Pros and Cons

Asus ExpertBook B9

Strengths

The laptop has an extremely elegant and solid design, with an excellent form factor and ergonomics.
It is incredibly portable, with a negligible weight that ensures supreme portability.
The battery life is very good, with a 63 Wh battery that allows for long travel days.
The wireless connectivity options are well-represented, with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.
The laptop's price of around $2000 seems fair considering its overall quality and wow factor.
It's great to see a business laptop that doesn't come with a touchscreen, making it ideal for reading and writing.

Weaknesses

The camera has poor quality, especially for a business laptop where users may be on calls for hours every day.
The physical camera switch is cumbersome to use and can smudge the lens with grease and fingerprints.
The sound system is not great, with cracked and fuzzy sound at high volumes and no bass whatsoever.
Some small imperfections like the noisy Space key are noticeable.
The NFC unlocking feature could be improved for added convenience.
Considering its price, the laptop's sound system should have been better, especially compared to other devices like smartphones.

AORUS 17H

Strengths

The combination of Intel's Core i7 13700H and the RTX 4080 laptop GPU is an incredibly well-balanced tandem.
The energy needs to perform at high-end levels are clearly being met, with combined powers of up to 195 watts capable for the cooling system.
Battery life from the 99 watt hour unit is impressive.
Build quality is good with ample sturdiness from the keyboard and trackpad.
The screen has a 360Hz refresh rate, making for smooth gaming and lesser demanding titles.
The AORUS cooling solution is clearly very competent in delivering over 170 watts of combined power.

Weaknesses

Having such high-end power hungry hardware on tap requires Cooling, which makes the laptop thick (3cm) and heavy (2.7kg).
The noise output when running heavy workloads is borderline unpleasant for those around you.
The primary Hardware pairing has downsides, with power consumption being one of them.
The laptop's design targets may not be ideal for everyone, particularly in terms of weight and thickness.
The RAM speed could be improved, especially considering the price point of £2249.
The 1080p resolution on a 17-inch display might feel a bit too slim in terms of pixel density.
