Performance scores
Current-year silicon at a business ticket
The ASUS ExpertBook Ultra is a 2026 business machine — the newest model year in this catalog: an Intel Core Ultra 5 325 with Intel Xe3 integrated graphics and 64GB of memory at $1,300. The peer comparison records no weak axis. The graphics placing reads 45.85 against a business-class median of 3.84 — eleven times the norm, mainstream tier — with reliability at 69 and the memory ceiling sixty percent above class, all top-quartile.
What a 2026 integrated GPU actually does
The Xe3 placing is documented rather than assumed, and the flag sheet verifies it: Overwatch, Grand Theft Auto V and Rainbow Six Siege clear recommended, with Photoshop and Visual Studio Code clearing minimums. This is the current state of integrated graphics — a placing that outclasses entire generations of entry discrete cards and covers light-to-mid gaming without a card slot. The 64GB ceiling means the platform will not outgrow its memory within this decade.
The new-machine arithmetic
At $1,300 with a zero-percent recorded depreciation rate — the listing is current-year stock — the buyer pays the full new-machine premium in a used-market catalog. The honest comparison is against the shelf's 2023–24 business seats at $886–$1,144: those carry older platforms at lower tickets, and this seat's differentiation is precisely the year — the newest efficiency silicon, the newest chassis, the longest runway before obsolescence. The value verdict — fairly priced — records that the ticket prices the newness honestly.
No depreciation anchor
The recorded rate is zero — current-year stock whose decay has not begun. The buyer books the entire curve forward; the memory ceiling and the platform year are what make that a defensible bet.
Positioning against the aisle
No recorded analogs fall within the comparison band. Within this batch the ExpertBook P1 at $1,007 offers the 2024 platform with the same memory ceiling for $293 less — the premium here buys the two platform years and the Xe3 tier.
Bottom line
A fairly-priced, no-weakness current-year business machine whose integrated graphics are measured at mainstream tier and verified by flags. For the buyer who pays once and keeps for years, this is the catalog's newest answer at a defensible ticket.
