Pros and Cons

Asus ExpertBook P5

Strengths

The expert book P5's keyboard is well built with decent travel on HK strike
It has a physical IDing privacy Shadow, which I do like having rather than a digital or software one
The expert book P5 does rather well in GPU performance, making it suitable for calculations and work that involve leveraging the GPU
It has full Windows app compatibility, which is an advantage over co-pilot plus PCs running on arm

Weaknesses

The design of the ExpertBook P5 is not exactly fancy, as it's a business-centric model with an AI focus
The battery life of the ASUS X P5 is still quite disappointing, despite being decent for most purposes
It doesn't live up to ASUS's hefty battery life promises, which claimed up to 28 hours of battery life
While avoiding arm compatibility issues, it doesn't compete with the best co-pilot plus PCs running on arm in terms of battery life

Acer Nitro V 16

Strengths

A competent gaming and productivity laptop
Good display
Efficient internals
Impressive frame rate in games like Cyberpunk and Tomb Raider
Consistent performance in single-core workloads like Cinema 4D R23
Decent battery life is implied (not explicitly mentioned but can be inferred from the text)
Has potential for good performance if thermals are managed better

Weaknesses

Struggles with build quality
Poor thermal management holds back CPU performance
Thermal performance limits Ryzen 5 processor's capabilities
GPU power limited to 95W, which is lower than the competition
Performance in single-threaded workloads like Chromium Compile is disappointing
Build quality and thermal issues make it hard to recommend
Positioning within Acer's lineup is confusing and unclear

Asus ExpertBook P5

The ASUS ExpertBook P5 is designed with business laptop buyers in mind, eschewing flashy design for a more sedate look. Powered by an Intel Core i7-285v processor and 32GB RAM, it's positioned as a co-pilot plus PC. With a focus on AI integration and full Windows app compatibility, this laptop aims to deliver improved performance without sacrificing battery life. We'll explore how well it achieves these goals in our review.

Acer Nitro V 16

The Acer Nitro V 16 is a gaming laptop that promises to deliver competent performance, but its build quality and thermal management are questionable. With an efficient interior, good display, and a Ryzen 5 processor, it's unclear why the CPU is held back by poor thermals. The power-limited GPU also raises confusion, making this laptop's identity and purpose within Acer's lineup uncertain.
