ASUS Business Philippines Launches ASUS ExpertBook Ultra: The Flagship of the Industry. Period. The AI-Powered Business Laptop Built for CEOs and Executives

 

The ASUS ExpertBook Ultra arrives in the Philippines as a sub-1kg AI Business Flagship that Delivers an Unprecedented 50W of Uncompromised Power in defining next flagship business standard.

In an age of accelerating digital transformation and the relentless rise of AI-driven workflows, the very definition of a business laptop is being redefined. Modern professionals, prosumers, and enterprise leaders no longer see laptops as mere operating expenses or basic work tools. Instead, they expect them to function as mission-critical productivity hubs, powerful data-processing engines, and seamless gateways to AI integration. Above all, they demand a machine that matches their dynamic, modern, and highly mobile lifestyles without compromising on performance in any way.

Today, at a spectacular grand launch at the Grand Ballroom of Okada Manila, attended by over 1,200 industry leaders, enterprise partners, and technology decision-makers, ASUS unequivocally answered this demand by unveiling the ASUS ExpertBook Ultra. ASUS Co-CEO Mr. Samson Hu made his inaugural visit to the Philippines to personally lead the launch, joined by ASUS Vice President & APAC Commercial General Manager Mr. Rex Lee, and spearheaded locally by ASUS Business Philippines' Business Development Manager Francis Avila. Setting a bold target for the ASUS Expert Series to become the number one commercial PC brand in the Philippines by 2028, Mr. Hu revealed that the local commercial business has grown by 85%, now accounting for 27% of ASUS' total business in the country.

Boldly positioned as "The Flagship of the Industry. Period," this Copilot+ PC defies the established laws of physics. Encased in a featherlight 0.99 kg aerospace-grade chassis, it seamlessly integrates the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra X9 Series 3 processor, an incredibly powerful GPU, and an advanced NPU into a single heterogeneous AI computing platform. Driven by a revolutionary 5a0W sustained thermal design and benchmark-shattering PCIe Gen 5x4 storage, the ExpertBook Ultra doesn't just meet the standards of competing flagships—it shatters them. Meticulously engineered, it serves as a robust data execution hub and a premium statement piece for the modern executive.

ASUS ExpertBook Ultra Core Highlights:

• A Featherlight Heavyweight: Crafted from aerospace-grade AZ31B magnesium-aluminum alloy through precision CNC machining, it weighs a mere 0.99 kg with an ultra-thin 10.9 mm profile. ASUS ExpertBook Ultra is also the world’s smallest footprint 14.0-inch laptop. The chassis features a 9H-hardness ASUS Nano Ceramic Technology surface treatment, delivering scratch and wear resistance five times higher than the industry standard. Even in such a slim and light weight device, ASUS still manage to incorporate a 70Wh battery for up to 26 hours of battery life.

• Unrivaled 50W Sustained CPU Performance: Powered by the ASUS ExpertCool Pro thermal Technology and up to Intel Core Ultra X9 Series 3 Processor, it sustains an astonishing 50W CPU TDP (Thermal Design Power) without throttling. Its integrated Intel Arc B390 graphics delivers higher graphics performance than NVIDIA RTX4050 at 30W TGP. It can also maintain near-silent operation in whisper mode (under 20dB). Coupled with a massive 9600 MT/s memory bandwidth and a PCIe Gen5x4 SSD, it achieves class-leading performance, with read speeds up to 5 times faster and write speeds up to 1.6 times faster than a Gen 4 x4 SSD.

• The Pinnacle of Audio-Visual Experience: Pioneering the global market with a 14-inch 3K (2880x1800) anti-glare touchscreen Tandem OLED display that drastically extends panel lifespan, reduces power consumption by 40%, and achieves 1400 nits of peak HDR brightness with 30-120Hz Variable Refresh Rate display. Paired with ultra-low reflection anti-glare glass, the Gorilla Glass Matte, and a 6-speaker Dolby Atmos spatial audio system for absolute immersion.

• Haptic Touchpad and Complete I/O Ports: ASUS is committed to delivering the best possible input experience for users. The ASUS ExpertBook Ultra features a 1.5 mm key-travel, spill-resistant keyboard for comfortable typing, along with a precisely tuned haptic touchpad that is so intuitive and accurate, you may not need an external mouse at all. The I/O selection is also highly comprehensive, with one USB Type-C and one USB Type-A port on each side of the laptop, as well as a standard HDMI 2.1 port and a combo audio jack.

• Enterprise-Grade AI & Bulletproof Security: Integrates the subscription-free MyExpert AI suite (featuring AI ExpertMeet and a local Knowledge Hub). Hardware-level security is further reinforced by compliance with the NIST SP 800-193 standard, along with a self-healing BIOS, a physical webcam shield, and dual biometric authentication through fingerprint and IR facial recognition.

Industry Leaders Endorse a New Standard of Excellence

The launch event served as a powerful declaration of industry leadership, with top executives taking the stage to establish the ExpertBook Ultra as the new insurmountable benchmark in the commercial PC market.

"The ExpertBook Ultra is the absolute pinnacle of ASUS engineering and our definitive answer to the future of work," said Mr. Samson Hu, Co-CEO of ASUS, during his keynote. "We engineered this device with zero compromises. We understand that tomorrow's business leaders require an AI-powered machine that thinks and operates as fast as they do, wrapped in a design that exudes elegance. This is the undisputed flagship of the industry."

Wendy Gurra at Intel, emphasized the hardware synergy: "The ExpertBook Ultra perfectly unleashes the 50 TOPS of computing power from our latest NPU. This unprecedented processing capability ensures that professional users have the raw performance required to drive the most demanding AI-driven business applications with unmatched efficiency."

No Scripts. Top Executives Tried ASUS ExpertBook Ultra for Three Weeks and Gave One Verdict.

Before the launch, ASUS Business Philippines gave three of the country's most respected executives three uninterrupted weeks with the ExpertBook Ultra — no scripts, no briefings, no expectations. What they came back with were not endorsements. They were verdicts.

Lito Villanueva, EVP & Chief Innovation & Inclusion Officer of RCBC and Founding Chairman of Fintech Alliance PH and Asia FinTech Alliance, has spent his career demanding more from technology — and from the institutions that adopt it. After three weeks, his assessment was direct:

"The best technology should make people feel more capable, not more overwhelmed. The ExpertBook Ultra brings powerful features — from AI performance to enterprise-grade security — into a device that still feels simple and practical to use."

From an executive at the intersection of finance, innovation, and digital transformation, that is not a compliment lightly given.

Two other executives echoed the same verdict in their own way. Jacqueline Guiterrez, Co-Founder & CEO of Happy Skin Cosmetics and BLK Cosmetics, put it simply: "I like things that do their job — works when you say it should work." And Dindo Marzan, SVP and Head of SME Business Group of Converge ICT Solutions, summed it up just as directly: "It can really go with the speed that we have in processing." Watch the executive testimonial from Mr. Villanueva, Mr. Marzan and Ms. Gutierrez at the ASUS Philippines YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijXps_uU2VI

A highlight of the program was a panel discussion that brought together Gabbi Garcia, Rico Hizon, Lito Villanueva, and Dindo Marzan, each representing a distinct facet of a modern Filipino professional. They engaged in a candid conversation about their firsthand experiences with the ASUS ExpertBook Ultra, the pressures defining today's professional landscape, and the accelerating role of AI in Philippine business. It was also on that same stage that ASUS Business Philippines made another announcement that had the room talking.

The evening was hosted by prominent Filipino voice-over artist, content creator, and podcaster Inka Magnaye, whose presence set the tone for a program that was as polished as the device it celebrated. The launch also drew some of the Philippines' most recognized names in business, media, and content like financial educator and entrepreneur Chinkee Tan.

Iconic Voices. One Undisputed Choice. ASUS Business Philippines Just Made the Most Unexpected Power Move in Philippine Tech.

In a move that bridges the country's two major broadcast networks, ASUS Business Philippines tapped both GMA Network's Gabbi Garcia and ABS-CBN's Rico Hizon as the dual faces of the campaign, who stood together onstage.

Gabbi Garcia is no stranger to ASUS. One of GMA Network's most in-demand talents, Kapuso IT girl, Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition host, and entrepreneur — she has carried the brand before. But this time, she isn't just back. She's back for the biggest ASUS launch the Philippines has ever seen.

Rico Hizon has spent 38 years in the rooms where the world's most consequential stories broke — as anchor of CNBC Asia, BBC News, and CNN Philippines, now host of ABS-CBN's Beyond the Exchange, and a trusted business consultant to some of the country's largest enterprises. He has interviewed presidents, CEOs, and global leaders. When someone of his caliber chooses to stand behind a product, it is not an endorsement. It is a verdict.

Together, they don't just represent the Filipino professional. They are the Filipino professional — at every stage, in every room, at every speed. ASUS Business Philippines did not choose safe. They chose the truth. And in choosing both of them, ASUS said

something louder than any spec sheet ever could: this laptop belongs to everyone who refuses to slow down.

ASUS ExpertBook Ultra. The Flagship of the Industry. Period. 

The ASUS ExpertBook Ultra is not simply a business laptop; it is a meticulously engineered, future-proof asset. By achieving an almost impossible combination—a featherlight 0.99 kg magnesium chassis, a thermally unrestricted 50W CPU TDP, graphics performance better than the NVIDIA RTX 4050, a staggering 14,090 MB/s Gen 5 SSD, 9600 MT/s RAM, a breathtaking 14.0-inch 3K 120Hz anti-glare touchscreen Tandem OLED display with 1,400 nits of brightness, a 70Wh battery delivering up to 26 hours of battery life, and impenetrable NIST SP 800-193-compliant hardware security—ASUS has systematically eliminated the concept of compromise.

For IT experts who demand unbreachable security, C-level executives who require supreme elegance, and dynamic professionals who refuse to let hardware bottleneck their potential, the choice is absolute. The ASUS ExpertBook Ultra is, without question, the flagship of the industry. Period. It is also the ultimate expression of the ASUS Expert Series: Trusted by IT Experts, Built for Worry-Free Business. ASUS ExpertBook Ultra Now Available in the Philippines

Why the realme C100 is the Best Student Survival Tool

  

As students head back to school, having a dependable smartphone can make everyday campus life easier. From attending classes and finishing schoolwork to staying connected during daily commutes, the realme C100 is built to deliver the battery life, durability, and reliable performance students need to power through the day.

 

It Keeps Up With Your Student Life

The realme C100’s 8000mAh Titan Battery stretches up to 1.7 days on a single charge, so students can focus on classes and activities instead of stressing over battery warnings or looking for a powerbank. It’s also built to last well beyond the school year, retaining up to 80% battery health even after seven years of use. And when life gets physical, the realme C100 holds its own – its IP69 Pro durability and Military-Grade Shock resistance mean it keeps working even after getting soaked in the rain or dropped up to two meters.

 

But surviving the day is just the start, the realme C100 is also designed to make that day a little better.

 

It Enhances Your Daily Routine

The device’s 6.8-inch 120Hz Ultra Bright Display with up to 1200-nit brightness makes it easy for students to read messages and catch up on lessons even under bright outdoor conditions. And when the battery runs low, the 45W SUPERVOOC Charging gets them back to 50%  in just 46 minutes, so there’s no reason to slow down.

 

But the realme C100 doesn't stop there. It’s 50MP rear camera is reliable enough for school requirements and capturing everyday moments with classmates and friends. Pair that with up to 256GB storage, students won't have to worry about constantly deleting old files and photos just to free up space.

 

Additionally, the realme C100 is equipped with NEXT AI features that integrates smart tools into the realme UI to help optimize connectivity and device performance, while also supporting productivity and content creation. This makes everyday tasks easier to manage, allowing students to stay efficient and connected even outdoors.

 

It Goes Beyond the Essentials

Even during long study sessions or back-to-back classes, the Hyper Cooling technology keeps the phone from slowing down. It's also loud enough to fill a room, whether students are watching videos, taking calls, or just listening to Olivia Rodrigo’s songs between classes – thanks to the device’s 400% Volume Speaker. And with its Blooming Design and 48-month Fluency Optimization, the realme C100 is a phone that looks good and stays reliable long after the school year ends.

 

Availability and Promos
