Asus expertbook B7 Flip Laptop i5-1155g7 512gb 8gb (upgradeable) with active stylus and 5g

I have one of these and the reason I went from a 1kg Zenbook to this 1.4kg B7 was for a few reasons and I am not looking back!

1) 5G connectivity
2) Upgradeability of RAM / SSD
3) It has basically every port you would need on it no more carrying around adapters. (The Ethernet NIC is onboard of the device but it does use a breakout cable to give you the port. AND yes it doesn't have VGA output but it has Mini DP, HDMI and Type-C!)

Your not really comparing the same class of devices. I actually own both devices a Zenbook and a B7

The Zenbook is more of a prosumer device, a high-end consumer that could cross over as a work device. It looks very nice and has sleek lines and mine has taken a battering and still is in great shape. Whereas the ASUS B7/ B-Series is designed to be an Enterprise-class of device this just feels so much more solid. It is designed to be used heavily and keep going. Mine has been used every day for over a year and looks almost new still.

While both have good reliability and are designed to pass Mil-Spec Standards there are additional features you don't get on a Zenbook with this B7 Device.

Stand-out advantages for me are
1) The 5G connectivity which is a godsend when you are travelling (no more wondering if a hotel Wifi is secure etc).
2) The upgradeability of the device. I have a 2TB M.2 and 32GB RAM and it is great!
3) The amazing screen the 16:10 ratio WUXGA screen with the high resolution is great and clear especially in Excel reports when your trying to fit a lot on the screen.

It has other features I don't use that much or at all such as the PC Card Reader (The credit card sized security card that I have seen some companies use or people like the NHS etc) Fingerprint reader and Windows hello camera (Work have disabled those by policy)

Yes, it does and Intel one to boot! > You can use it with a Physical SIM or e-SIM

As mentioned by @bradford_dr the stylus isn't garaged it does attach to the side of the screen magnetically but I would walk around like this as it isn’t strong and it does detach from the laptop.

I believe from the ASUS B7402F (11th Gen) pages it sues the MPP 2.0 technology which is the same tech if I am not mistaken that the Microsoft Surfaces use with 4096 points of pressure etc.

They seem to have a couple of compatible stylus which also seem cheaper than the surface ones.

Asus store seems to be the same supplier

Same here, I can't stand glossy screens and no one seems to put an AG coating on them (Apart from Apple).
What really baffles me is the latest trend of having a non-touch screen with a sheet of glossy plastic/glass over it, that was always a trade off if you wanted to a touch screen device.

Does DHL mean Dell, HP, and Lenovo? If so, I think I might've seen it before, yet wasn't able to infer it then from the context. I searched Google for it, and if that is what it means, it must be fairly niche, as I couldn't find any clear hits.

Literally only thing I could ask for would be a garaged stylus...

To check, this one should take an eGPU yes?

I expired when it seemed as though the stylus wasn't included as I felt that substantially affected the value of the deal.

64 if you dump the 8gb already installed.

You could probably get a DAB radio app. apps.microsoft.com/sto…=gb

I suspected that was the case. Odd to see such a big price drop on two sites simultaneously

Presumably it came with a single black seal on the box?
Blimey, if the chassis is bent, I'd imagine it doesn't close and flip properly... worrying... (edited)
