Designed to meet the needs of the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) sector, ASUS Philippines releases World’s first flippable mobile workstation, the ASUS ExpertBook B6 Flip (B6602F). This new ExpertBook delivers exceptional performance designed specifically to complement the workflow in the AEC sector that runs 3D and CAD applications and industry-leading software solutions like 3ds Max®, MicroStation®, and Vectorworks®. It also aims to help users to bring design concepts true to life through BIM software like ArchiCAD, and transition 2D sketches to 3D modeling and printing through tools like Creo® and Solidworks®. The ASUS ExpertBook B6 Flip also boasts a versatile 360° hinge making it portable and easy to use on-site or in the office.
Massive computing power for AEC productivity: Up to Intel® Core™ i9, 128 GB RAM, and 4 TB of ultra-fast M.2 storage
The ASUS ExpertBook B6 Flip maxes out computing power with up to 12th Gen Intel Core i9 HX processor, NVIDIA® RTX® A2000 professional graphics, supports up to 128 GB of dual-channel DDR5-4800MHz memory, and up to 4 TB of ultra-fast M.2 storage — to promise to deliver the ultimate performance for 3D designers and CAD users. To keep the top performance of the ExpertBook B6 Flip, it features a cooling system that minimizes the noise of the device, especially when running heavy AEC applications. ASUS optimized the cooling system to make the Intel CPU run comfortably with 135 watts total TDP (55 W CPU and 80 W GPU) in Performance mode. This new ExpertBook also boasts an NVIDIA Max-P Dynamic Boost’s support for users to enjoy a limitless and powerful performance.
The ASUS ExpertBook B6 Flip also uses dual 98-blade fans beneficial for Engineers. It has three heat pipes and seven intelligent sensors that ensure the laptop an optimum cooling performance while keeping the device quiet — under 40 dBA in Standard mode. This new ExpertBook features a versatile design because of its flippable 16-inch display that allows users the choice to work anywhere and in any laptop mode that the user prefer. The improved design is also perfect for the growing hybrid workers in the country. Lastly, AES professionals need maximum connectivity options to handle all workloads. The ExpertBook B6 Flip also offers a comprehensive set of ports for easy data transfers and peripheral connections. It includes a built-in smart card reader and a microSD slot that makes it easier for 3D creators to shoot, edit, and process massive images and videos anywhere. This laptop also boasts two ultra-versatile Thunderbolt™ 4 ports with DisplayPort® 1.4, two USB 3.2 Type-A ports, and a pro-grade 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port.
Professional crafts, elevated: Real-time ray tracing, extreme processing power and intelligent AI
ExpertBook B6 Flip is engineered with professional-grade NVIDIA RTX A2000 graphics that leverage the NVIDIA Ampere™ architecture to help users elevate their craft — whether creating short online videos or full-length features, generating animations or 3D models, or exploring graphic design. Ampere features new ray-tracing and Tensor cores with support for sparsity, DLSS 2.0 AI super-resolution technology, and streaming multiprocessors that deliver massively improved performance. This remarkable GPU offers the most realistic ray-traced graphics, and cutting-edge new features and harnesses the power of AI.
Designed for AEC: ISV-certified for pro apps and an innovative touchscreen display with a stylus
For 3D creators, the software is the bread and butter that’s why the ASUS ExpertBook B6 Flip underwent rigorous tests in comprehensive certification processes from independent software vendors (ISVs) — to ensure this new laptop produces a limitless performance that doesn’t compromise the requirements needed from the world’s leading 3D and CAD developers. Out of the box, the ExpertBook Flip B6 also has an optional MPP 2.0-compatible ASUS stylus that supports up to 4096 pressure levels, allowing users to write, draw and annotate in any supported applications.
• Architecture, engineering, and construction: Planning, designing, and constructing structures involves art, beauty, science, technology, and teamwork. The ASUS ExpertBook B6 Flip allows professionals across AEC industries to concentrate on bringing concepts true to life with BIM software, using tools such as Revit®, 3dsMax® and Maya®.
• Product design and manufacturing: Whether creating cars, gadgets, or furniture’s, the design process often starts with a 2D sketch before moving on to 3D modeling and 3D printing. The ASUS ExpertBook B6 Flip effortlessly runs tools like Creo®, SolidWorks®, or Microstation®, making modeling and rendering more efficient and faster.
• Creative and media: Today’s complex workflows for recording, editing, post-production, and transcoding demands heavy tools like Adobe® Premiere®. The unrivaled power of the ASUS ExpertBook B6 Flip will do the heavy lifting enabling professionals to meet deadlines without compromising their creative vision.
Business-grade security: Intel vPro, Windows 11 Pro, TPM 2.0, TCG Opal, and more
The AEC industry can be particularly vulnerable to security breaches due to the large amount of highly confidential data they handle and the massive volume of information they transfer internally and externally. To protect this information, the ASUS ExpertBook B6 Flip (B6602F) is powered by an Intel vPro Essentials or Enterprise platforms and a Windows 11 Pro. This powerhouse combination enables users’ higher productivity with maximum security equipped for the most demanding workloads. In particular, the ExpertBook B6 Flip has multi-layered security, making it an ideal device for financial and government institutions. This includes support for self-encrypting TCG Opal SSD drives to prevent unauthorized data access from hackers and a discrete TPM 2.0 chip to store authentication information such as passwords or encryption keys securely. It also has a intelligent card reader that enables easy two-factor authentication that requires users to use a password and recognized card required for login, and an IR camera for easy face login that supports Windows Hello.
