Intel Core Ultra X7‑Powered Premium Laptops Reviewed
The Asus ExpertBook Ultra, priced at $3,599.99, pairs a 16‑core Intel Core Ultra X7 358H processor with 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory, a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD and a 14‑inch tandem OLED display (2880 × 1800). Weighing 2.18 lb, it features a nano‑ceramic finish and earned a PCMag Editors' Choice award.
The Dell XPS 14 (model DA14260) costs $2,879.99 and uses the same Core Ultra X7 358H CPU, 32 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD and a 14‑inch 2.8K OLED touchscreen. Housed in a CNC‑machined aluminium chassis, it weighs about 3 lb and is praised for its build quality, strong performance, and high‑resolution display. Both laptops target business and professional users seeking top‑tier performance and premium design, but their high price points place them in the upper‑end market segment.
