ASUS Business has officially launched the ASUS ExpertBook Ultra at Next Enterprise Summit 2026. The launch event, attended by over 1,000 industry leaders, enterprise partners, and technology luminaries from across Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, and New Zealand.
Boldly positioned as “The Flagship of the Industry. Period,” this Copilot+ PC defies physics. At just 0.99 kg, its aerospace-grade chassis integrates the latest Intel Core Ultra X7 Series 3 processor, a powerful GPU, and advanced NPU into a single AI computing platform. With a revolutionary 50W thermal design and benchmark-shattering PCIe Gen 5×4 storage, the ExpertBook Ultra exceeds competing flagships, serving as a robust data execution hub and a premium statement piece for modern executives.
ASUS ExpertBook Ultra Core Highlights:
- A Featherlight Heavyweight: Crafted from aerospace-grade AZ31B magnesium-aluminum alloy through precision CNC machining, it weighs a mere 0.99 kg with an ultra-thin 10.9 mm profile. ASUS ExpertBook Ultra is also the world’s smallest footprint 14.0-inch laptop. The chassis features a 9H-hardness ASUS Nano Ceramic Technology surface treatment, delivering scratch and wear resistance five times higher than the industry standard. Even in such a slim and light weight device, ASUS still manages to incorporate a 70Wh battery for up to 26 hours of battery life.
- Unrivaled 50W Sustained CPU Performance: Powered by the ASUS ExpertCool Pro thermal Technology and up to Intel Core Ultra X7 Series 3 Processor, it sustains an astonishing 50W CPU TDP (Thermal Design Power) without throttling. Its integrated Intel Arc B390 graphics delivers higher graphics performance than NVIDIA RTX4050 at 30W TGP. It can also maintain near-silent operation in whisper mode (under 20dB). Coupled with a massive 9600 MT/s memory bandwidth and a PCIe Gen5x4 SSD, it achieves class-leading performance, with read speeds up to 5 times faster and write speeds up to 1.6 times faster than a Gen 4 x4 SSD.
- The Pinnacle of Audio-Visual Experience: Pioneering the global market with a 14-inch 3K (2880×1800) touchscreen Tandem OLED display that drastically extends panel lifespan, reduces power consumption by 40%, and achieves 1400 nits of peak HDR brightness with 30-120Hz Variable Refresh Rate display. Paired with ultra-low reflection anti-glare glass, the Gorilla Glass Matte, and a 6-speaker Dolby Atmos spatial audio system for absolute immersion.
- Haptic Touchpad and Complete I/O Ports: ASUS is committed to delivering the best possible input experience for users. The ASUS ExpertBook Ultra features a 1.5 mm key-travel, spill-resistant keyboard for comfortable typing, along with a precisely tuned haptic touchpad that is so intuitive and accurate; you may not need an external mouse at all. The I/O selection is also highly comprehensive, with one USB Type-C and one USB Type-A port on each side of the laptop, as well as a standard HDMI 2.1 port and a combo audio jack.
- Enterprise-Grade AI & Bulletproof Security:
Integrates the subscription-free MyExpert AI suite (featuring AI ExpertMeet and a local Knowledge Hub). Hardware-level security is further reinforced by compliance with the NIST SP 800-193 BIOS resilience standard, along with a self-healing Dual BIOS ROM backup, a physical webcam shield, and dual biometric authentication through fingerprint and IR facial recognition. Compliance is independently validated by SGS Brightsight Singapore, specialised cybersecurity evaluation lab.
