Asus 14" Pro B9440UA Notebook

That is at least according to Asus, since the company advertises their latest 1.05 kg (2.31 lbs) heavy and 15 mm (0.59 inches) USB-C only office notebook as such. Our extensive review is going to reveal whether or not the restrictions necessary to achieve this feat are worth it, and how the B9400UA...

• +

  rigid and good-looking case, very compact, thin, and lightweight, thin bezels, port replicator and protective case included, TPM + fingerprint reader, very good input devices, excellent contrast ratio, quiet and cool in all load scenarios, economical and power-efficient, very long battery life

• -

  rudimentary port layout, no webcam, subpar Wi-Fi performance, color accuracy rather poor out of the box, subpar SATA 3 SSD, massive throttling during our stress test

As an affordable alternative to higher-end models, the Asus Pro B9440U is a travel-friendly business laptop that'll last through the work day. If only it had a webcam.

  The Asus Pro B9440U has a slim and lightweight design. Its antireflective screen has a 180-degree hinge that places the keyboard at a better ergonomic angle. Booting up and charging is fast. It has long-lasting battery life.

• -

  It doesn't have a webcam. Ports are limited.

The Asus Pro B9440 is a thin-and-light laptop with an excellently built MIL-grade shell, an excellent keyboard, a nice matte IPS screen and capable speakers, as well as a laptop that can handle regular tasks smoothly while running cool and fairly quiet.

I was totally caught off guard with the B9440 from ASUS. Not sure if the ASUSPro line will continue to come out with awesome products but I love this thing. I like the all metal magnesium build and fit and finish.

• +

  Awesome design, all magnesium body, and super thin bezel. I like the USB type 2. And lightweight design and backlit keyboard.

• -

  Webcam but I never use it so not a big deal.

This is a sleek beautiful laptop. It has all the basic needs in portable computing. Great display, durable, fast, large SSD. The 14 inch display is big enough to do most work without problems. The entire package is compromised by lack of ports and no webcam.
