Intel Core Ultra laptop buying guide: NPU, series and suffix
Core Ultra is Intel's newer laptop family. Intel says Core Ultra processors include an NPU, a separate engine for AI work, and some also have Intel Arc graphics (Intel). Core 5 and Core 7 chips without the Ultra name belong to a different family, covered in step 4. For the basics, see the Intel laptop buying guide on Intel laptop price in Nepal.
1. What the NPU does, and how strong it is
Intel says the NPU and graphics can run AI work in parallel with whatever else you're doing (Intel). NPU strength is rated in TOPS. Intel rates the NPU at 11 TOPS in the Ultra 5 125H (Intel), 12 in the Ultra 5 225U (Intel) and 13 in the Ultra 7 255H (Intel). The Ultra 5 226V in the Acer Swift 14 AI and Acer Aspire 14 AI jumps to 40 TOPS (Intel). If AI features in Windows and your apps matter to you, that's the one to look at.
2. Series 1 or Series 2, and the letter
The Ultra 5 125H and Ultra 7 155H are Series 1 chips, while the 225U, 226V, 255H and 275HX are Series 2, and the first digit of the number tells you which (Intel). The letter at the end still matters most for how the laptop behaves. U chips like the Ultra 5 225U have 12 cores at 15 W and go in everyday laptops such as the HP Laptop AI (15-fd2104TU).
The Ultra 7 255H is an H chip with 16 cores at 28 W, used in slim performance laptops like the ASUS Zenbook 14 (UX3405CA). Intel only enables Arc graphics on H chips in systems with at least 16GB of dual-channel memory (Intel). At the top, the HX-series Ultra 9 275HX has 24 cores at 55 W and powers gaming laptops such as the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI (Intel).
3. V chips: check the memory limit
The Ultra 5 226V is a V-series chip with 8 cores, a 17 W base power and Intel Arc 130V graphics, and Intel's spec page caps its memory at 16GB (Intel). The Swift 14 AI and Aspire 14 AI already have 16GB, so pick one only if 16GB will do for as long as you keep the laptop.
4. Core 5 and Core 7 are not Core Ultra
Laptops like the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15IRH10R with a Core 5 210H and the Acer Nitro V15 (ANV15-52) with a Core 7 240H use chips without the Ultra name. Intel's spec pages list no NPU for either, and both are Raptor Lake chips, the same family as 13th Gen Core (Intel, Intel). They're good chips for work and, with an RTX card, gaming. Just don't buy one for the NPU.

Intel Core Ultra laptop FAQ
Do I need an NPU in my laptop?
For study, office work and gaming, no. An NPU runs AI features at low power, so it matters if you'll use those features. If you will, look at the Ultra 5 226V, whose NPU is rated 40 TOPS against 11 to 13 TOPS for the Ultra 5 125H, Ultra 5 225U, Ultra 7 255H and Ultra 9 275HX.
Does a Core 5 or Core 7 laptop have an NPU?
Not the Core 5 210H and Core 7 240H models we sell, because Intel's spec pages for those chips list none. Core Ultra in the chip name is the sure sign of an NPU.
Can I upgrade the RAM on a Core Ultra laptop?
Not past 16GB on an Ultra 5 226V laptop, because that's the chip's limit, so buy the size you need. On U, H and HX models it depends on the laptop, so ask us before you buy.
Which Core Ultra laptop brands do you sell?
Acer, ASUS, HP and Lenovo. Every price on this page is our current website price.
