Asus ExpertBook P5: Verdict
On the face of it, the Asus ExpertBook P5 delivers all the lovely things that a good ultrabook design needs. It’s thin and reasonably lightweight, while the aluminum skin makes it feel robust and substantial. The processor is powerful enough for the power user and has AI trinkets for those who insist on running Stable Diffusion locally or want to develop AI code. The P5 isn’t a mobile workstation, but it has enough power for most users, and its power efficiency makes the battery capacity last a remarkably long time. It’s also quite affordable for such new technology, which is rather refreshing coming from Asus.
