ASUS Launches ExpertBook Ultra in the U.S. With AI-Focused Features and Enterprise Security
ASUS has officially launched the new ExpertBook Ultra in the United States, expanding its premium business laptop lineup with a device aimed at executives, enterprise users, and professionals seeking advanced AI capabilities in a lightweight design. The ASUS ExpertBook Ultra (B9406CAA) is now available through the ASUS online store, positioning itself as the flagship model in the company’s ExpertBook portfolio.
Designed for modern business environments increasingly shaped by AI-driven workflows, the laptop combines high-end performance, enterprise-grade security, and an ultrathin form factor intended for professionals who work across offices, remote settings, and frequent travel schedules.
ASUS Targets AI-Powered Professional Computing
According to ASUS, the ExpertBook Ultra is built around Intel’s latest Core Ultra Series 3 processors, offering up to 50 TOPS (trillions of operations per second) of neural processing unit performance. The hardware is intended to support AI-assisted workflows such as content summarization, real-time translation, advanced multitasking, and business productivity tools.
Shawn Chang, General Manager of ASUS North America’s System Business Group, said the company designed the laptop for users who expect both portability and high performance.
Intel Core Ultra Platform Drives AI Performance
The new system is powered by Intel Core Ultra X7 Series 3 processors, targeting enterprise users running demanding workloads, including business analytics, collaboration platforms, and AI-assisted applications.
ASUS said the laptop’s thermal management is handled through its ExpertCool Pro cooling system, which supports up to 50W thermal design power while maintaining quieter operation during intensive workloads. That combination is increasingly important for hybrid workers and executives using video conferencing, AI applications, and productivity software simultaneously.
Lightweight Design Built for Business Travel
The ExpertBook Ultra weighs approximately 2.43 pounds and measures just 0.43 inches thick, placing it among the lighter premium business laptops currently available in the U.S. market.
Magnesium-Aluminum Chassis Adds Durability
The chassis uses a magnesium-aluminum alloy with Nano Ceramic technology and CNC precision engineering, which ASUS says improves structural durability while keeping the device lightweight. The material carries a 9H hardness rating intended to resist scratches and everyday wear.
The laptop is currently available in a Jet Fog finish, while an additional Morn Grey color configuration is expected later in 2026.
For connectivity, ASUS includes two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports positioned on opposite sides of the laptop, along with a full set of business-oriented I/O ports designed to reduce reliance on adapters and docking accessories.
A 70Wh battery is also included to support extended productivity during travel and long work sessions.
OLED Display and Audio Features Aim for Premium Experience
ASUS equipped the ExpertBook Ultra with a 3K tandem OLED touchscreen designed for both productivity and media consumption.
High-Brightness OLED Screen Targets Hybrid Work Environments
The display delivers up to 1400 nits of HDR brightness, making it suitable for varied lighting conditions, including bright office environments and travel use. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus with a matte finish intended to reduce glare and improve viewing comfort.
The laptop also includes a haptic touchpad and a six-speaker audio system tuned with Dolby Atmos. ASUS says the setup includes dual-magnetic woofers and dedicated tweeters designed to improve video calls, presentations, and streaming media.
ASUS Adds AI Productivity Features Through MyExpert Suite
A major focus of the ExpertBook Ultra is ASUS MyExpert, the company’s integrated AI productivity platform built specifically for business workflows.
The software includes tools for natural-language PC assistance, document summarization, translation, writing refinement, and integrated file searches across local and cloud storage.
Meeting Intelligence Features Expand Collaboration Tools
The platform also introduces AI-powered meeting features capable of generating transcripts, summaries, translations, and follow-up task lists automatically. ASUS says the goal is to streamline collaboration and reduce administrative workload for teams operating in remote and hybrid work environments.
As U.S. businesses continue increasing investments in workplace AI tools, laptop manufacturers are racing to integrate on-device AI processing into premium productivity hardware.
Enterprise Security Focus Includes Post-Quantum Protections
Security remains a key selling point for enterprise customers, particularly as businesses face increasing cyber threats and stricter compliance standards.
ASUS said the ExpertBook Ultra uses its ExpertGuardian security architecture, developed in alignment with NIST SP 800-193 firmware resiliency guidelines. The system is designed to prevent unauthorized firmware changes, detect malicious activity, and restore trusted firmware automatically when necessary.
Post-Quantum Cryptography Support Added
The laptop also incorporates post-quantum cryptography protections into its firmware layer, including support for NIST-aligned ML-KEM and ML-DSA algorithms. These technologies are intended to help organizations prepare for future cybersecurity threats tied to advances in quantum computing.
Pricing and Availability
The ASUS ExpertBook Ultra (B9406CAA-XSP76T) is now available for purchase in the United States through the ASUS Store.
The configuration featuring the Intel Core Ultra X7 Series 3 processor is priced at $3,599.99 and currently comes in the Jet Fog color option. ASUS says the lighter Morn Grey version is expected to become available toward the end of the second quarter.
With its combination of AI acceleration, lightweight construction, premium display technology, and enterprise security features, ASUS is positioning the ExpertBook Ultra as a high-end option for business professionals seeking next-generation mobile computing capabilities.
