Asus Expertbook Ultra review: Premium laptop with a mix of fun for business users
Last Updated: 2026-06-23 11:52:04
Asus makes both affordable and premium laptops but its business lineup has been underwhelming so far. The Expertbook Ultra is looking to change that perception in a grand way, offering the best of its premium models but with the enterprise market in its sights.

Asus Expertbook Ultra offers premium design and rugged durability- 3K OLED matte display reduces glare, features 120Hz refresh rate
- Premium specs, loud speakers, all-day battery for pros
These are still going to cost you a premium but the allure of an eye-catching design along with rugged durability is hard to discount, especially when you get it with the top-end hardware.

The brand has also added the oomph of better audio output and packed it with a 3K OLED display. All this sounds exciting but how does the product work out for its price and functionality? Here’s the answer.
As premium as they come

Asus has made some premium-looking notebooks in recent years and the Expertbook Ultra is an easy pick for that list. The ceramic front panel, the sleek design, and extremely lightweight body gives you the ideal mix of portability and comfort.
But Asus also makes sure this Expert is durable, and by that we mean, handle coffee/juice splashes on the keyboard, feel your weight and still work without any hiccups.
You can even test the ports on the laptop and feel confident about its overall value in the long term. All the efforts put by Asus for the new Ultra model, they work and that too quite well.
Smashing it bright
Asus has offered OLED displays on most of its models but the Expertbook Ultra goes a level further by reducing the biggest con of the panel. This device gets a matte finish on the 3K OLED display which not only gives you the sharpness of the screen but negates the obvious glare that you get while viewing.
Granted, making it matte does take some sheen off the display but the benefits far outweigh this change and we don’t mind it. You get it served with 120Hz refresh rate which is an understated feature of laptop displays and premium models deserve it in their full glory. The screen has been heavily built to keep it durable and not wither at the slightest bump or fall.
The other niceties
Asus is also making sure that some of the less heralded parts of a business laptop are also taken care of. The speakers on the Expertbook Ultra are surprisingly loud and the brand has made sure the placement of the tweeters enhance the on-device sound output and overall experience.
We even got a close door demo of its ability, and compared with other so-called business notebooks the difference became immediately obvious, well in favour of the Asus model. The audio is crisp, and rich and even the bass impact will have most people impressed for its form factor.
The keyboard on the Expertbook Ultra is also catering the travel and feedback needs of those running the business. You type on it, and the feeling is mostly comfortable and tuned to how people demand. It is not very deep but not hanging out either. The right level of travel gives you the click sound without filling deep.
The track pad is nicely spaced out and the glass finishing does give you a smoother flow. And yes, in terms of the ports, Asus has not skimped on the important ones. You get the full set of USB C/Thunderbolt ports, HDMI and the headphone jack.
Everything works
Asus sent us the high-spec version of the Expertbook Ultra and fair to say the performance aspect of the notebook will never leave you wanting for extra power. The Intel Core Ultra X7 processor has been tuned to focus on the basics and have enough in the tank in case the extra load is needed every now and then. The brand has models going up to 2TB in SSD storage and 64GB of memory.
We highly expected the Expertbook Ultra to face the heat because of the hardware built into the compact body. But the overall performance as well as the thermal levels were more than encouraging in most situations. Going for the faster storage and memory parts (for the price) also gives you better raw benchmark results that are far higher than the usual models.
Goes the last mile
And yes, Asus is making sure the laptop is not just going to run full throttle but also get the right kind of endurance to make it last the day and some more.
We got the Expertbook Ultra powered on from early in the morning, putting the device to sleep for an hour, and having it running for the whole day with ease. The bundled charger also makes it easy to fuel up the laptop in quick time and serves the portability quotient further.
Asus Expertbook Ultra is by no means your run-of-the-mill business laptop and that also tells you about the evolution of this segment, and why should only the basic models have all the fun. Having said that, the price tag of the model also shows you why Asus is only eyeing a special kind of consumer.
