Hands On With the Asus ExpertBook Ultra: This Charismatic Business Laptop Forgot to Be Boring

LAS VEGAS—At first glance, the Asus ExpertBook Ultra looks almost too restrained to be interesting—a whisper-thin, buttoned-up business laptop that seems content to disappear quietly into a briefcase or portfolio. Then you pick it up, flip it open, and realize hey, something's going on here. This 2.1-pound (0.99-kilogam) machine is improbably light, barely thicker than a stack of business cards, yet it’s loaded like a no-compromises flagship: a full array of ports, a powerful new Intel Core Ultra 300-series CPU ("Panther Lake," also new at CES 2026), premium materials that feel closer to aerospace than office supply, and a display so good it invites direct comparisons to Apple’s best.

Apple Reportedly Set for 'Imminent' Launch of M5 Pro, M5 Max MacBook Pros

Apple will reportedly soon launch MacBook Pros with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. As Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports, the new models, codenamed J714 and J716, will retain the current MacBook Pro’s design but deliver faster processors. The last MacBook Pro update came with the base M5 chip for the 14-inch variant in October. Gurman doesn’t provide an exact timeline for the release of the upgraded models, but says they are expected to coincide with the rollout of macOS 26.3 in February or March. Signs of an "imminent" launch, however, include reduced supply and delayed shipping of existing top-end MacBook Pros. This is typical when Apple nears a launch, and the company may already be stocking its warehouses with the new models, he adds.

This Asus laptop is available for under Rs 30,000, and it can reach your home in under 5 minutes

Think about this- you are a freelancer juggling multiple projects at once. Deadlines are piling up, client calls are lined up back to back, and your entire workday depends on one thing working properly- your laptop. Then, without warning, the screen goes blank and shows no signs of revival. A few years ago, this would have triggered full panic mode. You would grab your phone, rush to the nearest electronics store, and hope they had a decent laptop in stock that also fit your budget. More often than not, you would end up settling for something just because you needed it immediately.
