It’s more than just the sleek aesthetics that impressed as I tested the AI-enhanced Asus ExpertBook Ultra (2026) business laptop

On the surface, this is an executive-level AI-powered 14-inch laptop, designed for professional use. In reality, it's a laptop powerhouse that features the latest Intel Core Ultra 7X processor and Arc B390 GPU that powered through every work-based application I threw at it, with all the backing of AI enhancement. Throughout these tests, this stunning laptop didn't fail to impress from design to performance, but it was the incredible transfer rates offered by the internal SSD that truly hinted at the potential within. AI-enhanced applications work at speed natively, really highlighting that the future of computing has arrived, and even the integrated GPU packs more power than expected.
