Hi there,

I stumbled upon the ASUS ExpertBook B5 as my potential new work notebook, but I have a hard time finding any relevant reviews regarding the build quality and the durability of this product.

The exact model number I am looking at is B5404CMA-QN1020.

Only thing I found as a potential issue is a noise regarding the hinge.

I’m currently using a Zenbook (UM425U) and it has many issues regarding the build and software support thus I’m kind of hesitant to purchase ASUS again. But the same time the specification I’m looking for (powerful cpu, 400+ nit display, ethernet port) is only present in this type at this price range.

As ASUS advertise this is as a business notebook I wonder if it can match for example a ThinkPad L or T in the regards of build quality?

If you use an ExpertBook B5 please share your opinions because there are hardly any reviews regarding it! Thanks!

    Thin light will often have limited lifespan, check how long you can get warranty for
