Asus B23E 12-incher released: a business laptop with a lot of power and a premium price
Asus’s laptop collection improves and enriches almost weekly, with products being unveiled and released to fit everyone’s needs, no matter your education or profession. One of the latest notebooks to hit the market is the Asus B23E, a business-oriented 12-incher with a pretty premium price, but a sturdy and solid exterior, as well as some impressive tech specs.
Powered by a 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7-2620M, the B23E-XH71 will certainly not be on top of the casual technology enthusiast’s shopping lists, but should draw attention from those of you who need a solid, snappy and portable laptop to carry around.
Weighing in at 3.2 pounds, the Asus B23E is clearly not a lightweight device, but it’s made out of magnesium-alloy, so the aim is to provide ruggedness and strength. The all-black exterior, with matte surfaces, might seem old-fashioned for some of you, but once again this 12-incher is aimed towards a certain kind of people and those people appreciate elegance and plain, but sophisticated looks.
It's robust, solid and sturdy, which is exactly what you need on the road!
Aside from the very snappy dual-core Sandy Bridge processor, the B23E also comes with 4 GB of RAM, a 500 GB 7200 rpm hard drive, a DVD burner drive, Bluetooth 3.0 and WiFi connectivity. The laptop runs, of course, Windows 7 Home Premium, and the 3-cell battery, while it still has an unspecified autonomy, should come with enough power to go around.
The 12.1-inch screen is another technical detail that should draw your attention, featuring a 1366 x 768 pixels resolution and offering protection against sunlight or any kind of powerful light source. There’s also a spill-resistant comfortable keyboard, as well as a fingerprint reader, so all in all I for one am really impressed with this netbook’s features and tech specs.
It doesn't look spectacular, but it packs a lot of power under its hood!
As you might expect, this kind of power and build doesn’t come cheap and the 12-incher currently starts at 922.43 dollars on Amazon. You can pre-order it right now and it should be delivered to you in a matter of weeks, even though there’s still nothing official on that front.
There it is, the new 12-inch business-oriented netbook from Asus, dressed to impress and ready to accompany you on the road anywhere, anytime! What do you think, are you willing to pay almost 1,000 bucks for this 12-incher?
