Asus Expertbook P and ROG Series Laptops in India - A quick overview of their 2025 lineup
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, they say. So we have got something for work as well as play; rather Asus has with their new Expertbook P and ROG lineup of laptops. Don't think they meant PC gaming by 'play' when that phrase was coined, but we will just stick with its modern interpretation in the current times. The ROG (Republic of Gamers) series is quite popular and somewhat defines Asus' image in the portable computing category.

Expertbook series is relatively lesser known and is projected as business laptops
Their Expertbook series is relatively lesser known and is projected as business laptops. Needless to say, that's where the 'work' part comes in. In the past couple of weeks, Asus unveiled their 2025 lineup in both the series, and we got a chance to briefly get our hands on most of the models. It's time to introduce you to the latest from the company, from the sleek Expertbook P1 to the muscular ROG Strix Scar, all the way to the unique and versatile ROG Flow 13.
Expertbook P1
Asus Expertbook P: Design, Specifications, Price in India
Expertbook P series is a business laptops lineup, which are basically sturdy, more portable and reasonably powerful laptops
As I mentioned, the Expertbook P series is a business laptops lineup, which are basically sturdy, more portable and reasonably powerful laptops for on-the-go work needs. Within that you get the P1, P3 and P5 variants. We will talk about the P1 in more detail shortly, but a quick word on the other two before that. Broadly speaking, the P3 is a slimmer yet sturdier variant of the P1 with US MIL-STD 810H military-grade ruggedness.
The Expertbook P1 keyboard
The P5 series laptops boast of AI capabilities with the use of Intel Core Ultra 5 or 7 CPUs along with LPDDR5X RAM. They also get a 144 Hz refresh rate display and a higher capacity battery. They are the slimmest and lightest of the lot, weighing less than 1.3 kg with battery, without compromising on sturdiness (US MIL-STD 810H). Needless to say, they are the premium-most in terms of design and pricing both. All laptops featured in this article run Windows 11.
We got our hands on an Asus Expertbook P1 (P1403CVA) laptop for a few days and our experience was largely positive. The metallic grey matte finish looks elegant and the model name on a brushed metal strip on the flap looks classy. Thanks to a 14-inch IPS-grade panel, the size of the machine was just right and so was the weight, which was just a shade over 1.4 kg with battery. The thickness is also under 2 cm and doesn't look bulky at all.

Speaking of the display, you get a Full HD value-IPS panel with anti-glare coating, 300 nits peak brightness and 60 Hz refresh rate. The display is bright enough with good colour reproduction and viewing angles. We wouldn't call the colour accuracy good enough for graphics professionals but other users may find no reason to complain. Yes, a higher refresh rate would have been ideal, but given the starting price of this series, one can live with 60 Hz.
You get a choice of 13th generation Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 CPUs for the Asus Expertbook P1. Our unit had a Core i7 13620H processor with 16 GB DDR5 5200 MHz RAM. You get either 512 GB or 1 TB SSD storage options and there are two M.2 slots to add extra NVMe storage. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics chip gets the job done when using office apps like Word, Excel, Powerpoint or their counterparts from other developers, and it's good enough for day to day tasks like browsing, email and watching videos.

Connectivity options are pretty good for a compact laptop, starting with two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports with power delivery (one can use USB-C chargers with them), an HDMI 1.4 port, a 3.5 mm audio jack, one RJ45 LAN port and a Kensington lock. The laptop also supports dual-band WiFi 6 (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.4. It is fitted with a 50 Wh 3-cell Lithium Polymer battery and a 65W fast charger is bundled along.
Things were quite smooth when using the laptop for streaming videos or browsing the internet with more than a dozen tabs open, or simply doing my usual work that mainly involves writing and basic image editing. All in all, we quite liked what the Asus Expertbook P1 offered overall. The P1 can be purchased starting from Rs 39,990 for the Intel Core i3 variant, while the Expertbook P3 and P5 start at Rs 64,990 and Rs 94,990 respectively.

While the Expertbook series laptops have excellent portability and sufficient processing power, neither of them are meant for serious gaming. If that's what you are looking for, jump to the next section.

The AniMe Vision LED lid and 360-degree RGB lightbar add to the cool quotient. The ROG Strix Scar 16 and 18 laptops will be available starting at Rs 379,990 and Rs 449,990 respectively.
The ROG Strix G16 has a relatively minimalistic design and is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX coupled with 32 GB DDR5 RAM, 1 TB SSD and NVIDIA RTX 5070Ti GPU. It has a 16-inch 2.5K ROG Nebula display with 240 Hz refresh rate. This gaming laptop too has the tool-less design with SSD Q-latch for easy upgrades, along with RGB accents and vapor chamber cooling. The Strix G16 (2025) will be made available with the RTX 5080 GPU too but in limited quantities. The pricing starts at Rs 259,990.

Last but arguably the most interesting product of the lot, the ROG Flow Z13 is a 2-in-1 gaming machine that combines the power of a laptop and the portability of a tablet, and can be used as either. It is powered by an AMD Ryzen AI Max 390 processor with 50 TOPs AINPU performance, 32 GB LPDDR5X unified RAM running in quad-channel configuration and comes with 1 TB SSD storage.
The ROG Flow Z13 is a 2-in-1 gaming machine
It has a 13.4-inch 2.5K ROG Nebula touchscreen display with 180 Hz refresh rate and 3 ms response time. A 170-degree kickstand, detachable RGB keyboard, and advanced cooling courtesy of a redesigned vapor chamber and dual 2nd Gen Arc Flow fans make it a great option for creators and gamers on the move. The new ROG Flow Z13 is priced at Rs 199,990 in India. We will look to dive deeper into some of these ROG models once we get them for review.

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 .
