ASUS has officially unveiled the ASUS ExpertBook Ultra at the Next Enterprise Summit 2026, introducing what it describes as its most advanced AI-powered business laptop to date. Presented before more than 1,000 industry leaders, enterprise partners and technology experts, the launch marks a significant milestone in the evolution of commercial computing as businesses increasingly embrace AI-driven workflows and digital transformation. Designed for modern professionals, executives and enterprise users, the ExpertBook Ultra combines powerful performance, intelligent computing and exceptional mobility in a device weighing just 0.99kg.

Positioned as a flagship Copilot+ PC, the ASUS ExpertBook Ultra is engineered to meet the demands of today’s highly mobile workforce. Despite its ultra-lightweight form factor, the laptop delivers uncompromised performance through the integration of the latest Intel Core Ultra X7 Series 3 processor, advanced AI capabilities and a heterogeneous computing platform that combines CPU, GPU and NPU technologies. ASUS has further enhanced performance with a revolutionary thermal architecture capable of sustaining up to 50W CPU power, ensuring consistent productivity without throttling even during intensive workloads.

Crafted from aerospace-grade AZ31B magnesium-aluminum alloy, the ExpertBook Ultra features an ultra-slim 10.9mm profile and is recognised as the world’s smallest-footprint 14-inch laptop. The device incorporates ASUS Nano Ceramic Technology for superior durability, delivering scratch and wear resistance significantly above industry standards. Despite its slim design, the laptop houses a large 70Wh battery capable of delivering up to 26 hours of battery life, making it an ideal companion for professionals constantly on the move.

Performance remains one of the key highlights of the new flagship. ASUS claims the laptop’s integrated Intel Arc B390 graphics can outperform the NVIDIA RTX 4050 at 30W TGP, while high-speed PCIe Gen 5×4 storage and 9600 MT/s memory bandwidth ensure rapid data processing and multitasking capabilities. The device is also designed to operate quietly, maintaining near-silent performance during everyday use.

The ASUS ExpertBook Ultra further distinguishes itself with a premium multimedia experience. It features a 14-inch 3K Tandem OLED touchscreen display with a 120Hz variable refresh rate, peak HDR brightness of 1,400 nits and anti-glare Gorilla Glass Matte technology. Combined with a six-speaker Dolby Atmos audio system, the laptop offers an immersive visual and audio experience suitable for both professional and creative workloads.

Security and AI integration are also at the core of the ExpertBook Ultra experience. The laptop includes ASUS’ subscription-free MyExpert AI suite, featuring tools such as AI ExpertMeet and Knowledge Hub to enhance productivity and collaboration. Enterprise-grade security features include compliance with the NIST SP 800-193 BIOS resilience standard, dual BIOS protection, biometric authentication via fingerprint and facial recognition, and a physical webcam shield, ensuring comprehensive protection for business users handling sensitive information.

During the launch event, ASUS executives highlighted the device as a response to the evolving needs of today’s workforce. ASUS Co-CEO S.Y. Hsu described the ExpertBook Ultra as the company’s definitive vision for the future of work, while industry partners Intel and Microsoft emphasised the benefits of AI-powered productivity, advanced security and on-device processing capabilities. ASUS also showcased the laptop’s appeal to modern professionals who require powerful computing performance without sacrificing portability or style.

Available in Malaysia starting from RM7,999, the ASUS ExpertBook Ultra can be customised with Intel Core Ultra X7 Series 3 processors to suit varying business requirements. To celebrate its launch, customers purchasing the device between 10 June and 31 July 2026 will receive a complimentary RM500 Malaysia Airlines eGift Card, adding further value for professionals who frequently travel for work.

With its combination of AI-enhanced computing, premium design, enterprise-grade security and powerful performance, the ASUS ExpertBook Ultra represents a bold step forward in business mobility. As organisations increasingly adopt AI-powered solutions, ASUS aims to position the ExpertBook Ultra as the ultimate business companion for professionals seeking innovation, reliability and productivity without compromise.
