ASUS ExpertBook series guide

Where the ExpertBook line stands in 2026

ASUS's business lineup covers 9 models in our catalog, 2021 to 2026, priced $686 to $1,300 with a median of $1,007 — and every row carries a listing price. These are proper corporate ultrabooks: 14 to 16 inches, 0.99 to 1.75 kg, RAM ceilings 32 to 64 GB, and (with one early exception) integrated graphics throughout. The family's pricing ladder is the cleanest you will meet in a business line — five model years, five price steps, almost no noise.

The configuration spread

The CPU counts are led by Core Ultra 7 (8 configurations) and Core Ultra 5 (6), with Core i5 and Core i7 covering the 2021–2023 rows — the modern half runs Meteor Lake and Lunar Lake chips (Core Ultra 5 226V, 225H, Core Ultra 7 155H), and the 2026 ExpertBook Ultra moves to the Core Ultra 5 325. Graphics are all integrated: Arc 130T on three 2025 rows, Arc 130V and 8-core Arc integrated on the 2024 pair, Iris Xe on the OLED B9, with one legacy exception — a GeForce MX330 in the 2021 B1. Screen tech is where the family flexes: the B9 carries an OLED panel, per its name.

Price versus age

The ladder is almost perfectly monotonic: 2021 at $686, 2023 at $886, 2024 at a flat $1,007 across three rows, 2025 at a flat $1,144 across three, and 2026 at $1,300. That is roughly $120–160 per year with zero inversions — within the 2024 and 2025 tiers, price again tracks the generation, not the chip, since B3/B5/P5 trims ask identical money. There is no bargain year here; there is only the question of how new a platform you need.

Which one to buy

The strongest all-round row is the ExpertBook P5 P5405 (2024, $1,007, Core Ultra 7 155H + Arc integrated 8-core) — the roster's top CPU badge at mid-family money. The ExpertBook B9 OLED (2023, $886, Intel Core 5 120U + Iris Xe) is the pick if screen quality is the priority and the CPU can be merely fine. The ExpertBook B5 B5405 (2025, $1,144, Core Ultra 5 225H + Arc 130T) is the modern-platform default, and the ExpertBook B1 B1500 (2021, $686, Core i3 1115G4 + GeForce MX330) is the budget floor — the only row with a discrete GPU, though a very small one.

Bottom line

Across the roster the profile is a strong business ultrabook: best CPU median 83.9 — the highest compute reading this roster's own numbers can post — plus energy efficiency 90, mobility 80, portability 72.8 and reliability 85, all top-tier for a work machine. The trade-off is the expected one: best GPU median 0, gaming index 19 and zero games clearing recommended settings at the median configuration. USComp Score 52 reflects that office-first balance. The summary: a disciplined, steadily-priced family — buy the 2024 Ultra 7 row at $1,007 for the best CPU-per-dollar, the OLED B9 for media work, and step to 2025–2026 only for platform freshness.
