ASUS has announced the world’s lightest 14 inch business notebook. Coming in at only 2.31lbs, the B9440 will be available in May 2017 and will retail for $999. Not only is the notebook light, but it also takes up no more of a footprint than most 13 inch notebooks.
The B9440 comes with an all metal chassis made from magnesium alloy and is designed to exceed military-grade durability standards. It features the latest Intel Core I7 and I7 U-Series CPUs with optional vPro Support. The ASUS Pro B9440 provides great performance with style while being rugged. The spill-resistant keyboard features a specially designed tilted hinge mechanism that automatically positions the keyboard for comfortable typing when opened. The notebook includes two USB-C ports for high speed connections with one port also supporting power delivery and docking connections.
