ASUS ExpertBook Ultra Lands in the Philippines from ₱129,995 with Tandem OLED and Core Ultra

ASUS has brought the ExpertBook Ultra business laptop to the Philippines, with pricing that starts at ₱129,995 and climbs to ₱215,991 for the top configuration. Announced locally on July 1, 2026 and reported by NoypiGeeks and Unbox PH, the ExpertBook Ultra pitches a premium 14-inch Tandem OLED display and Intel's latest Core Ultra silicon inside a sub-1kg chassis aimed at professionals.

Key Takeaways

• The ASUS ExpertBook Ultra is now available in the Philippines starting at ₱129,995.
• It features a 14-inch 3K (2880x1800) Tandem OLED at 120Hz with up to 1,400 nits HDR peak brightness.
• The build is under 1kg and roughly 11mm thin, with MIL-STD-810H durability certification.
• Powered by Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) chips with an AI Boost NPU for Copilot features.
• A 70Wh battery is rated for up to 26 hours, with 90W USB-C fast charging.

Display and design

The headline feature is the 14-inch Tandem OLED panel at 2880x1800 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. ASUS quotes up to 1,400 nits of HDR peak brightness (600 nits standard) and says the dual-layer design delivers roughly three times the brightness while drawing about 40% less power than a conventional OLED. Unbox PH notes the panel also carries a Gorilla Glass matte coating, touchscreen support, and full 100% DCI-P3 coverage, making it suited to color-sensitive work as well as everyday productivity.

Despite the high-end screen, the ExpertBook Ultra weighs less than a kilogram and measures under 11mm thick. NoypiGeeks reports it is rated to MIL-STD-810H military-grade standards after passing 24 durability tests, and uses ASUS Nano Ceramic Technology for scratch and stain resistance, an unusual toughness claim for a machine this thin and light.

Performance, ports, and AI

Inside, the laptop runs Intel's Core Ultra (Series 2) processors, up to a Core Ultra X7 358H with up to 50W TDP, plus an Intel AI Boost NPU to power Copilot and ASUS' own MyExpert AI tools for meetings and workflow. Connectivity is generous for a thin-and-light: two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, HDMI 2.1, a headphone jack, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 6.0, plus a six-speaker Dolby Atmos setup. Cooling runs through triple air vents with what ASUS describes as quiet fans. A 70Wh battery is rated for up to 26 hours, and 90W USB-C charging refills to 50% in about 30 minutes. Business security covers a webcam privacy shield, fingerprint login, dual BIOS, and TPM 2.0.

Philippine pricing

ASUS is offering several configurations. Note a discrepancy between local outlets on the base chip: Unbox PH lists the entry model with a Core Ultra X5 338H, while NoypiGeeks lists a Core Ultra 5 325 for the same tier.

• ₱129,995 — base model, 16GB LPDDR5X RAM, 512GB SSD
• ₱185,995 — Core Ultra X7 358H, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD (Windows 11 Home)
• ₱193,995 — Core Ultra X7 358H, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD (Windows 11 Pro)
• ₱215,991 — Core Ultra X7 358H, 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD

Who it is for

At these prices the ExpertBook Ultra is a premium pick for executives and mobile professionals who want an ultraportable that does not compromise on screen quality or endurance, rather than a mainstream buy. It slots in above ASUS' consumer and gaming lines locally, joining recent Philippine launches like the ASUS ROG Strix G16 and G18. It also lands in a crowded thin-and-light AI PC race against machines such as Microsoft's Snapdragon X2 Surface refresh.
