ASUS Previews Intel's "Lunar Lake" Platform with ExpertBook P5 14-Inch Laptop

[AleksandarK]

ASUS has revealed its upcoming ExpertBook P5 laptop, set to debut alongside Intel's highly anticipated "Lunar Lake" processors. This ultrabook aims to boost AI-capable laptop market, featuring an unspecified Intel Lunar Lake "Core Ultra 200V" CPU at its core. The ExpertBook P5 boasts impressive AI processing capabilities, with over 45 TOPS from its Neural Processing Unit and a combined 100+ TOPS when factoring in the CPU and GPU. The NPU provides efficient processing, with additional power coming from Lunar Lake's GPU with XMX cores, featuring the Xe2 Battlemage architecture. This is more than enough for the Copilot+ certification from Microsoft, making the laptop debut as an "AI PC." The ExpertBook P5 offers up to 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory running at 8333 MT/s, up to 3 TB of PCIe 4.0 SSD storage with two drives, and Wi-Fi 7 support.

The 14-inch anti-glare display features a 2.5K resolution and a smooth 144 Hz refresh rate, ensuring a premium visual experience. Despite its powerful internals, the ExpertBook P5 maintains a solid profile weighing just 1.3 kg. The laptop is housed in an all-metal military-grade aluminium body with a 180-degree lay-flat hinge, making it both portable and versatile. ASUS has also prioritized cooling efficiency with innovative technology that optimizes thermal management, whether the laptop is open or closed. Security hasn't been overlooked either, with the ExpertBook P5 featuring a robust security ecosystem, including Windows 11 secured-core PC framework, NIST-155-ready Commercial-Grade BIOS protection, and biometric login options. While an exact release date hasn't been confirmed, ASUS is preparing ExpertBook P5 and other Lunar Lake-powered laptops to hit the market in the second half of 2024.

I find it a bit infuriation to call a Device with basically no iO at all and no numpad "Expertbook".
"Insufficientbook" would be a better name. This is basically only good for watching spreadsheets and nothing else.

It's not meant to do anything else, it's a style statement not a functional piece of kit.

2xUSB-A, 2xThunderbolt/USB-C and what looks like either HDMI or a Displayport. Plus 3.5mm audio. In this segment that is not too bad in terms of IO. I think it pretty much matches what is provided by competitors such as Macbook Pro.

Thunderbolt is the most versatile port available.

Nothing wrong with the IO. Plus dual M.2 slot is good to have.

How is this a "preview" of Lunar Lake? Is it a prototype or what?

If you need a numpad, then 14’ laptop aren’t really targeted at you tbh. Gotta look at the 15,6’ at the minimum.

A 14' laptop would have room for everything and the kitchen sink. It just wouldn't be very portable.

THAT is super funny. However, it may need some explaining. An inch should be be as ", so 14" would be correct.

What was written was 14' which would is 14 feet. Like you said, not portable!!

That joke went over my head,haha I had to settle for ‘ because “ looked different when I was writing, and it didn’t get fixed when I post. It seems that you gotta change le language of the smartphone keyboard uh. Eng= ”” fr= « «

Rare to find: small laptop with 2.5k or better and MATTE display and sensible port collection. I've been wanting to upgrade my ASUS UX305 for a long time and this *might* be a suitable candidate, although I would prefer a 3K+ screen, otherwise I am downgrading my ability to read PDF print-ready documents and my overloaded excel spreadsheets.

Maybe an RV kitchen sink, or what the brits like to call them, caravans, or the Germans, Wohnmobil.

I'm actually highly anticipating Lunar Lake release. I want Intel's new tile approach and nodes to work. AMD needs to keep on its toes. Lunar Lake so far sounds good in early leaks in performance and efficiency and I hope ARM enjoyed it's 2s in the sun.

A nice 13.3-14" 2-in-1 with 120Hz OLED screen, and either Lunar Lake or Strix Point would be great.
