Dubai, Sept 4, 2026: As the new school year approaches, students are now on the hunt for the right laptop to support them with their studies. Beyond the latest specifications, the ideal school laptop needs to offer the mobility and flexibility that a student needs for their day-to-day school activities. 

With learning now extending beyond traditional classrooms to include online collaboration, digital assignments and project-based activities, students and educators alike need a device that can easily adapt to different ways of working and learning. 

The ASUS ExpertBook B5 Flip G2 brings together the versatility of a 360° convertible design with features tailored for both students and educators. It is powered by up to the latest Intel Core 7 Series 3 processor with a 17 TOPS NPU, which delivers AI-accelerated performance that is perfect for research, assignments and projects. As AI-powered learning tools are becoming increasingly common, the integrated NPU helps with optimising these experiences while maintaining responsive performance and power efficiency. It also supports up to 32GB of LPDDR5X memory and up to 1TB of PCIe 4.0 SSD storage, providing users with plenty of room for files, coursework and multitasking. 

It’s lightweight as well, weighing only up to 1.34 kilograms and just 14.9 mm thin, making it an ideal companion for busy students. The convertible design means the laptop can be used in laptop, tablet, tent and display modes. Note-taking and sketching are made much easier with the garaged MPP 2.0 stylus that keeps it secure and ready to use. In fact, a 15-second charge equals up to 60 minutes of use. This versatility allows students to comfortably switch between typing assignments, reading digital textbooks, presenting group projects and taking handwritten notes without needing multiple devices. 

There’s a 14-inch NanoEdge display with an 84% screen-to-body ratio. The 16:10 panel delivers 400 nits of brightness and is also TÜV Rheinland-certified for comfortable extended viewing. It also comes with a touchscreen, which lets students take full advantage of interactive learning and collaboration. 

From the outside, the ExpertBook B5 Flip G2 boasts a premium aluminum chassis with an elegant Gentle Gray finish, making it ideal for everyday use. Since this device is meant to be used almost on a daily basis, ASUS has ensured that it is strong enough to withstand daily wear and tear thanks to the MIL-STD 810H US military-grade durability standards. It even features Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, a spill-resistant keyboard, reinforced hinges and strengthened I/O ports, helping ensure long-term reliability for both students and educational institutions. 

The device also comes with a wide range of ports for optimum connectivity. There are two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, HDMI 2.1, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports and an audio/microphone combo jack. The device also supports two cameras. One is a user-facing camera perfect for video calls and the other is a world-facing camera for capturing photos and documents. Both cameras even include a physical privacy shutter for instant privacy when needed. Audio experience for calls and meetings is further enhanced with dual speakers, dual-array microphones and Smart Amplifier. 

To safeguard student data, the ExpertBook B5 Flip G2 has enterprise-grade security with a NIST SP 800-193-compliant BIOS, Windows 11 Secured-core technologies and five years of security updates. Additional security features include a fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button, TPM 2.0 for hardware-based file encryption and dual BIOS support for automatic backup protection against firmware corruption. For schools and universities managing multiple devices, ASUS also offers management tools that simplify deployment and administration, helping IT teams maintain devices more efficiently across campuses.
