Source: Digitec GalaxusThe Asus ExpertBook B3 (90NX0741-M002P0) is an affordable 16-inch notebook with a fast Intel Core i7 processor and 32 GB RAM. What we particularly like: Instead of an integrated graphics solution, Asus has equipped the device with a separate Nvidia GeForce graphics card. Even under full load, the Expert Book B3 remains nice and quiet...
The chic Asus ExpertBook B3 was fast when tested and its USB C 4.0 ports were just as fast; they have Thunderbolt 4 technology on board. But: The display could show colours more vividly, the SSD could offer more memory. In the end, it is a "good" all-rounder. However, there are better and cheaper alternatives, such as the 700 euro Asus Vivobook 16 (grade 2.1; test winner CB 16).
