The Asus ExpertBook P3 and P5 series have officially landed in India, targeting business professionals who need serious computing power without the ultra-premium price tag. Equipped with Intel Core Ultra processors and supporting a massive 96GB of RAM, these new laptops are built to handle heavy multitasking and AI-driven workloads. If your current work machine is struggling to keep up with modern enterprise demands, this refreshed lineup offers a highly customizable upgrade path.
Both the P3 and P5 series are available in 14-inch and 16-inch form factors, featuring anti-glare displays that peak at WQXGA resolution and 400 nits of brightness. For professionals who require superior color accuracy, select P5 variants offer OLED panels. Despite the robust hardware, Asus has kept the chassis travel-friendly. The 14-inch P5 model weighs just 1.29kg, while the P3 starts at 1.43kg. Every model carries MIL-STD-810H military-grade certification and features a spill-resistant keyboard to survive the rigors of daily commuting.
Under the hood, the P3 series is powered by Intel Core Ultra 5 and Ultra 7 H-series processors paired with Intel Arc graphics. The P5 series takes performance a step further by integrating newer Core Ultra chips equipped with Neural Processing Units (NPUs) capable of delivering up to 50 TOPS. This makes select P5 models fully Copilot+ compliant, ready to accelerate local AI tasks. Memory and storage are highly flexible, offering up to 96GB of DDR5 RAM and 1TB of PCIe SSD storage, with dual M.2 slots available for future expansion.
Enterprise security and connectivity remain a top priority across the lineup. The laptops are equipped with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, and RJ45 Ethernet ports. Security features include TPM chips, fingerprint sensors, BIOS protection, and IR-based Windows Hello support via the 1080p or 5-megapixel webcams, which all include physical privacy shutters. Battery capacities range from 63Wh to 70Wh on the P5, supporting fast charging speeds up to 90W.
The Asus ExpertBook P3 is currently available for purchase in India, starting at Rs. 94,990, with early launch discounts already live. The higher-end ExpertBook P5 lineup, which starts at Rs. 2,14,990, is expected to roll out to retailers soon.
The Push for Local AI in the Enterprise
Asus is making a calculated move by offering up to 96GB of RAM and 50 TOPS NPUs in a mid-tier business chassis. While the Rs. 2,14,990 starting price for the P5 series places it firmly in the premium enterprise bracket, the inclusion of Copilot+ capabilities ensures these machines are future-proofed for local AI workloads. Companies are increasingly wary of sending sensitive data to cloud-based AI models, making on-device processing a critical selling point.
The P3 series, starting at Rs. 94,990, is arguably the more compelling volume driver for standard corporate fleets. By retaining dual M.2 slots and upgradeable RAM, Asus is directly addressing the IT department's need for longevity and repairability. This modular approach is a refreshing contrast to the growing trend of soldered components in modern ultrabooks, offering businesses a better return on investment over a standard hardware lifecycle.
