| Asus ExpertBook P3 G2 gets new Intel powered 14 and 16 inch models |
Asus has officially announced the expansion of its business laptop lineup with the new ExpertBook P3 G2, now available in both 14-inch and 16-inch variants. This latest release introduces Intel processor options to the series, complementing the AMD-powered models that launched earlier in January 2026.
The move gives professionals more flexibility when choosing a workhorse laptop, as the Intel-equipped P3 G2 joins the recently announced Intel-powered ExpertBook B3 G2. While both models share screen size options, the P3 G2 offers distinct hardware configurations tailored for business users who demand performance and reliability.
Performance and Hardware Specifications
Under the hood, the ExpertBook P3 G2 can be configured with up to an Intel Core 7 Series 3 processor. While Asus has not yet disclosed the specific processor model details, early indications suggest these chips are designed to handle intensive multitasking and demanding applications with ease. The laptops support high-speed DDR5 memory and PCIe 4.0 SSD storage, ensuring fast boot times and snappy performance. Asus has also implemented a thermal design intended to maintain stable performance during long workloads, making these laptops suitable for extended productivity sessions.
For memory and storage, the P3 G2 comes equipped with two SO-DIMM slots that support up to 64 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM—a significant advantage for professionals running virtual machines or large datasets. Storage options include an M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 slot and a secondary M.2 2230 slot. Asus offers up to 1 TB of storage in the second slot, which users can upgrade to up to 2 TB, providing ample space for local files and applications.

Design and Durability
Both the 14-inch P3406CMA and 16-inch P3606CMA models share a similar sleek design, finished in a professional Misty Grey color. Asus says both laptops meet MIL-STD-810H durability standards, ensuring they can withstand the rigors of daily commutes and field work. The keyboard features 1.5 mm of key travel for a comfortable typing experience, while the touchpad has been enlarged compared to previous designs, improving usability for navigation and gestures.
Security and Software
Security remains a top priority for the ExpertBook line. Asus ExpertGuardian includes a NIST SP 800-155-compliant BIOS, TPM 2.0, and five years of Asus BIOS and driver updates to protect against evolving threats. A nano Kensington lock slot provides physical security, and a one-year McAfee+ Premium subscription is also included for added peace of mind.
