The new laptop also integrates both an AI-powered camera and noise cancelation to enhance the overall user experience, ensuring uninterrupted meetings and optimized audiovisuals. Motion-tracking technology automatically keeps the user's face centered and adjusts focus, eliminating the annoyance of having to adjust the camera mid-chat. Both image quality and brightness are also enhanced automatically. Simultaneously, the two-way AI noise-canceling technology employs sophisticated machine-learning techniques to filter sound around the speaker and eliminate noise from the person at the other end of the conversation - so virtual chats feel as natural as being in the same room.
For fluid productivity with an expanded vision, the new ExpertBook B5 benefits from a slim-bezel touchscreen display with a 16:10 aspect ratio. Compatible with the ASUS Pen and other MPP 2.0 styluses, this provides busy professionals with more room to work and an easy way to create, annotate documents or jot down ideas.
