Asus has announced the ExpertBook B3 G2, a configurable Copilot+ PC business laptop that comes in 14-inch and 16-inch versions.
The device starts at 1.41 kg for some configurations with a 180-degree hinge and a chassis that Asus says meets MIL-STD-810H durability tests.
The headline feature is support for AMD’s Ryzen AI processors, with the top configuration using the Ryzen AI 9 HX 470, which offers 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 on the HX 470 model and lower Radeon options on other CPUs.
ExpertBook B3 G2 supports up to 96 GB DDR5 memory and up to 3 TB 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 an anti-glare 144Hz 2.5K model.
Ports include USB-A, USB-C with DisplayPort 2.1 and power supply, USB4 at 40 Gbps, 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, including TPM 2.0, dual BIOS ROM, a dedicated security processor, chassis intrusion detection and cloud recovery.
Asus says its firmware security follows NIST SP 800-193 guidance, though it hasn’t claimed formal certification, and it also promises five years of BIOS and driver updates.
The laptop includes AI noise reduction for calls, plus Asus MyExpert, which offers document summarization, translation, writing tools, local and cloud search, and meeting transcripts with follow-up lists.
Some of these features are described as optional or region-dependent, so you should check what’s included before you buy.
Battery options are listed at 42Wh, 50Wh or 70Wh, and the keyboard is rated as spill-resistant up to 66cc.
No word on pricing or availability for the ExpertBook B3 G2 at the moment, but it should be available for purchase very soon.
