Asus Launches ExpertBook Ultra in India With On‑Device AI for Business

Preorders begin in India, signaling Asus's bet that local AI features will win over business buyers.

Overview

  • The ExpertBook Ultra, launched in New Delhi on Wednesday, starts at Rs 1,49,990 with preorders open now and sales beginning April 29 through Flipkart and authorised retailers.
  • Powered by Intel's Core Ultra X9 Series 3 chip that combines CPU, GPU, and a neural processor, the laptop is billed as a Copilot+ PC built to run AI tasks locally with a claimed peak of 180 TOPS.
  • Asus says the 990‑gram, 10.9‑mm chassis meets MIL‑STD 810H with 24 test categories, and it claims long‑life hinges and an outer panel designed to withstand heavy pressure.
  • A 3K OLED screen with up to 1400‑nit HDR brightness is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus with a matte, anti‑reflective finish, and the system supports Wi‑Fi 7 and Intel Arc graphics.
  • Configurations include up to 64 GB LPDDR5x memory and a 70 Wh battery that Asus rates for up to 19 hours, launching as the PC market faces tighter DRAM supply from AI datacenter buildouts.
