The Asus ExpertBook P5 (P5405) wants to be your next business laptop, and it has a pretty compelling resume. Powered by the latest Intel Lunar Lake chips, it lasted over 14 hours in our battery testing and offers solid productivity performance. It also features a robust array of security features. Frequent travelers or commuters will breathe a sigh of relief at its 2.8-pound weight and the three-year warranty with one year of accidental damage protection.
Those are excellent foundational pieces upon which to build a great business laptop, but Asus adds a few intriguing extras to win you over. The first of these is the stunningly bright 144Hz display, which should let you work in most lighting conditions, and that boosted refresh rate goes easier on your eyes. A bevy of ports should once again make frequent travelers or presenters happy, and your finance department (even if that’s just you) will be satisfied with the $1,299 starting price.
