In this review, we will take a detailed look at its design, performance, and key features to give you a clear understanding of how it holds up under real-world condition

Lightweight Durability with Professional Elegance

ASUS ExpertBook P1 is a sleek and lightweight laptop weighing just 1.63kg. Built with robust 1.2mm thick stainless-steel hinges secured by large screws, this design ensures enhanced durability. The hinge mechanism has undergone rigorous open-close and pull force testing, enduring 50% more cycles and withstanding 66% greater force compared to standard laptops, for long-lasting reliability. The device is available in Misty Grey colour to give a professional touch to its appearance.

Smooth Multitasking with 13th Gen Intel Core i7

The ExpertBook P1 delivers high performance thanks to the 13th Gen Intel Core i7 H series processor which runs at 2.40GHz. With 16GB of RAM and 500GB of storage, the laptop handles multitasking with ease. Whether we were juggling several browser tabs, working on documents, or streaming videos, it kept up without any noticeable lag. For those who need a bit more power, the ExpertBook P1 offers both the U-series (15W) and H-series (35W) processor options, giving flexibility depending on your needs.

Graphics-wise, the laptop handles basic entertainment needs well, thanks to the Intel Iris Xe graphics (U15) or Intel integrated graphics (H35), making it a solid choice for productivity as well as casual media consumption.
