The U.S. model is already at $3,599.99 for the X7 variant. If you go for the higher-spec Intel Core Ultra X9, it\u2019s likely to cost more.

These provide solid value without the premium materials and features of the Ultra.

([techradar.com](https://www.techradar.com/computing/asus-expertbook-ultra-2026-business-laptop-review?utm_source=openai))  \n- Current UK P5 variants (\u00a7 mid-spec U731X etc.) grant us a benchmark: around **\u00a31,200\u2013\u00a31,700** depending on RAM/SSD combos.

([asus.com](https://www.asus.com/uk/product-compare?LevelId=Laptops-For-Work&ProductID=32332&utm_source=openai))  \n- It boasts premium hardware all around\u20143 K tandem OLED screen, Gorilla Glass, ultralight (\u2248 0.99 kg) chassis\u2014placing it firmly in the high-end business laptop bracket. ([asus.com](https://www.asus.com/uk/business/resources/news/asus-announces-expertbook-ultra/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \ud83e\uddee Estimating the UK Price\n\n- According to TechRadar: \u201cyou can expect this to cost around **\u00a32,000**.\u201d That\u2019s for a \u201cfully specced\u201d model, which aligns tightly with what 32 GB + 1 TB would likely be. ([techradar.com](https://www.techradar.com/computing/asus-expertbook-ultra-2026-business-laptop-review?utm_source=openai))  \n- Compare: The P5 / P5405 model with similar RAM/SSD (32 GB/1 TB) is priced at **\u00a31,299.99**. ([pricespy.co.uk](https://pricespy.co.uk/product.php?p=15104026&utm_source=openai))  \n- Given the Ultra\u2019s build quality, display premium, and AI-features, the over-cost relative to P5 should be substantial\u2014typically \u00a3600-\u00a3900 more in this class. \n\n---\n\n## \u2705 Your Likely Price Range\n\nPutting this all together, for 32 GB RAM / 1 TB SSD in the **ASUS ExpertBook Ultra** in the UK, you can reasonably expect:\n\n**\u00a31,900 to \u00a32,400**\n\n- Lower end (~\u00a31,900-\u00a32,050): Likely base Ultra with Ultra 7 or perhaps a less premium display or finish.  \n- Middle (~\u00a32,200): Most typical full-spec for UK release.  \n- Premium (~\u00a32,400 or slightly more): Ultra X9 + top features (e.g. peak brightness, better NPU, OLED-screen extras).  \n\nIf you tell me whether you're considering Ultra-7, Ultra-9, or care about specific add-ons (OLED vs. IPS, GPU, etc.), I can narrow that further."

The variant they tracked had **64 GB RAM / 1 TB SSD** and was selling for **about 2,500 EUR**. ([ultrabookreview.com](https://www.ultrabookreview.com/74674-asus-expertbook-ultra-review/?utm_source=openai))  \n- *TechRadar* projected for a fully loaded Ultra based on Ultra-7 that UK pricing might be \u201caround **\u00a32,000**.\u201d ([techradar.com](https://www.techradar.com/computing/asus-expertbook-ultra-2026-business-laptop-review?utm_source=openai))  \n- The European review makes note that the 64GB versions sell for \u20ac2,500-2,800 depending on configuration.

A \u201cnormal screen\u201d version would reduce the premium somewhat. ([ultrabookreview.com](https://www.ultrabookreview.com/74674-asus-expertbook-ultra-review/?utm_source=openai))  \n- ExpertBook Ultra\u2019s starting weight, chassis quality, and core CPU/SSD specs are very high-end, which exerts upward price pressure. Even stripped-down (visuals) versions still carry that premium. ([asus.com](https://www.asus.com/uk/business/resources/news/asus-announces-expertbook-ultra/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can look up actual listings for that exact spec (Ultra-7 + 32 GB + 1 TB + standard screen) to see if there\u2019s already stock and get a more current price.
