Their ProArt line is their Prosumer line and geared towards Artists so it having a full size SD card instead of the micro makes complete sense here. Also for those complaining about the 60hz screen Point me in the direction of a laptop with a 4k 16:10 oled based high refreshrate touchscreen with great color accruacy
I bought this laptop for engineering and i love it, some people might have a problem with 60hz and sure its a bit annoying but the display is stunning and tbh i forget that its only 60hz

I bought the base “canada config” here in the US at Best Buy last month for around $1700 on sale (retail price is $1900), so contrary to what Alex said, it actually CAN be had here. It’s a great PC
Also, worth noting that this is definitely NOT a gaming laptop. When you take that into consideration, the specs make a lot more sense. It’s for the creative crowd - think Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, etc.. Color accuracy is the primary concern. Gaming is an afterthought.
@@pangtundure Yes, it does have one USB 4.0 Gen 3 port for 40Gbps data transfers. From what I understand, that port also offers full compatibility with Thunderbolt 3. The other ports are USB 3.2 Gen 2.
Got a Zephyrus M16 for work and gaming, extremely happy with it except thermals and noise (most likely due to intel chip, seeing 90 degrees is pretty normal). I am a full fletched ASUS fan now, their designs and "power" is so good. I feel like this laptop line up is calling for me in the future.
Just under clock it, it won’t void your warranty and you’ll get way better temps. Did it on my asus rog g17 not gaming below 50c on cpu and gaming 70c on cpu. Just check with asus if unclocking is not going to void anything it absolutely shouldn’t I’ve done research and talked hp support but asus might be different. My cpu is the ryzen 9 7854hx so it’s not intel but underclocking is still great for intel and amd laptops.
Don’t, with proper game support and optimization, the macbooks are the best gaming laptops, cause their batteries last forever, and they have the exact same performance plugged in or on battery, no windows laptop has that.
I've got the previous generation version, and man that dial is REALLY useful if you're doing any type of drawing/modeling/animation, etc. In fact its just useful in general!
I bought one of these Brandnew from the asus Webshop a week ago- since then it has randomly crashed 3 times for no apparent reasons and didn’t turn on for several hours, had a ton of issues with my headphones when I’m not using an external audio interface (weird crackling, having to switch to laptops speakers and back to headphones when audio would randomly cut off , stuff like that) . Just a lovely laptop.
I love mine. Only complaint is the 60hz. Had it been 120hz, it'd be an endgame laptop. I kept my last G15 (3080 5900hs) since 2020 and bought this one recently. Asus laptop have insane longevity and the resale value isn't bad. Sold the G15 with a 3080 5900hs 32GB and 1440p 165mhz IPS display, for 800$ in August this year.
whats the point of the touch screen when the screen doesn't fold all the way, or isn't detachable? I mean I sure love fingerprints on my laptops screen.
I'm impressed. Aside from the refresh rate, this thing is - like - zero-compromises. ASUS stuff tends to top-grade in general; so it's a shame their best tech is often branded under that insufferable REPUBLIC OF GAMERS marque that I wouldn't be caught dead using (I'd even rep TUF without complaint), and it's likewise a shame that any high-refresh/VRR options here are probably locked to the G16 badge, because I absolutely _would_ consider the P16 if I were shopping for a laptop; seems like awesome specs and build quality for very reasonable prices (the webcam mic in particular really caught my attention for how good it sounded). For crying out loud, ASUS, just release more non-ROG variants for those of us who _aren't_ manchildren!
It was probably in the sponsorship contract they signed with ASUS that they needed to show some AI stuff. Also in context I think he meant its efficient while doing AI stuff. Machines without NPUs can do AI stuff as well, but they SUCK at power consumption when they are.

Is there a downside to photographers using a microsd card with the sd card adapter? Most microsd cards I see come with the adapter included. If there is no downside then the entire micro vs full sd card thing would not matter.
Yea microSD’s tend to heat up a lot quicker, since the nand packages are closer together. This reduces their lifespan/increases the chance instability or data loss. I’ve seen someone try shoot raw video to a microSD in an adapter and literally melt a hole in the adapter

I was so impressed by this laptop when I saw it in person! The video does not do it justice how incredible it is! I’m definitely gonna pick it up this holiday season for sure!
I got my work to go halves on the P16 with me! Its overpowered for my design work. My 1st gaming computer and I love it. Runs Mx bikes and all the games I've always wanted to try that are PC only. Runs smooth on my 27" monitor 1440p 120Hz. I have never touched the screen and dont plan on it lol . A none touchscreen option with a higher Hz screen would be a nice option.... Great video!
As someone who has had hands on with this laptop, it reminds me of a less expensive/lesser quality ThinkPad P1 G6. The keyboard is good but not as tactile as the Thinkpad - the keys are completely flat without a concave design like the thinkpad. You can easily flex and warp the base of the ProArt whereas the ThinkPad's base is solid. The overall look, fit, feel, and dimensions are on par with the Thinkpad. They have similar design asethetics and port availability. I think it's a great computer and would definitely get one if I didn't own the Thinkpad already.
@@TheJjjoj I replaced their shitty captive screws with aftermarket screws and it's rock solid - barely a flex in the chassis. You should try it and I don't mean that to be snarky. It makes a world of difference. I ordered mine off Amazon ---> Kadrick 660 Pcs M2 Screw Assortment kit. Costs ~$8 USD and now it has me thinking if I ever order another ThinkPad again to just go ahead and replace the chassis screws by default to increase base rigidity . But getting back to your comment, the flex on the ProArt is very noticeable. Like I think I could warp it with just my hands to the point it would break. I don't know if I could say that about the P1 series, definitely not with the Surface Laptop 7. The ProArt base seems that malleable which to mean felt lesser quality than the laptops I typically use. Still a good laptop, just wanted to note what stood out to me when I got a chance to use the ProArt. Everything else you said is on point. No disagreement here.
I need a laptop for work. It must be dockable friendly with two 4K displays. What should I be looking. Also the current gen xps has a terrible feeling keyboard
I think it's not upgradable, but there's a version with 64GB. That and the display are basically the only differences with G16. G16 caps at 32 GB and ironically (from my POV) has better display, because for me 4K is stupid below like 32", I rather have higher refresh rate at laptop size.
My heart says Asus is the company to buy my motherboard from. My head says I should wait a few years to see if Asus has stopped actively trying to sr_w over its customer base.
That non replaceable mediatec Wifi chip concerns me since I have had a lot of issues with the mediatec Wifi 6E card that came with my B650 motherboard.
I would get another ASUS but the one I’m using for architecture programs at school crapped out on me just outside of my warenty and sometimes the screen doesn’t turn on unless I restart it several times, the keyboard will sometimes also get stuck in keys and it has clicked on stuff in its own before. This experience made me not want to buy one from ASUS ever again. But maybe I should give them another chance?
If you are one of those people that struggle to focus, this is not a good purchase at all. I've learned to make sure that my work laptop has no ability to do anything other than what I need it for.
@tiltedbybox6118 28" 3:2 is perfect for 4k-class, you just run it at 200% on a laptop you're probably fine using 1920x something to avoid fractional scaling
Does it make a difference for fan sound and speakers if the laptop is on a mouse pad i never have my laptop on a mouse pad but its always on a hard surface
I have the skookum model and it is great so far. I have a newer MacBook Pro and it's 120 hz screen isn't that much smoother than the OLED on this one, it still had a great response rate, which matters more. I can see much more of a difference between the iPad Pro and iPad Air, the stutter is way more noticeable. It's not for gaming, it's for creative work so it's a Patone calibrated OLED screen so it doesn't need to get mega bright. I was a bit disappointed when I bought it, but it's not a big deal every day, and if you care just get the G16.
@@_shreyash_anand Me too - in fact that is why I haven't upgraded my M1 MacBook, it does everything well and the I don't really need the speed increase of the new ones. I'm going to wait until the next one to see if they put the tandem OLED in them, then I'll upgrade.
If you guys are gonna show gaming performance, you need to also say the setting and resolution for it to mean anything. 12o fps doesnt mean much if we dont know what the settings are.
Hi guys, hopefully this comes as more helpful than anything else but; I have a 2024 G16 with the Intel chip with a 4070 and my buddy bought a 2024 A14 which is the smaller version of the one in this video also with a 4060 and I will say this. The A series are nice laptops but my buddy and I have been noticing that his laptop runs out of battery way before me while it’s supposed to be less power hungry and efficient. Something else I’ve noticed too is that I’ve seen the G series go up for sale more often than the A series. That might be regional though. I bought my G16 for 1500 before tax while my buddy bought his A14 for 1800 before tax. So maybe check out the G series too and see which one has more of the features/pricing that best suit your needs.
FYI: my brother had two of the 13 in versions of this laptop that had constant crashing issues. May have been user error but multiple units makes me skeptical. Sad because it was beautiful hardware
I was choosing between this and a zephyrus g16 and i went with the g16 because of the 4080 because i thought I'd need it studying engineering in college and the screen was good enough for editing in lightroom, did i make a bad decision 💀?
Seems nice, but lacks removable RAM and a stylus. I'd much rather buy the storage and RAM separate, one thing I love about Framework laptops. I wish more OEMs had that option. Also, how was the screen in terms of reflectiveness? Looks pretty shiny... I'd love something I could use outside but few laptop have the brightness and matte screen to make that practical.
I just got the ASUS ProArt P16, and my screen has this black flicker that happens randomly for like one second, and I have updated everything. All Windows updates, all GPU driver updates, and I saw at least one ASUS firmware update during the slew of updates. However, I continue to have this black flicker, and it's especially bad with lightroom. Anyone else experience this and fix it?
Had the previous model. Was great…until I unplugged it and it ran off battery. It disables the nvidia GPU and then I would get hangs, freezes and blue screens.
Why oh why is it always ASUS that makes the yummiest AMD laptops? That display is simply fantastic, looks absolutely gorgeous. It's so good it makes even 60Hz bearable. If that machine had Lenovo or honestly anything other than ASUS written on it, I'd instantly tell them to shut up and take my money. But ASUS?
Asus is weirdly enough one of the more innovative laptop manufacturer rn. They are also the first to go all in on AMD Ryzen CPU on laptops, so I'd say they earned their position
@@gafarhere My guess becuase of both their Motherboard problems and their Ally issues recently. Also their abysmal customer service as well would be another knock agaisn't ASUS that people would complain about
Try it with multiple external monitors. Both HDMI and TypeC. And Fbook and youtube shorts. My laptop hangs for 5 days. It looks like the 4070 has problems with external monitors.
Important information: You can charge via USB-C on either side of the laptop - accepts maximum 100W, 20V, 5A. Only using the proprietary when gaming...
love to see amd laptops, but really hoping they go back to support ram upgrades with their next HX chipdls next year. It's the whole reason why I got an 7845HX instead of the newer releases.
I work in a screenprinting shop and the entire art department runs on adobe illustrator for mac and that sucks cuz i know everything about the razer software and how you can change the polling rate and refresh rate and really get into it but they do not care. lol
probably wont happen until ARM gets proper support from everyone. Passively cooled x86 laptops for now just isnt going to be worth risking the various models of x86 CPUs with different power curves throttling and having a proper well tuned fan curve is way more important, and ARM laptops is still sorting out performance and compatibility issues. Maybe the next generation of the PX13 and the PZ13 or even some Surface products could be for you.

But getting back to your comment, the flex on the ProArt is very noticeable. Like I think I could warp it with just my hands to the point it would break. I don't know if I could say that about the P1 series, definitely not with the Surface Laptop 7. The ProArt base seems that malleable which to mean felt lesser quality than the laptops I typically use. Still a good laptop, just wanted to note what stood out to me when I got a chance to use the ProArt. Everything else you said is on point. No disagreement here.
I need a laptop for work. It must be dockable friendly with two 4K displays. What should I be looking. Also the current gen xps has a terrible feeling keyboard
"Sorry, this promotion is not available in your region"
Is RAM upgradeable? Looks a lot like XPS but with Ryzen which is something I wanted for a very long time.
I think it's not upgradable, but there's a version with 64GB. That and the display are basically the only differences with G16. G16 caps at 32 GB and ironically (from my POV) has better display, because for me 4K is stupid below like 32", I rather have higher refresh rate at laptop size.
My heart says Asus is the company to buy my motherboard from. My head says I should wait a few years to see if Asus has stopped actively trying to sr_w over its customer base.
Yeah I don't know about elsewhere in the world but where I live Asus support is abysmal
I personally don't buy ASUS motherboards. I recently broke that idea and bought one and it seems to be unstable. Rekt.
@@Jimster481 I've never had any issues with Asus motherboards, but it has been at least 10 years since my last build.
Sraw? Srow? Sriw? Sruw? Srew? Sryw?
if it uses the same chassis as the G16, can you do a part swap with the G16?
my god, you guys have an amd laptop vid! finally!
That non replaceable mediatec Wifi chip concerns me since I have had a lot of issues with the mediatec Wifi 6E card that came with my B650 motherboard.
I would get another ASUS but the one I’m using for architecture programs at school crapped out on me just outside of my warenty and sometimes the screen doesn’t turn on unless I restart it several times, the keyboard will sometimes also get stuck in keys and it has clicked on stuff in its own before.
This experience made me not want to buy one from ASUS ever again. But maybe I should give them another chance?
More like how your mortgage/settlements begin 😂
Next level Price tag always
For this class of machine its actually a really good price, like it or not.
@kadenbirch pay 2500+ for a 4060 laptop apparently a "really good price"
Sorry I can't like it mate
@@frankwong9486 $2500 cad, which is like $1770 USD - try and find a laptop with equivalent specs for significantly cheaper, I'll wait.
Does the g16 have a calibrated display?
I found this exact spec model on US BestBuy for 1899. Maybe its Best Buy Exclusive for that option set?
Alex, did you kill the LG Gram laptops? They went strangely quiet this year. At least in Europe.
If you are one of those people that struggle to focus, this is not a good purchase at all. I've learned to make sure that my work laptop has no ability to do anything other than what I need it for.
how is that pro without ethernet and combo jack + mic only audio? in that case just get the cheaper one between this and the "gaming" one
The gaming one has better display imo, because it's high refresh rate and it's not 4K (yes I'm very much against 4K unless it's more than 32" screen)
@tiltedbybox6118 28" 3:2 is perfect for 4k-class, you just run it at 200%
on a laptop you're probably fine using 1920x something to avoid fractional scaling
i hope next years version comes with a 5080 or 5090...the laptop itself and the proart design line i really like - just clean
Does it make a difference for fan sound and speakers if the laptop is on a mouse pad i never have my laptop on a mouse pad but its always on a hard surface
I have the skookum model and it is great so far. I have a newer MacBook Pro and it's 120 hz screen isn't that much smoother than the OLED on this one, it still had a great response rate, which matters more. I can see much more of a difference between the iPad Pro and iPad Air, the stutter is way more noticeable. It's not for gaming, it's for creative work so it's a Patone calibrated OLED screen so it doesn't need to get mega bright. I was a bit disappointed when I bought it, but it's not a big deal every day, and if you care just get the G16.
Yeah I guess pixel response times matter a lot. But man I wish everything had the iPad Pro's screen
@@_shreyash_anand Me too - in fact that is why I haven't upgraded my M1 MacBook, it does everything well and the I don't really need the speed increase of the new ones. I'm going to wait until the next one to see if they put the tandem OLED in them, then I'll upgrade.
@@matt_kellyThat will happen in 2026, looks like. Supply chain isn’t ready to scale up to MacBook Pro displays.
I want a touch screen with pen support but those always come with bad performance so its good to see this
I have G16 but I wanna know that why they have charging and power indicator on back side of the laptop 😓😫
I really wish you guys covered if the touchpad uses a button or a haptic actuator like m$ surface and apple.
This one is mechanical
Are they gonna make a 17" version?
If you guys are gonna show gaming performance, you need to also say the setting and resolution for it to mean anything. 12o fps doesnt mean much if we dont know what the settings are.
Hi guys, hopefully this comes as more helpful than anything else but; I have a 2024 G16 with the Intel chip with a 4070 and my buddy bought a 2024 A14 which is the smaller version of the one in this video also with a 4060 and I will say this. The A series are nice laptops but my buddy and I have been noticing that his laptop runs out of battery way before me while it’s supposed to be less power hungry and efficient. Something else I’ve noticed too is that I’ve seen the G series go up for sale more often than the A series. That might be regional though. I bought my G16 for 1500 before tax while my buddy bought his A14 for 1800 before tax. So maybe check out the G series too and see which one has more of the features/pricing that best suit your needs.
FYI: my brother had two of the 13 in versions of this laptop that had constant crashing issues. May have been user error but multiple units makes me skeptical. Sad because it was beautiful hardware
I was choosing between this and a zephyrus g16 and i went with the g16 because of the 4080 because i thought I'd need it studying engineering in college and the screen was good enough for editing in lightroom, did i make a bad decision 💀?
I would totally get a laptop if it had mechanical switches or hall effects
Every laptop should have the numpad feature in the track pad.
Seems nice, but lacks removable RAM and a stylus. I'd much rather buy the storage and RAM separate, one thing I love about Framework laptops. I wish more OEMs had that option.
Also, how was the screen in terms of reflectiveness? Looks pretty shiny... I'd love something I could use outside but few laptop have the brightness and matte screen to make that practical.
I have the 13' RTX 4060 version of this, and it runs Star Wars Outlaws like a boss 🙂
does this have a haptic trackpad?
Video on monitor calibration devices? Please
When will Asus Pro Pro P16 launch in India?
Wheres the macbooks reviews? i really want to see those from you guys...
Don't pay too much attention to what alex says about US configurations/pricing. Best Buy US has the same base model among others.
I'm in the US and I bought the 4060 model that was used in this video for $1699 after a $200 off from a Bestbuy sale.
I just got the ASUS ProArt P16, and my screen has this black flicker that happens randomly for like one second, and I have updated everything. All Windows updates, all GPU driver updates, and I saw at least one ASUS firmware update during the slew of updates. However, I continue to have this black flicker, and it's especially bad with lightroom. Anyone else experience this and fix it?
Had the previous model. Was great…until I unplugged it and it ran off battery. It disables the nvidia GPU and then I would get hangs, freezes and blue screens.
7:38 Not seeing 120fps because it’s a 60 Hz monitor 😢
insane that companies are still pushing out proprietary connectors for less than 240w needs. USB-PD EPR has been around the block by now.
Why oh why is it always ASUS that makes the yummiest AMD laptops? That display is simply fantastic, looks absolutely gorgeous. It's so good it makes even 60Hz bearable. If that machine had Lenovo or honestly anything other than ASUS written on it, I'd instantly tell them to shut up and take my money. But ASUS?
Whats wrong with Asus? The main thing in your “if” is, your other companies don’t do what you want except Asus did😂
Framework makes AMD laptops and is weirdly the only one selling an all AMD option right now.
I noticed that too. Asus was the only one having a selection of HX CPUs as well.
Asus is weirdly enough one of the more innovative laptop manufacturer rn. They are also the first to go all in on AMD Ryzen CPU on laptops, so I'd say they earned their position
@@gafarhere My guess becuase of both their Motherboard problems and their Ally issues recently. Also their abysmal customer service as well would be another knock agaisn't ASUS that people would complain about
Is this good for a mechanical engineering undergraduate degree?
Don't they usually check for flex in the keyboard area as well? He did it on the least flexible part of the laptop
First saw tumbnail of Alex smiling holding laptop, refreshed the page and tumbnail changed to Alex frauning, same poze lol
The biggest upside of touchscreens is probably that in Slay The Spire you can slam your cards at the enemies.
Is that HDR?
If this is any clue, all I need is some boxes to put stuff in
Everything is super easy to clear out
Try it with multiple external monitors. Both HDMI and TypeC. And Fbook and youtube shorts. My laptop hangs for 5 days. It looks like the 4070 has problems with external monitors.
Important information: You can charge via USB-C on either side of the laptop - accepts maximum 100W, 20V, 5A. Only using the proprietary when gaming...
Can you please try the asus proart pz13 and px13
Even 90 hz would have been enough. I can't do 60hz anymore like it's 2019. I'm spoiled! The G16 is incredible, though, and runs linux perfectly
You wont notice it after a week or less lol.
The 3yo USB PD 3.1 allows upto 240W over USB-C - which is what Dell uses. Why yet another proprietary power connector?
if you set it so your pointer has trails you dont have to worry about it showing pointer trails!!
just realized i no longer have that option applied after changing to a holiday theme..... my refresh rate is just bad...
@@ihavefleas196 RIP
love to see amd laptops, but really hoping they go back to support ram upgrades with their next HX chipdls next year. It's the whole reason why I got an 7845HX instead of the newer releases.
I work in a screenprinting shop and the entire art department runs on adobe illustrator for mac and that sucks cuz i know everything about the razer software and how you can change the polling rate and refresh rate and really get into it but they do not care. lol
Ive been patiently not so patiently waiting for the 3d monitor version of tgis laptop that was teased what 2 years ago now
How is it a work or professional laptop with no number pad?? 🤔
honestly, the screws being different lengths are a bit of a deal breaker for me.
I literally just ordered one of these (With the 4060) from memory express!
My favorite part of this video was finding out about Muse Tree! :o I've gotta try it out on my phone (half kidding)
Would be nice if laptops can support cf express slots
I've got this beautiful clear perfect colour perfect blacks display. Now let me smudge it up with fingers prints.
As an artist what I would really want is a Windows Air M1(passively cooled I mean and with enormous battery life) with a stylus support =)
ARM Windows computers will become more popular in the coming years
honestly i would just get a macbook i wouldn't even want to deal with the bs thats called windows 11
probably wont happen until ARM gets proper support from everyone. Passively cooled x86 laptops for now just isnt going to be worth risking the various models of x86 CPUs with different power curves throttling and having a proper well tuned fan curve is way more important, and ARM laptops is still sorting out performance and compatibility issues. Maybe the next generation of the PX13 and the PZ13 or even some Surface products could be for you.
@@johnsalamii The main issue with macOS for a lot of people is compatibility unfortunately.
@@wenimechoinasama2 Most creative software is available on the Mac and tends to run better there too. Apart from Adobe, that just sucks regardless of platform.
One feature that you really want - customer support? Software that doesn't suck?
Can't wait for a refresh of the flow x16
