The consumer-business hybrid series from Asus will compete directly with the Lenovo ThinkBook lineup designed for smaller businesses and workers on-the-go.
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-ExpertBook-B9450-with-Core-i7-16-GB-RAM-and-1-TB-PCIe-SSD-now-shipping-for-1800-USD.460063.0.html
1800$ for LPDDR3 and even no shitty mx350 GPU? 300nit screen...
There is no diference between LPDDR3 and LPDDR4x for this kind of CPU and GPU... 2x 2133 MHz it's more than enough for the i7-10510U and the UHD620... 300 nits with a very good anti-glare screen could be ok for outdoor uses.
The price is not for the components but for the chassis and the overall construction.. like for a X1 Carbon for exemple..

This Asus will compete more with the X1 Carbon i think.. Otherwise, are you going to do a review of this Asus?
Thanks

Ah, you mean the X1 Carbon that has that 300 nits as its
cheapest, entry-level SKU currently going for $300 cheaper? The one that has panel options up to a 500-nit 4k panel, and the
real Comet Lake i7 that actually has a significant advantage over the i5, rather than the 10510u's small max-clock bump that never gets reached anyway?

The X1 Carbon 300 nits, Intel i7, 16 GB of RAM, 1 TB of SSD, 3 years of warranty is not $300 cheaper... on the contrary..
I cannot see the X1 Carbon with the i7-10710U on the site of Lenovo but if it exists, it probably costs a lot more than any Asus B9450... and i believe that the i7-10710U heats faster and more than the i7-10510U... Comparatively with the i5-10210U, the i7 version have also a higher base clock and a higher amount of cache memory.
14" 100% sRGB, 66Wh, abundant ports, under 1kg, overall quite impressive, no Ice Lake is a disappointment, in a sense, but generally worth the price IMO.
