+ Uitzonderlijke prestaties-per-watt
+ Krachtige Arc geïntegreerde graphics
+ 2,8K 120Hz OLED
+ Zeer licht 1,11 kg
+ Sterke selectie van poorten
Contra
- Waarschijnlijk dure prijs

- Geïntegreerde GPU nog steeds iGPU
De Asus ExpertBook Ultra B9406CAA is een 14-inch business ultrabook gebouwd rond Intel's Core Ultra X7 358H Panther Lake platform met Arc B390 geïntegreerde graphics. Het combineert 32 GB LPDDR5X-8533 geheugen, een 2 TB Samsung PM9E1 SSD en een 2880×1800 OLED-scherm dat draait op 120 Hz met HDR en adaptieve synchronisatie. De recensenten plaatsen het apparaat gemiddeld in de hoogste 80, waarbij de critici de ongewoon sterke graphics en efficiëntie voor deze dunne en lichte klasse benadrukken. Connectiviteit is een hoogtepunt, met USB4/Thunderbolt 4, HDMI en dubbele DisplayPort ondersteuning naast Wi-Fi 7 en Bluetooth 6.0. De laptop richt zich op mobiele professionals met een batterij van 70 Wh, Windows 11 Pro, IR-webcam met sluiter, vingerafdruklezer en een Dolby Atmos-installatie met zes luidsprekers. De belangrijkste nadelen zijn de eersteklas positionering en het niet-upgradebare gesoldeerde geheugen.

Asus ExpertBook Ultra recensie: Een fantastisch debuut voor Intel Panther Lake X7 | Notebookcheck
Asus en Intel beginnen het jaar sterk met het debuut van de Core Ultra X7 358H. Hoewel het technisch gezien een zakelijke laptop is, zijn zowel de grafische prestaties als de prestaties-per-watt waanzinnig voor een 14-inch vormfactor.

The Asus ExpertBook Ultra is a gorgeous ultra-thin laptop that houses a killer Intel Panther Lake processor

We've reviewed some good ExpertBook laptops before, but the Ultra takes the line to a whole new level. This laptop's built and specified to compete with the big hitters of the thin-and-light form factor; laptops like the old Dell XPS 13, HP EliteBook X, and MacBook Air. The fact that it can go toe-to-toe with any of them, even beating them in areas, shows exactly how strong this laptop is. It's a premium device with pricing to match, and so out of reach of some businesses and budgets, but if you're in the market for a high-end ultraportable the ExpertBook Ultra is up there with the best.

It’s more than just the sleek aesthetics that impressed as I tested the AI-enhanced Asus ExpertBook Ultra (2026) business laptop
Bron: Techradar EN→NL
On the surface, this is an executive-level AI-powered 14-inch laptop, designed for professional use. In reality, it's a laptop powerhouse that features the latest Intel Core Ultra 7X processor and Arc B390 GPU that powered through every work-based application I threw at it, with all the backing of AI enhancement. Throughout these tests, this stunning laptop didn't fail to impress from design to performance, but it was the incredible transfer rates offered by the internal SSD that truly hinted at the potential within.

This "Business" Laptop Beats the MacBook Pro! // ASUS ExpertBook Ultra
Bron: Matthew Moniz
In this review, I test the new Intel® Core™ Ultra X7 Series 3 processor and the insane Intel Arc B390 iGPU to see if Intel is truly back. From a Tandem OLED display that makes the MacBook look dull to 1080p gaming benchmarks that shouldn't be possible on a thin-and-light, this laptop changes everything.

Asus ExpertBook Ultra review: Panther Lake makes it fly
Bron: PC World EN→NL
The Asus ExpertBook Ultra is a solid premium business laptop and a significant escalation of Asus’ profile in the space. It’s attractive and light, it has a great keyboard and touchpad, and it offers an easy-to-view matte OLED display. Intel’s Core Ultra X7 358H, meanwhile, delivers great marks across the board with good multi-core CPU performance and outstanding integrated graphics performance. I can find a couple nitpicks. The battery life is just mediocre and the webcam is merely adequate. But in these areas the laptop is competitive—it just doesn’t stand out.

ASUS ExpertBook Ultra Laptop Review
Bron: CG Mag Online EN→NL
The PC landscape is changing fast, and users will have to adjust their expectations. That doesn’t mean lowering them. The ASUS ExpertBook Ultra proves that. We’ve reached a point where an ultra-lightweight business machine can go toe-to-toe with mid-range gaming rigs. The ExpertBook Ultra won’t be cheap, but even at a premium, it will still be a compelling business solution and likely a more affordable, durable alternative to a dedicated gaming laptop. The ExpertBook Ultra is only 14 inches, but it’s going to be huge. ASUS has put together something special and done the unthinkable: made a Copilot+ Device that can finally compete with a MacBook. The ASUS ExpertBook Ultra is one of the most exciting flagship ultrabooks in years. Beautiful, durable, and high-performance, it’s equally capable of handling professional workflows or facilitating covert gaming sessions at the office.

Asus comes to CES 2026 with an 'Ultra' ExpertBook built for the modern worker
Bron: It Pro EN→NL
When it comes to naming devices, hardware vendors generally use either 'Pro' or 'Ultra' to indicate the most premium model. And it's the latter for Asus and its all-new ExpertBook Ultra, unveiled at CES 2026. As part of a wider refresh of its main brands (Zenbook, VivoBook, ProArt, and ROG), the ExpertBook Ultra replaces the B9 as the top commercial offering from Asus. And as the name suggests, it's a laptop with all the best specs the hardware giant can offer; it's ultra durable, ultra fast, ultra cool, and ultra reliable (according to Asus, that is). Toughness is one of the main selling points here. The Ultra is made for modern work and the wear and tear of doing your job in different places.
