Performance scores
The 2024 efficiency flagship, unseen by the graphics axes
The ASUS ExpertBook P5 (5405) is a 2024 business machine: an Intel Core Ultra 5 226V with Intel Arc 130V integrated graphics and 32GB of memory at $1,007. The sheet reads reliability at 86 — a hundred-two percent above the class median, top-quartile — and the processor at 83.94, also top-quartile, as the strengths; the graphics column reads zero, the recorded weak axis.
The zero that needs a translator
The Arc 130V is a current-generation integrated GPU — capable of light gaming and real media acceleration — but the scoring pipeline has no matched entry for it, and the absence stores as zero. The honest reading is unmeasured-by-these-axes, not incapable: the capability sheet is empty not because the silicon fails bars but because the bars predate it. What is measured is excellent: the Lunar Lake platform's efficiency story shows in a reliability reading that doubles its class, and the processor placing at 83.94 backs the compute side completely.
The thousand-dollar club arithmetic
At $1,007 the ticket joins this batch's three-seat ExpertBook cluster. Against the P1 at the same number — the 2024 i3 platform with 64GB — this seat trades the memory ceiling for the newer platform and the stronger processor. Against the P5 (P5405) with the 155H at the same ticket, the differentiation is thinner: engine tier against efficiency tier, with identical reliability stories. The buyer at this number is buying years and efficiency; the green sheets belong to other shelves.
No depreciation anchor
No release-price anchor is recorded; the platform convention runs near eleven percent per year. The 2024 platform's curve is young; the reliability reading is the argument for booking the rest of it.
Positioning against the aisle
No recorded analogs fall within the comparison band. The within-family seats at the identical ticket frame the trade; the graphics-capable buyer at this money shops the T14 Gen 4's MX550 listing instead.
Bottom line
A fairly-priced efficiency-first business flagship with top-quartile longevity and processor readings and a graphics column the pipeline cannot yet read. Buy it for office and battery-native work on current silicon; treat the zero as a coverage note, and the workload's GPU needs as the diligence item.
