Display

It features an immersive 14-inch 3K (2880 x 1800) Tandem OLED anti-glare touchscreen display that claims to drastically extend the lifespan of the panel, reduce power consumption by 40% and achieve up to 1400 nits of peak HDR brightness, HDR 1000 True Black, 133% sRGB coverage and offers 144 Hz variable refresh rate. It also features Nano-Etching, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus Matte low reflection anti-glare glass for clear visuals.

Audio

The laptop includes a premium 6-speaker spatial audio system, featuring dual-magnetic woofers and dedicated tweeters tuned for Dolby Atmos. With an impressive peak loudness of 95 dB, the Asus ExpertBook Ultra is designed for vivid virtual engagements with deep bass and clear vocals.

Connectivity and Ports

The laptop has a good spread of high-speed ports that include 2x Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports, 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, full-size HDMI 2.1 port and a 3.5 mm jack. It also sports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 antennas directly onto 3D plastic carriers integrated into the exhaust vents, claiming to improve the 5 GHz and 6 GHz signal efficiency by up to 43 per cent.

Battery backup

The laptop is fitted with a high-density 4-cell 70 Wh battery claiming to deliver up to 26 hours of battery backup. It can be paired with a 90W USB-C fast charger for briskly charging the battery to 50% in just 30 minutes. It supports full-range (5V to 24V) charging capabilities to be powered even by mobile power banks and airplane chargers, ensuring users stay productive in long flights and on the move.

Durability and Security

Asus claims that the laptop has been rigorously tested for 24 MIL-STD-810H procedures across 11 categories, along with 157 additional in-house validations like 50,000 hinge test cycles, 25 kg panel pressure and 355 cc spill-resistant keyboard, ensuring it survives most high-stakes environments.

I personally inflicted more than a bit of torture on the Expertbook Ultra during the launch like emptying half a bottle of water on the keyboard, dropping it from three feet, holding it by the display and even standing on it (yes, you read that right). I may have felt a pang of guilt doing all that to a laptop that I generally look upon with reverence, but thankfully, it survived all of that with ease.

Beyond the physical front, the company promises bulletproof enterprise security with Asus ExpertGuardian. It offers layered firmware protection with NIST SP 800-193 compliance, Match-on-Chip Fingerprint, IR Cameras, Discrete TPM 2.0, Secured Core PC, dual self-healing BIOS, chassis intrusion detection and Microsoft Pluton Security.

AI-Productivity Tools

With up to 180 total system TOPS and a dedicated NPU with 50 TOPS, Asus ExpertBook Ultra is designed to integrate (in the near future) Asus MyExpert1 AI suite, which enables execution of heavy LLM inference, real-time translation and generative AI tasks. You also get Asus ExpertMeet for meetings with dual-array mics with AI noise cancellation and AI-camera for noise reduction, fixing gaze and more.
