Asus has published a detailed overview of its upcoming ExpertBook P5 laptop with the latest Intel Lunar Lake processors. However, the company persistently avoids mentioning Intel Lunar Lake or any specific chip. Instead, the processor is described as "Next-Generation Intel Core Ultra" with 45+ TOPS NPU power.
Officially introduced at Computex last month, Intel Lunar Lake processors feature an NPU that offers 48 TOPS and exceeds Microsoft's minimum requirements for Copilot+ PC. In fact, the Lunar Lake platform provides up to 120 total TOPS.
The minimalist modern design of the Asus ExpertBook P5 professional laptop includes "durable high-quality military-grade aluminum" and a "thin 2.5K 144Hz display with anti-glare coating." Despite the advertised durability and power, the ExpertBook P5 (P5405) weighs only 1.3 kg.
Asus product pages usually include a specifications tab (as well as awards and support tabs), but there is currently no complete set of specifications for the new laptop. There is a large section on the Intel processor on the page—although Lunar Lake is not mentioned.
The new Asus ExpertBook P5 will feature up to 32GB of RAM and up to 3TB of solid-state storage (with dual SSD slots, 1TB presumably soldered on the board). A range of security features underline the device's professional characteristics. Users will be protected by biometrics, Asus Adaptive Lock infrared camera, discrete TPM 2.0, webcam, and Kensington Nano security slot. This laptop will come with Windows 11 Pro and Wi-Fi 7.
Asus claims that the ExpertBook P5 (P5405) will be released in the second half of 2024, with preliminary data pointing to the third quarter. One thing is for sure, Intel will seek to attract partners to create Lunar. The laptop will have to compete with new laptops featuring Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite and AMD Ryzen AI 300 processors.
