ASUS ExpertBook with Ryzen 7 is on sale for 17.5 thousand. It has expandable RAM and a free slot for another SSD

You don’t have to choose a work laptop based solely on its default configuration. The ASUS ExpertBook P3 G2, in addition to Ryzen 7, also has free slots for memory and storage, leaving room for later expansion. The PM3406CHA-R716512 variant is now available on Czech Alza for 17,490 CZK with code ALZADNY35. The seller states a regular price of 26,908 CZK.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense for: work between the office and home, where you’ll use the backlit keyboard, fingerprint reader, and wired network connection.
⚠️ Consider: a display with 45% NTSC coverage is not a suitable basis for work requiring accurate colors.
💡 You’ll need to sort out the charger and system installation yourself. Therefore, this offer makes more sense for someone who already has suitable power supply and their own operating system solution.

Memory and storage don’t have to remain in their basic form

Inside, an AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS with eight cores and a maximum clock speed of 5.1 GHz is at work. It is accompanied by 16 GB of DDR5 memory and a 512GB SSD. Graphics are handled by the integrated Radeon 780M, not a dedicated graphics card.

For long-term use, the configuration is important: only one of the two memory slots is occupied, and the same applies to the two M.2 positions. When you run out of space for documents or work projects, you can add another SSD and keep the original drive in place. RAM also has room to grow without immediately needing to replace the existing module.

The display is more suitable for documents than photo editing

The fourteen-inch IPS panel has a resolution of 1920 × 1200 pixels and an aspect ratio of 16:10. The larger workspace is useful for reading documents or browsing longer spreadsheets. The surface is anti-glare, the refresh rate is 60 Hz, and the brightness is 300 nits. This is equipment focused more on regular indoor work than on outdoor use in the sun.

You can connect a monitor and network cable directly

At your workstation, you can use HDMI for a monitor and RJ-45 for a wired network, without the need for adapters for these connectors. The keyboard has Czech and Slovak descriptions. The laptop weighs 1.54 kg, and its construction, according to parameters, uses both metal and plastic, even though the offer title states “metal”.

The battery has a capacity of 70 Wh and charges via USB-C with USB PD support. When choosing a power supply, you don’t have to rely on a proprietary connector; ensure compatibility with USB PD and the specified 65 W charging power. A suitable adapter is an accessory that needs to be sorted out for this offer before the first power-on.

Is the option to add RAM and another SSD crucial for you when choosing a laptop?
