Reviews for the Asus ExpertBook P5 P5405-NZ0102X
Intel Lunar Lake promises to bring the efficiency of x86 laptops to a similar level as ARM CPUs from Qualcomm and Apple. This is mostly successful, even if the maximum multicore performance is limited. For a compact and lightweight office laptop like the Asus ExpertBook P5 P5405 though, we think other aspects matter more - like the long battery life and quiet cooling fan.

The Asus ExpertBook P5 (P5405) at $1,299 isn’t the cheapest business laptop by any means, but it’s a strong value in a market where prices closer to $2,000 and beyond are common for similar hardware. I just mentioned it again above, but that three-year warranty with one year of Accidental Damage Protection is an enticing add-on for businesses that don’t want to replace a new laptop due to some mishap after 6 months with it. The display and the mushy touchpad are the biggest complaints I have with the ExpertBook P5 and they are frankly fairly minor for a business laptop. If you are doing work that requires vibrant color and precise color accuracy, this isn’t the laptop for you, but the bright 144Hz panel is outstanding for productivity work.

This ExpertBook P5 is a solid daily laptop for general use, for work and school and regular activities. Unlike the consumer Vivobook and Zenbook Asus models, this comes with a few extras in terms of durability and reliability standards that it has to meet, a few extra software and BIOS tweaks, and a few design and ergonomics particularities. For instance, it implements a clickier keyboard, a 180-hinge with an IPS display, it’s easier to upgrade and service, and depending on your region comes with a few extra warranty and post-sale perks.

Maybe. The ExpertBook P5 is frustratingly close to being a great, budget-friendly business laptop, especially in the sub-£1,000 market. You're getting a good design, excellent build quality, a strong keyboard and touchpad, and plenty of connectivity, along with a better screen than those you'll find on many business-grade devices at this price point. Intel's CPU is no multi-threaded powerhouse, but it's a solid all-rounder with AI capabilities and faster GPU performance than Snapdragon X alternatives. Yet you're still taking a sizable step down in performance from higher-end devices, while battery life isn't where we hoped it would be. We'd cautiously recommend it, but it's not quite a must-buy.

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 aluminium 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. That coming from Asus is rather refreshing.

We liked the Zenbook S 14 quite a bit. It’s not as fast as we hoped, but it had strong battery life, a quality build, and a great OLED display. I was hopeful that the ExpertBook P5 would offer the same qualities, only with a slant toward businesses. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. To begin with, the build quality just isn’t what it should be. In particular, the lid feels fragile. The ExpertBook P5 is reasonably affordable, but that’s not acceptable. And battery life was disappointing, and that’s the whole purpose of Intel’s new chipset. I can’t recommend this laptop.

Intel Arc 140V: A pretty fast integrated graphics adapter that higher-end Intel Lunar Lake family processors employ. This is a direct successor to the Arc 8; it can drive three SUHD 4320p monitors simultaneously via HDMI 2.1, eDP 1.5 and DP 2.1. With the 140V, all 2023 and 2024 games are playable at 1080p on low graphics settings.
With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

Core Ultra 7 258V: An upper mid-range Lunar Lake family processor. It sports 4 new Skymont E-cores and 4 new Lion Cove P-cores running at up to 3.7 GHz and 4.8 GHz respectively, along with the new Arc 140V iGPU and 32 GB of on-package LPDDR5x-8533 RAM. It essentially matches the Core Ultra 7 165U and Core i7-1360P in multi-thread performance and it eats up to 37 W when under short-term workloads.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
