After announcing its intent to enter the commercial PC market in India, Asus has today launched its ‘Expert Series’ of laptops and desktops in the country for commercial users. The company says that its new series of PCs is “designed to up the professional standard of enterprise and businesses”.
This is the flagship laptop in the ExpertBook lineup of devices. The B9450FA is the lightest 14-inch business laptop in the world (per Asus), coming in at just 995 grams. It has a 14-inch frameless nane edge display with a 94% screen to body ratio. Plus, the ErgoLift hinge sets up the laptop at a more comfortable angle for typing.
For durability and security, the laptop has passed military grade certification, and comes with an integrated Trusted Platform Module 2.0 to keep business-critical data safe.
The ExpertBook P2 is yet another lightweight business laptop aimed at productivity use-cases. The laptop comes with a NanoEdge 14-inch display for a small form factor overall. In fact, it fits a 14-inch screen in the chassis of a regular 13-inch laptop.
For connectivity, you get USB Type-C ports, USB Type-A ports, RJ-45 ethernet port, microSD card reader, VGA, and HDMI ports. The ExpertBook P2 also comes with WiFi 6 for advanced networking, along with a host of business oriented security features. There’s also a webcam shield for privacy, along with fingerprint scanner support and TPM 2.0 for keeping data safe.

Asus has also launched three new desktops under the new Expert series. The ExpertCenter D8, ExpertCenter D6, and ExpertCenter D3 use Asus’ own motherboards. According to the company, “ASUS uses 100% solid capacitors for the motherboard electronics – that offer super stable peak-performance reliably over the years.”
The ExpertCenter D8 is priced starting at ₹55,429, the D6 is priced at ₹29,669, and the D3 is priced starting at ₹27,429. All of the prices are inclusive of a monitor as well.
