    ASUS ExpertBook Ultra (B9406) レビュー – Core Ultra X7 と Tandem OLED を実機検証

    ASUS ExpertBook Ultra (B9406) は、目立たないながらも圧倒的なパワーを兼ね備えた傑作であり、ワークステーション級のパフォーマンスを必要としつつも、背骨を痛めるような重さは避けたいという、要求の厳しいプロフェッショナル、経営幹部、パワーユーザーのために特別に設計されています。これは、あらゆる面でハイエンドかつプレミアムなビジネス向けノートPCです。 初めて手に取ると、わずか1.13kgという羽のように軽い筐体はまるで空っぽの殻のように感じられますが、テスト中に私たちを本当に驚かせたのは、その内部に隠された圧倒的なパワーでした。 Intel Core Ultra X7プロセッサは、高負荷時でも45Wという驚異的な持続性能を発揮し、レンダリング作業において多くの重量級競合機種を圧倒します。また、Tandem OLEDディスプレイは、ビジネス向けマシンとして私たちがこれまでテストしてきた中で、おそらく最も明るく、最も色再現精度の高いディスプレイの一つと言えるでしょう。 しかし、この驚異的なパワー・ウェイト・レシオを実現するためには、いくつかの不満の残る妥協点も伴います。ディスプレイのヒンジは気になってしまうほどぐらつきがあり、テスト機ではコイルのきしむ音が聞こえ、RAMのアップグレードが全くできない点は、「Pro」モデルとしては不釣り合いに感じられます。 その羽のように軽いボディが持つパワーが、こうした物理的な欠点を上回るかどうか、見ていきましょう。 テスト構成: – Intel Core Ultra X7 358H – Intel Arc B390 グラフィックス – 32GB LPDDR5X RAM – 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD…
