ASUS Announces ExpertBook P5 G2 and B5 G2 Now Available for
ASUS launched the ExpertBook P5 G2, PM5 G2, and B5 G2 on June 23, 2026, integrating AI-driven NPUs with up to 55 TOPS for professional workloads. These devices feature NIST SP 800-193-compliant security and the MyExpert AI platform to support small-to-medium businesses and enterprise professionals, according to an official company announcement.
How do the AI capabilities of the ExpertBook P5 and PM5 differ?
The primary difference between the two models lies in their processing architecture and neural acceleration. According to ASUS, the ExpertBook P5 G2 uses an Intel Core Ultra 7 Processor 356H (Series 3) providing up to 50 NPU TOPS. In contrast, the ExpertBook PM5 G2 utilizes an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX processor, which delivers up to 55 NPU TOPS of dedicated neural acceleration.
This 5-TOPS difference allows the PM5 G2 to handle slightly more complex AI-driven tasks locally. Both models are available in 14-inch and 16-inch configurations and start as light as 3.04 lbs to support hybrid work environments.
What security standards do the new ExpertBooks meet?
All three models—the B5 Flip G2, P5 G2, and PM5 G2—are protected by the ASUS ExpertGuardian security suite. ASUS states these devices are NIST SP 800-193 compliant, meaning the firmware can detect threats, block intrusions, and automatically recover trusted firmware versions to reduce downtime.
The hardware security stack includes several layers of protection:
- Authentication: Fingerprint sensors integrated into the power button and FIDO2 authentication.
- Encryption: Discrete TPM 2.0 for hardware-level data encryption.
- Physical Privacy: Physical webcam privacy shields.
- System Resilience: A dual BIOS system that backs up and restores firmware if corruption occurs, and chassis-intrusion detection to flag physical tampering.
According to the company, these measures combine with Windows 11 Secured-core technologies to provide government-grade dependability for corporate users.
How does the B5 G2 support enterprise-scale workloads?
The ExpertBook B5 G2 targets large organizations requiring scalable solutions. It runs on the Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 3 processor with a 50 TOPS NPU. ASUS claims the B5 G2 can provide up to 19 hours of battery life, positioning it as an all-day tool for heavy multitasking and data-heavy workloads.
The device features a 16:10 NanoEdge anti-glare display in 14-inch or 16-inch sizes. For communication, it uses Dirac-enhanced audio and AI voice processing to clear background noise during calls. ASUS also announced that the B5 Flip G2, featuring a 360-degree flippable design for tablet and tent modes, will arrive in the U.S. in Q3 2026.

What is ASUS MyExpert and how does it change workflows?
ASUS MyExpert is an integrated AI platform designed to act as a personal assistant. According to the company, the software includes an AI Chat interface and a searchable Knowledge Hub to reduce manual administrative work. It also provides AI-assisted writing and email tools.
The platform extends to hardware optimization during meetings. AI noise cancellation removes background distractions, while an AI-powered camera automatically adjusts lighting and framing. These features are intended to keep professionals focused on core tasks rather than technical adjustments during presentations.
