Asus has used Computex 2026 to push its ExpertBook line further into ”do-everything” territory with the ExpertBook B5 Flip G2 (B5406FMA), a 14-inch business laptop that turns into a tablet, stores its own stylus, and adds a second camera for shooting documents and images from awkward angles. It is aimed at people who want one Windows machine to cover meetings, notes, sketching, and a bit of classroom or field work without dragging around extra hardware.
The Asus ExpertBook B5 Flip G2 is also leaning hard into AI-ready specs, ruggedness, and privacy features, which is exactly where business laptops have been drifting as Intel, Lenovo, and HP all keep stuffing more corporate-friendly extras into their premium models.
ExpertBook B5 Flip G2 display and 360-degree design
The ExpertBook B5 Flip G2 uses a 14-inch NanoEdge touchscreen with a 16:10 aspect ratio, 400 nits of brightness and an 84 percent screen-to-body ratio. Its 360-degree hinge lets it move between laptop, tablet, tent and display modes, which is standard convertible fare – but the included MPP 2.0 stylus, stored inside the chassis, is the part that makes the whole package feel more deliberate than decorative.
Asus says a 15-second charge can provide up to 60 minutes of stylus use. That is a neat little spec for people who actually annotate documents instead of pretending they will.
Intel Core 7 Series 3 and AI-ready hardware
Under the hood, Asus is offering up to an Intel Core 7 Series 3 processor, Intel graphics and an NPU rated for up to 18 TOPS for AI-assisted tasks. Memory can go up to 32GB LPDDR5X, while storage tops out at 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD.
- Processor: up to Intel Core 7 Series 3
- Memory: up to 32GB LPDDR5X
- Storage: up to 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD
- Battery: 63Wh with rapid charging support
The 63Wh battery and rapid charging support should help it survive a workday, though this is now table stakes in premium business machines. The real separator is less raw power than whether buyers care more about portability, touch input and AI labels than about chasing the thinnest chassis on the shelf.
Dual cameras and business-grade security
One of the stranger-but-useful features is the dual-camera setup. Asus includes a 1080p FHD+IR front camera for video calls and an optional 5-megapixel world-facing camera for capturing documents and images in tablet or tent mode, with physical privacy shutters on both cameras. That kind of second lens is still rare enough to feel a little niche, but it makes sense for educators, inspectors and anyone who keeps lifting the laptop to point it at things.
Connectivity is straightforward and fairly generous: dual Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, HDMI 2.1, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, Wi-Fi 7 and an audio combo jack. Asus also lists TPM 2.0, a NIST SP 800-193-compliant BIOS, an optional fingerprint scanner and Windows 11 secured-core technologies, all wrapped in an aluminium chassis that weighs around 1.34kg and is 14.9mm thick while meeting MIL-STD-810H durability standards.
ExpertBook B5 Flip G2 price and release window
Asus has not announced pricing yet, which is usually corporate-speak for ”expect the bill to arrive later”. The company says the ExpertBook B5 Flip G2 should reach select markets during the third quarter of 2026, putting it squarely in the same window as other premium Windows convertibles that are trying to sell flexibility as a feature, not just a hinge trick.
