Wi-Fi 6 vs Wi-Fi 5: Is It Time to Upgrade Your Business Network?

£726.96 inc. VAT
AI-generated summary
For £536 ex‑VAT, the ASUS ExpertBook P1 is the kind of sensible “get work done” business laptop I like for day-to-day office use: lots of web apps, MS 365, Teams, light file work, and the usual admin grind. The 14" size is practical for desks *and* travel, and the build/brand positioning (ExpertBook, not consumer Zenbook) generally means fewer headaches with drivers, BIOS, and business management than no-name bargain kit. If your staff want something reliable that won’t feel underpowered within the first year, this fits.
That said, I wouldn’t buy it if your users regularly do heavier tasks like video editing, big data crunching, or expect a high-performance “multitask monster” feel—this isn’t aimed at power users, more at steady productivity. Also, check the typical business-buying gotcha: whether 16GB will be enough for your workload now and in 12–24 months. If you’re standardising on this for a workforce, it’s a decent value option, but if you know certain roles are memory-hungry, you’ll want to spec higher (or at least plan for upgrades) rather than forcing everyone onto a one-size-fits-all machine.
