ExpertBook Ultra: Feather-light, dazzling finish
21 Jul
Summary
- Features a dazzling nano-ceramic finish on a magnesium-aluminum alloy frame.
- Weighs only 2.18 pounds and measures just over half an inch thick.
- Hinge issue noted, but production models reportedly fixed.
The Asus ExpertBook Ultra showcases a striking nano-ceramic finish atop its magnesium-aluminum alloy frame, delivering a premium tactile experience. This matte Morn Grey color option provides a sophisticated alternative to standard laptop aesthetics.
Weighing a mere 2.18 pounds and measuring just 0.65 inches thick, the ExpertBook Ultra offers remarkable portability with a 91% screen-to-body ratio on its 14-inch display. The laptop's thin profile minimizes body flex.
Initial testing revealed minor design quirks, including stiffness that prevents one-handed opening and a camera shutter that can catch on the touchpad. Additionally, the hinges were found to be somewhat weak when the screen was opened past 90 degrees, causing the lid to drop. Asus has confirmed these issues have been resolved in production units.
