The device has an ultra-thin and light design, with measurements of 10.9 mm and 1.09 kg. The frame is made from aerospace-standard aluminum-magnesium alloy. The Nano Ceramic coated case has a hardness of 9H, which, in addition to aesthetics, also helps prevent scratches and fingerprints better than bare aluminum material.

ExpertBook Ultra also achieves durability that allows it to survive in some harsh conditions. Compared to the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 using carbon material, the device has the same weight but is thinner. Compared to the 14-inch Macbook Pro, which weighs 1.6 kg and is 15.5 mm thick, ExpertBook Ultra is superior in portability.

The screen uses a dual-layer Tandem OLED touch panel, 14 inches in size with 3K resolution, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus tempered glass combined with anti-reflective Gorilla Matte coating.

Asus says Tandem OLED helps reduce power consumption by up to 40% compared to traditional OLED, prolongs usage life, and helps achieve a maximum HDR brightness of 1,400 nits - three times more than standard OLEDs, which are usually only 500 nits. Practical experience, the screen has wide viewing angles, almost absolute black and is easy to use outdoors, without reflection.

This is one of the first laptops equipped with Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processor with the highest configuration using Core Ultra X9 388H. The version sold in the first phase in Vietnam uses Core Ultra X7 358H, CPU performance is 20% higher than the previous generation. Intel Arc B390 integrated graphics achieves the same performance as Nvidia RTX 4050 Mobile discrete GPU.

The 3rd generation Core Ultra processor has an integrated NPU performance of 50 TOPS, at the highest level of Copilot+ PC standards with the ability to maximize local processing AI task acceleration. Asus also equips the product with an AI toolkit with interactive control features, automatic recording, content summarization, document translation and online meeting optimization.
