- ASUS expert book P3 focuses on lasting reliability with long software updates and a sturdy all-metal chassis
- ASUS balances Ryzen AI performance with bright panel settings and a battery designed for all day work
- Five years of BIOS and Driver Support Makes the Expert Book P3 Unusual among Business -Cutting Computers
ASUS has launched the Expertbook P3 series, available in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes, aimed at professionals looking for a stable business-bearable computer.
The company offers five years of BIOS and driver updates along with one year’s subscription to McAfee+ Premium, an unusually long software support promise in this segment.
This warranty may sound appealing, especially for IT leaders, but questions are still about how consistently such updates will be delivered over the devices.
Hardware designed for productivity and AI
Both models are operated by AMD Ryzen AI processors, including the pro -variants, with up to 16 cores and support for AI workloads of 50 tops.
Asus says this means that tasks such as real-time captions, automated notes and AI-noise canceling runs locally rather than relying on the cloud.
The new devices can be configured with up to 32 GB of DDR5 memory and as much as 2TB primary storage, with a secondary slot that allows for further extension.
The smaller 14-inch version offers a Wuxga or WQXGA panel with up to 400 NITS lighting and a 144Hz update speed, while the 16-inch version reflects these settings in a slightly higher screen-to-body ratio.
Both models include anti-glare coatings which can be useful for outdoor meetings or bright offices.
The chassis is all-metal, the keyboards are waste resistant, and optional backlighting is available.
For connectivity, it has double USB-C ports, double USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1, LAN and a headphone jack along with Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 configurations paired with Bluetooth 5.4.
70WH battery is standard and ASUS claims it has to deal with an entire working day that will appeal to buyers looking for a laptop with long battery life.
The expert book P3 is the MIL-STD-810H certified, which suggests some resistance to drops and shocks.
Security features include TPM 2.0, a fingerprint sensor, webcam shutter and a Kensington lock game.
These devices are not the lightest laptops on the market as the 14-inch model weighs 1,355 kg, while the 16-inch model weighs 1.79 kg.
The expert book P3 specifications looks great on paper, but its success will be determined by its ability to deliver uniform reliability in everyday office use.
