ASUS Expertbook P2451

The pandemic has changed the world, now most of the professionals are working from home and their best companion is a powerful business machine.

Asus brings ExpertBook P2451, a slim and light business laptop, upgrade over the previous-gen (P2440).

I have been using the ExpertBook for the past few weeks, so, herein we’ll see how it performs in the real world.

Build Quality

The notebook is built with aluminium alloy, which makes it light as well as strong. Graded with MILSPEC 810-G certification, it is durable enough to handle accidental drop and spills. It has a thin profile of only 19.9mm and weight around 1.5 kg. It can be easily carried around in a bag or hand.

It got a matte finish on the top which gives a premium look and protects from fingerprints and smudges. Asus uses ErgoLift hinge that can lie back in 180 degrees.

14-inch FHD display

The slim and light laptop has a 14-inch FHD screen, but that’s not meant for content creators. The screen is fine but not what a professional would like to work upon. It comes with colour accuracy (only 46% sRGB), average brightness level (~190 nits) and a contrast ratio of 70:1.

The black images go faint on it, from any angle you can try for that. Being a business laptop, it should have an FHD with wide viewing angles but again disappointing. Even if you slightly turn the screen left or right, the image goes dull.

Performance

Packed with powerful specs, the ExpertBook is a fast laptop with more than enough performance for the average professional tasks. While using the PC for more than a month, I run various applications which we typically use to perform our day-to-day tasks. No doubt, it manages all the applications perfectly without any performance lag while surfing the Internet, watching videos and playing games.
