Intelligence analysis by GPT-5.4 Mini
ASUS used Computex to show a broad Windows laptop refresh, led by the 2.9-pound ExpertBook B5 Flip G2 convertible. The lineup also includes new Zenbook 14, ExpertBook P5/PM5, and Vivobook Flip models with Intel, AMD, and Snapdragon options.
ASUS made a new laptop that can fold all the way around, like a notebook cover turning into a tablet. It is light enough to carry around easily, and it has a pen that can live inside the laptop and charge there too.
Think of it like a backpack with lots of pockets. This one has different kinds of openings for plugging things in, so it can connect to screens, drives, and other gear without needing extra adapters.
ASUS also showed other laptops with different computer brains inside them. Some are made for work, some for drawing or taking notes, and some are built to last a long time on battery.
Analysis
What ASUS announced
ASUS unveiled several Windows laptops at Computex, including a new ExpertBook B5 Flip G2, an ExpertBook P5 G2 / PM5 G2 business lineup, three Zenbook 14 variants, and Vivobook S14 Flip and S16 Flip models.

ExpertBook B5 Flip G2 details
The ExpertBook B5 Flip G2 is a 360-degree convertible that can be used in laptop, tablet, tent, and display modes. ASUS says it includes dual cameras and ships with an MPP 2.0 stylus that stores and charges in a built-in garage. The company says 15 seconds of charging can provide 60 minutes of pen use.
Under the hood, it uses Intel's Core 7 350 processor with an 18 TOPS NPU and integrated graphics, paired with up to 32GB of LPDDR5X memory and 1TB of PCIe 4.0 storage. ASUS also says it offers all-day battery life and rapid charging. The laptop weighs 2.9 pounds and includes two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, one HDMI 2.1 port, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, and an audio combo jack. ASUS says it will arrive in Q3 2026, with pricing to come later.
Broader lineup
The ExpertBook P5 G2 and PM5 G2 come in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes and are aimed at tougher business use, with MIL-STD-810H claims for exposure to vibration, moisture, and high temperatures. The Vivobook Flip models focus on thin, flexible consumer machines with 2K OLED touchscreens, Snapdragon X chips, and battery life that ASUS says exceeds 20 hours.
Key points
- ASUS introduced the ExpertBook B5 Flip G2, a 2.9-pound 360-degree convertible laptop.
- The laptop uses Intel's Core 7 350, up to 32GB of memory, and up to 1TB of PCIe 4.0 storage.
- It includes a built-in stylus garage, dual cameras, and ports such as two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C connections.
- ASUS also announced new Zenbook 14, ExpertBook P5/PM5, and Vivobook Flip models.
- Pricing for the new laptops was not announced, and some models will ship later in 2026.
If ASUS delivers on the battery and weight claims, the ExpertBook B5 Flip G2 could be an easy carry for people who move between meetings, travel, and note-taking. The built-in stylus garage and flexible hinge could make it more practical than a standard clamshell for business users.
The price is still unknown, so the laptop could end up too expensive for its class. It also arrives in Q3 2026, which leaves time for competing business convertibles to narrow the appeal before launch.
