ASUS unveils ExpertBook B5 Flip G2 and P5 G2 range at Computex
ASUS has taken the wraps off three new additions to its ExpertBook commercial laptop line at Computex 2026: the convertible B5 Flip G2, the Intel-powered P5 G2, and the AMD-powered PM5 G2. The machines are positioned at enterprise buyers, SMB leaders and hybrid workers, with availability in the United States expected in late Q2 and Q3 2026.
The ExpertBook B5 Flip G2 is a 14-inch 360-degree convertible running on an Intel Core 7 350 processor with an 18 TOPS neural processing unit. It supports up to 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory and up to 1 TB of PCIe 4.0 SSD storage, weighs 2.95 lbs and connects via dual Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, HDMI 2.1 and Wi-Fi 7. A garaged MPP 2.0 stylus is included, with a 15-second rapid charge delivering up to 60 minutes of use.
Performance tiers and AI capabilities
The P5 G2 and PM5 G2 are offered in 14-inch and 16-inch configurations. The Intel variant tops out with a Core Ultra 7 356H (Series 3) rated at 50 NPU TOPS, while the AMD PM5 G2 reaches 55 NPU TOPS via an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470. Both exceed Microsoft's 40 TOPS threshold for Copilot+ PC certification, enabling on-device features including real-time language translation, intelligent document retrieval and workflow automation through the Windows AI layer. The P5 G2 supports up to 96 GB of DDR5 memory via self-upgrade and dual PCIe 4.0 SSD slots, providing headroom for data-heavy workloads.
ASUS bundles its MyExpert unified AI platform across the range, covering AI Chat, a knowledge hub, writing assistance and meeting tools including AI noise cancellation and automated camera framing. ASUS did not publish independent benchmark results or third-party validation for any of the stated AI performance figures.
Security stack and enterprise compliance
All three models are built around ASUS ExpertGuardian, which the company says includes a NIST SP 800-193-compliant BIOS, Windows 11 Secured-core, FIDO2 authentication, discrete TPM 2.0 and dual-BIOS failover for firmware recovery. NIST SP 800-193 is the Platform Firmware Resiliency guideline that federal agencies and regulated enterprises increasingly treat as a baseline procurement requirement. Physical security measures include chassis-intrusion detection, a webcam shield and a Kensington Nano lock slot. All models carry a three-year manufacturer warranty and a five-year commitment to security updates.
Market context
The enterprise laptop segment is being rapidly reshaped by the Copilot+ PC category, which Microsoft formalised in 2024 and which has since prompted Qualcomm, Intel and AMD to accelerate NPU roadmaps. Competing commercial ranges from Dell (Latitude AI series), HP (EliteBook Ultra) and Lenovo (ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13) are similarly emphasising on-device AI and firmware security as key differentiators for procurement teams navigating tightened IT security policies.
For enterprise IT buyers, the NIST SP 800-193 compliance claim and the five-year security-update commitment are likely to carry more weight than raw NPU TOPS figures, particularly in regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare and government contracting where supply-chain firmware integrity is under increasing scrutiny following guidance from CISA and the UK's National Cyber Security Centre. ASUS has not disclosed pricing for any of the three models, which limits direct competitive comparison at this stage. Pricing and channel availability details are expected closer to the respective launch windows.
