Asus ExpertBook P3 Review: A smart, durable and AI-ready workhorse
Asus is on a roll, delivering back-to-back products across various categories. The good thing that I like about the company is its range of products that are aimed at different user needs. Recently, I reviewed the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16, and now featuring next is the Asus ExpertBook P3. This P series laptop promises to cater to the evolving needs of businesses and professionals as it comes backed with AI capabilities. Starting at a price of ₹64,990, it aims to deliver performance, security, and portability. So, let's find out if it delivers or not. Design & Build Right out of the box, the ExpertBook P3 shouts 'business-ready.' It's got that clean, professional look with its all-aluminium build that feels premium yet purpose-driven. Weighing just 1.42 kg and measuring 18mm thick, it fits snugly into a backpack and doesn't weigh you down during a commute or flight. Asus also adds a light charger, which makes travelling with this laptop even more hassle-free. The finishing is anti-fouling and wear-resistant, promising long-term durability without sacrificing aesthetic charm. Asus has clearly put thought into the layout, especially the ports. The company smartly clusters most I/O ports toward the rear half of the chassis, leaving the front clean and unobstructed—ideal for right-handed mouse users. You get dual USB-C ports, HDMI, USB-A, a combo audio jack, and even an RJ45 retractable Ethernet port. The 180-degree lay-flat hinge is another welcome feature, especially for collaborative environments. What adds to its durability is its MIL-STD-810H certification—this laptop has been drop-tested, pressure-tested, and port-tested to withstand serious wear and tear. The design almost checks all boxes—but one small caveat: the speakers are placed on the base. This design choice does affect sound projection, especially on soft surfaces like beds or laps. Having the speakers on the surface would've made more sense for a device aimed at professionals who rely heavily on video conferencing. (For top technology news of the day, subscribe to our tech newsletter Today's Cache) Display The P3 features a 14-inch IPS panel with up to WUXGA (1920 x 1200) resolution, a 16:10 aspect ratio, and up to 400 nits brightness—a setup designed to enhance productivity. The anti-glare coating and wide viewing angles (178°) are especially helpful during long hours of use, reducing eye strain while maintaining clarity and colour accuracy. The three-sided slim bezels push the screen-to-body ratio to a commendable 84%, providing an immersive feel for tasks ranging from spreadsheets to video calls. It's not just about sharpness; the display also handles light well, making it usable in brighter environments without too much reflection. Touchpad & Keypad The first time I laid my fingers on the keyboard, it reminded me a lot of a MacBook. The keycaps are 12.24% larger, and key travel is a generous 1.5mm—which contributes to both accuracy and comfort. With wider pitch and dished keys that match the natural curvature of fingertips, typing feels intuitive and fatigue-free. The spill-resistant design (up to 78cc) is also a thoughtful touch, especially for coffee-fuelled workdays. The touchpad, now 4% larger than previous-gen models, offers a smoother gliding experience. It supports Windows gestures and Asus-specific controls, such as volume and brightness swipes. Whether you're switching apps with three fingers or adjusting media playback, the experience is seamless. For professionals often working without an external mouse, this touchpad delivers reliable, responsive input every time. Performance Under the hood, the ExpertBook P3 is powered by Intel's 13th Gen H-series processors, going up to Core i7-13620H with a 40W thermal design, paired with up to 64 GB of DDR5 RAM and dual PCIe Gen 4 SSDs. On paper and in practice, that's plenty of muscle for heavy multitasking, virtualisation, and business apps. In actual usage, performance was snappy whether I was handling spreadsheets, switching between multiple browser tabs, or participating in video calls. Asus's ExpertCool thermal solution ensures that the heat never gets in the way of productivity, even when docked with the lid closed, a scenario where many laptops throttle. What's impressive is that even under the intense Intel PTAT stress test, the system sustained peak performance, thanks to the 8mm heat pipe and improved airflow. Reinforced fans and dust filters inside also speak to the P3's long-term stability in various working conditions, including hot or dusty environments. Windows & AI Integration The ExpertBook P3 runs Windows 11 Pro and is loaded with Asus's own set of AI-powered features that truly differentiate it. One of the highlights is the Asus ExpertMeet suite, which includes real-time transcription, live translation, and meeting summaries—all processed on-device to safeguard sensitive business data. The AI camera and AI audio functions are excellent for today's hybrid work culture. Features like Auto Framing, Eye Contact Correction, and Voiceprint recognition during video calls ensure that communication remains clear, sharp, and secure. It's these smart additions that push the P3 from just another business laptop to a well-rounded professional companion. Battery Here's where things become a little less perfect. While Asus claims up to 13 hours of battery life under ideal conditions, my real-world experience was closer to 4–4.5 hours with standard workloads— emails, browsing, document editing, and occasional video calls. The battery seems to drain fast too, which was surprising to see. To help ease it, the company has added a fast-charging feature that can charge the laptop from 5% to 60% in under 49 minutes, which is convenient during quick breaks. And the universal USB-C charging means you can top up from a power bank or even airplane charging ports. Still, a bit more battery stamina would've been the cherry on top. Verdict Coming back to the question posed in the beginning—does the Asus ExpertBook P3 deliver on its promise of performance, security, and portability for professionals? Absolutely. The laptop is thoughtfully engineered for business users who need a blend of durability, security, and modern features, without the premium pricing of flagship enterprise laptops. There are a few rough edges— like speaker placement and average battery life— but they don't overshadow the strengths. For freelancers, SMBs, and professionals who spend equal time in meetings, airports, and coffee shops, the ExpertBook P3 makes a compelling case as a smart, durable, and AI-ready workhorse.

Microsoft may have shelved its Xbox Handheld, and the reason is Windows 11
Microsoft has temporarily shelved development of its own Xbox handheld gaming device to prioritize improving Windows 11 performance for third-party gaming handhelds, according to sources familiar with the company's plans. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The decision represents a strategic shift as Microsoft faces mounting competition from Valve's SteamOS platform. The tech giant's internal first-party handheld project, which was targeting a 2027 launch alongside the next Xbox console, has been put on hold while teams redirect efforts toward optimizing Windows 11 for devices like the upcoming Asus ROG Ally successor, codenamed " Project Kennan ." Windows Latest reports that Microsoft announced the reprioritization internally, though no layoffs have occurred as a result of the decision. Microsoft's rumored handheld with Asus remains a priority Microsoft's partnership with Asus remains unaffected by the internal handheld delay. Project Kennan, expected to launch later this year with AMD's Z2 Extreme processor, represents Microsoft's near-term handheld gaming strategy. The hardware development is reportedly complete, with software optimization now the primary focus. The shift comes as SteamOS poses an increasing threat to Windows' gaming dominance. Recent tests show significant battery life and performance improvements when SteamOS is installed on Windows-based handhelds like the Legion Go and ROG Ally, though users lose access to services like PC Game Pass. Microsoft continues developing next-generation Xbox cloud systems at its Redmond headquarters, aiming to match NVIDIA GeForce Now 's latency performance. The company also cancelled its cloud-focused mini console "Hobart" as part of broader strategic realignments. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now While Microsoft maintains long-term ambitions for a native Xbox handheld, the immediate focus on third-party partnerships and Windows optimization reflects the competitive pressure from established platforms like Steam Deck ahead of the company's June 8 Xbox Showcase .
