THE FUSE

It's built for work and looks like it. Every bit of the Asus ExpertBook Ultra is prepared for long hours that make people with more money notice you. That you can do this, plus video editing or gaming, without connecting to a cable for... well, ages, is just a performance bonus. As a straight consumer machine, though, it's overkill, both in terms of power and price. If you need this much for something that isn't an office, odds are you actually need a similarly-priced, more specialised machine instead.
