Is the Core Ultra 9 worth it over the Ultra 7 version?

Only if you do sustained video editing, 3D work or heavy multitasking. For browsing, Office and streaming, the Ultra 7 model costs less and runs cooler.

How much battery life should I expect?

Light use should get you through most of a workday. Expect a noticeable drop with the touchscreen bright and the Core Ultra 9 under load, so carry the charger on long days.

Can I upgrade the RAM or storage later?

The 2 TB SSD is the practical upgrade point; RAM on these thin convertibles is typically soldered. Buy the 32 GB configuration up front if you need it.

Does it come with a stylus?

The laptop supports pen input, but a stylus is usually sold separately. Check the box contents for your exact configuration before ordering.

Is $2,999.99 a good price?

It is the best new price across three stores as of November 7, 2026, but it sits at the top of the range for a 14-inch convertible. Compare the 16 GB and 1 TB versions before paying full price for this one.

It handles light and older titles, but the integrated graphics are not built for demanding games at high settings. Expect playable frame rates only at reduced settings.
