A new Windows-on-ARM convertible tablet called the ExpertBook B3 Detachable has been launched by Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Asus. The tablet can be used with or without a detachable keyboard, as implied by the name, and its kickstand can hold the two-in-one in either landscape or portrait mode.
The device has a 10.5-inch LCD panel with a 1,920 x 1,200px resolution (16:10) and a maximum brightness of 320 nits. The display is quite suitable for creatives as it covers 121% of the sRGB color gamut. Asus advertises this as the “first Windows laptop powered by the Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 Compute Platform with a garaged stylus”. The chipset can be paired with 4GB or 8GB of LPDDR4 RAM and 128GB of eMMC storage. It is available with Windows 11 Pro, Windows 11 Home in S Mode, and Windows 11 Pro Education.
The “garaged stylus” offers 45 minutes of use time with just 15 seconds of charge and can be stored inside the tablet itself. The device features AI noise-canceling tech for audio, noise-reduction for the 5MP front-facing camera (for low-light environments), and a dedicated mute key on the optional keyboard. There is also a 13MP camera on the back.
Other features of the slate include a MIL-STD-810H rating for toughness, USB-C (with video out and charging support), one 3.5mm combo audio jack, Wi-Fi 5 (ac, 2×2), and Bluetooth 5.1. The Asus ExpertBook B3 Detachable starts at $600 and is already available at Best Buy in the US.
