ASUS Announces ExpertBook L1 Series
Powered by up to the latest AMD Ryzen™ 7 processors, the beautiful, configurable and budget-friendly ExpertBook L1 series models boast a contemporary design, replete with a rugged top shell, and effortlessly combine high performance with extensive customizations to empower every business – including NumberPad 2.0 on L1400, plus optional fingerprint sensor, backlit keyboard and a front webcam.
ExpertBook L1 laptops also benefit from a high-speed, high-capacity dual-storage design, comprehensive connectivity compatible, and a display hinge that can be opened a full 180° for easy content sharing and collaboration.
- Primed to perform: Up to an AMD Ryzen 7 processor and flexible configurations
ExpertBook L1400 and L1500 also benefit from an admin-friendly design for hassle-free maintenance in commercial or education settings. Removal of a few screws on the base provides easy access to upgrade the RAM or storage device without the need to disassemble the entire device.
- Extensive connectivity: USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, DisplayPort, USB 3.1 Gen 2 and more
The need for remote work and learning tools has never been greater and ExpertBook L1400 and L1500 are equipped for these demands, with a total of two external video outputs — DisplayPort through USB-C, HDMI or VGA D-Sub — gives users the freedom to engage in a video-conferencing or remote-learning session on the laptop’s own display, while using two screens on either side to keep in view information that’s relevant to call or event. The new ExpertBook L1 models are also engineered for non-stop connectivity and productivity, with congestion-busting WiFi 6 and ASUS WiFi Master Technology.
- Lightweight mobility: Class-leading weight and slimness, plus screen-to-body ratio of up to 90%
- Commercial-grade durability and security: Military-grade construction and customizable options
A fingerprint sensor that’s integrated into the power button offers biometric security that’s as easy as it is effective. All the user needs to do in order to switch on and log in to L1400 or L1500 is press the power button — eliminating the need for difficult-to-remember passwords or PINs.
The new ExpertBook L1 models also include an optional front webcam with a physical privacy shield. This ingeniously simple idea means that all the user needs to do for instant privacy is to swipe the cover across the webcam’s lens. Then, when they’re ready to be seen again, visibility is just one flick of the finger away.
The optional Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 chip also ups ExpertBook L1’s business-friendly security credentials. The embedded TPM .20 chip securely stores authentication information used by software, such as passwords or encryption keys, to protect important data and transactions — keeping the information away from the eyes of would-be attackers.
Of course, life on the road can be tough, so ExpertBook L1 is designed to both meet and surpass exacting industry thresholds — including the latest ultra-demanding MIL-STD 810H US military standard, putting L1400 and L1500 one step ahead of the competition.
The chassis design combines additional structural enhancements to meet the rigorous tests of daily use. These include a resilient aluminum-alloy upper cover, an internal keyboard bracket that provides additional structural support and protective foam protects the hard drive from bumps and shocks.
- Crystal-clear conferencing audio: ASUS AI noise-canceling technology stops unwanted sounds
ASUS two-way AI noise-canceling audio employs machine learning in order to isolate unwanted noise from human speech. There are two modes: Single-presenter mode allows the voice directly in front of the PC to be heard clearly; while Multi-presenter mode clarifies speech from different direction, ensuring optimum quality for group conference calls. The AI noise-canceling mic speaker feature, meanwhile, filters out all ambient noise apart from human speech — making it easier to hear what everyone else is saying.
