, boost clocks up to 5.2 GHz, and a 55 TOPS NPU for on-device AI functions.

Asus pairs the processor with AMD Radeon 890M graphics in the HX 470 model and lower-end Radeon options in other CPUs.
ExpertBook B3 G2 supports up to 96GB of DDR5 memory and up to 3TB of PCIe 4.0 SSD storage, using M.2 2280/M.2 2230 slots.
Display options include WUXGA panels and higher resolution 2560 x 1600 options, including a 144Hz 2.5K anti-glare model.
Ports include USB-A, USB-C with DisplayPort 2.1 and Power Delivery, USB4 at 40Gbps, HDMI 2.1, a 3.5mm combo jack, and an RJ45 LAN port. A nano lock is included.
Wireless options include Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7, plus Bluetooth 5.4, depending on configuration.
On the security side, Asus is pushing its ExpertGuardian stack, which includes TPM 2.0, dual BIOS ROM, a dedicated security processor, chassis intrusion detection, and cloud recovery.
Asus says its firmware security follows the NIST SP 800-193 guide, although it hasn’t claimed formal certification, and also promises five years of BIOS and driver updates.
The laptop includes AI noise cancellation for calls, as well as Asus MyExpert, which offers document summary, translation, writing tools, local and cloud search, and meeting transcripts with watchlists.
Some of those features are described as optional or region-dependent, so you’ll want to check what’s included before purchasing.
Battery options are listed at 42Wh, 50Wh, or 70Wh, and the keyboard has a spill-resistant rating of up to 66cc.
There’s no word on pricing or availability of the ExpertBook B3 G2 at the moment, but it should be available for purchase very soon.
