ASUS has opened sales of the ExpertBook Ultra (B9406CAA) on its US store, positioning the laptop as the flagship of its business line. Weighing just 2.43 lb and measuring 0.43 in thick, the Jet Fog model arrives with an Intel Core Ultra X7 Series 3 CPU and a starting price of $3,599.99. The device targets mobile professionals who need a blend of elegance and raw compute power.

The machine packs up to 50 TOPS of neural‑processing capability, letting AI‑heavy workloads run alongside traditional office apps without a hitch. ASUS ExpertCool Pro keeps the 50 W TDP processor cool and quiet, while a 70 Wh battery promises all‑day endurance. A 3K OLED touchscreen, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, reaches 1,400 nits, delivering vivid visuals for design work and video calls.

Security receives a quantum‑ready upgrade: ExpertGuardian enforces NIST‑aligned firmware protection and embeds post‑quantum cryptography algorithms such as ML‑KEM and ML‑DSA. Meanwhile, the MyExpert AI suite adds natural‑language assistance, document summarization, and automatic meeting transcription, streamlining daily workflows for enterprises.

Configuration options will expand later in 2026, adding a Morn Grey chassis and a higher‑end Intel Core Ultra X9 variant. Early adopters now have a laptop that merges AI acceleration, premium build quality, and enterprise‑grade safeguards into a truly portable package.
