The laptop’s display is a standout feature. It offers a 14‑inch WQXGA+ (2880 × 1800) OLED panel in two configurations — a Tandem OLED with up to 600 nits’ brightness (1400 nits HDR peak) or a standard OLED with 450 nits’ brightness (1000 nits HDR peak)
Asus’s presence in the enterprise notebook segment has long been established through its ExpertBook Series. Year after year, the updates have been incremental yet consistently add meaningful improvements for the enterprise community. The latest flagship in the ExpertBook lineup—the ExpertBook Ultra—was recently up for review, and here is my detailed take on the device.
Sleekness is what defines the ExpertBook Ultra in one word. The Asus ExpertBook Ultra is impressively lightweight, starting at just 1 kg. Its compact footprint — 12.24 × 8.38 × 0.43 to 0.65 inches — makes it exceptionally portable, fitting easily into slim backpacks or briefcases. Despite its thin profile, the chassis feels sturdy and premium, reflecting Asus’s commitment to durability and professional design. This balance of portability and build quality makes the ExpertBook Ultra a compelling choice for frequent travellers and executives who need power without the bulk.
The laptop’s display is a standout feature. It offers a 14‑inch WQXGA+ (2880 × 1800) OLED panel in two configurations — a Tandem OLED with up to 600 nits’ brightness (1400 nits HDR peak) or a standard OLED with 450 nits of brightness (1000 nits HDR peak). Both versions are Pantone Validated, support 100 per cent DCI‑P3 colour gamut, and feature Corning Gorilla Glass Victus with a matte finish for durability and reduced glare. The 91 per cent screen‑to‑body ratio ensures an immersive viewing experience.
The screen has zero to no screen flex, making it easy to open the laptop lid with one finger. Watching The Rest Is Football talk show on Netflix with Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards was an interesting premise test for the laptop, Interestingly, the Tandem OLED gets contrast right; however, while watching the Witcher –the characteristic of Tandem OLED paired with a matte display, tends to shift deep blacks towards deep greys, which is very subtle and not noticeable to regular users. Still, the display is the best implementation of Tandem OLED so far, before next year’s rumoured MacBook’s with Tandem OLED.
The colour of the unit I reviewed was ‘morn grey’, which was an ideal colour around the monochrome cubicle spaces in the office. There is a small light strip on the bottom side of the display panel that lights up when switching on, shutting down and more.
Audio performance is impressive, featuring six built‑in speakers and Dolby Atmos support, complemented by an array microphone for clear voice capture. The sound from the two top firing speakers and two downward tweeters on the laptop secretly makes this laptop a great post work laptop to listen to music. Additionally, when paired with the Tandem OLED screen is a match made in heaven. The soundstage was quite encompassing, and fine details in the instruments were evident in AR Rehman’s Deewaana Deewaana from Tere Ishq Mein. The loudness was good but not great; however, the speakers delivered good output at full volume without breaking.
Connectivity is robust, featuring two Thunderbolt 4 ports supporting USB4, display output, and power delivery, (one on each side), alongside two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type‑A ports, an HDMI 2.1 TMDS, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Expansion is supported via one M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 slot. There is also a USB-Ethernet dongle is included in the box for secure corporate ethernet connectivity.
The keyboard offers 1.5 mm key travel for comfortable typing, paired with a haptic touchpad that enhances precision. The keys gave a good amount of tactility and felt quite tactile while typing long reviews. The glass trackpad comes close to the Macbook and at times felt a little too sensitive but has a good amount of trackpad rejection to make up for it. The keyboard backlight has three levels and supports well for some short sprints of writing sessions at night.
Powering the ExpertBook is the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H, featuring 16 cores and 16 threads with speeds up to 4.8 GHz, paired with 64 GB RAM and 2TB SSD. Both variants include the Intel AI Boost NPU, delivering up to 50 TOPS of AI performance for accelerated computing and intelligent workloads.
Graphics are handled by either the Intel Arc B390 or integrated Intel Graphics, ensuring smooth visuals for creative and professional tasks.
In synthetic Benchmarks, the ExpertBook scored 449 on CPU Single threads and 2484 on multithreads, placing it around 9th place after the Apple M2 chip and the Intel Core Ultra 9 288V. This performance makes it a great machine for office applications and AI applications using the 64 GB RAM to boot.
Pre‑installed software includes MyASUS, ASUS MyExpert. MyASUS provides tools like Link to MyASUS, WiFi SmartConnect, and Battery Health Charging, while MyExpert adds productivity features such as File Search, ExpertMeet, and Knowledge Hub.
In terms of Security, the Expertbook is packed to the brim with enterprise level security in the form of ASUS ExpertGuardian with NIST SP 800‑193 compliance, TPM 2.0, Microsoft Secured‑core PC, and Pluton Security Processor. Additional protections include Intel Boot Guard, BIOS Guard, firmware resilience, and self‑recovery mechanisms. Biometric authentication is supported via both IR webcam and fingerprint sensor.
Battery life is powered by a 70 Wh 4‑cell Li‑ion pack, designed for longevity and efficiency. Charging is handled through a 90 W USB‑C adapter, supporting universal voltage input.
The laptop was easily able to easily able to handle 8-10 hours of light work like browsing, document work, and listening to music. With slightly heavier workloads like AI calculations and a bit of light gaming. It lasts around 2 to 2.5 hours under sustained AI workload and the occasional light gaming.
The ExpertBook Ultra is the best refinement of the ExpertBook series over the year and demands a premium for the audience that it is meant for–C-Suite and corporate power users. With a great display, good performance and great specs to boot. The ExpertBook Ultra falls in the same class as the Apple MacBook Pro, Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, HP EliteBook X, Dell XPS 14. The high price, somewhat average battery and the matte display which feels sort of grainy for non-enterprise customers. But if you are in the market for a premium enterprise laptop, then the ExpertBook Ultra is one of the best choices out there.
Price: ₹2,39,990 onwards.
Pros: Ultra-light premium design, excellent Tandem OLED display, powerful enterprise-grade performance and security.
Cons: Expensive, average battery under heavy loads, matte finish slightly mutes crisp black.
