Im a designer and bought the 16" ProArt OLED as a reliable backup and portable surrogate to my custom-built desktop. For this purpose the machine is awesome and exactly what i wanted! Plenty of power which easily matches my 5yro desktop, it actually outperforms it. The touch screen is not a critical issue for me as i have either a StudioPro or Cintiq tablet to connect and work on plus i use a mouse (im left-handed so can work between mouse and stylus) but i opted for it because it does come in handy in times where i only carry the laptop and want to sketch. I give the actual laptop a big thumbs up! In regards to using the screen as a drawing tablet, i found it much easier if i turned off the touchscreen
The idea of having stylus to draw on the screen feels like an afterthought. It's nice to lay flat 180 degrees but when you need a drawing screen to make money, no laptop screens beat a dedicated drawing tablet.
Samsung Galaxy Pro laptop easily beats all tabs (and cintiqs) Because first of all it IS wacom pen tech itself. But that gets added to the god tier samsung screens. Which results in 2ms overall latency. Which is much faster than both ipad pro pen and wacom products themselves, let alone surface pro whose pen is not great to begin with
If I had to switch from a Macbook to a Windows laptop it would be an ASUS, I love their Pro Art monitors I have a 1440p and a mini-LED Pro Art Monitor right now and I have owned a couple of their premium machines. My only issue with a Widows machine is noise. After using the M1 Max Macbook Pro 16 and a M2 Max 14 inch I just can't go back to those Jet Engine Laptops. But it looks really nice and I would really consider one if I needed a PC.
Maybe Tech Notice can give us more insight regarding battery and noise..I am at the same place.. not wearing earplugs while creating is more important then beating m2 mac studio ultra performance.
@@olivierlanguedoc When I hear a PC laptop's fans kick up now days my first thought is, "Am I pushing this Machine too hard" and then I realize I'm just listening to my locally stored MP3 audio files and that is how x86 CPU behave normally. But I will say those ASUS Pro Art Monitors are some of the best I have ever seen with my own eyes. Cheers!
@@olivierlanguedoc Intel Machines will spin their fans up while idle, and after using the near silent Apple Silicon Macs it is weird to hear a Intel laptop just start blasting the fan for no reason, and in heavy work loads the fans of a PC can be down right annoying. Sorry I was trying to be humorous in my last comment and I think my joke bombed LOL Cheers!!
@@joesalyers ok yeah. That's my fear also. I want to go PC all the way but for laptops apple is hard to beat if you don't want an equivalent to a PC workstation
I always loved the ProArt design especially for laptops it seems that this year they went for cpu powerhouse with reduction to the gpu to save on power they easily could have used the proart 300W charger from Studiobook One W590, it seems weird though that last year's model is with a 3080ti 16GB and it's a 4070 8GB i know it's not apples to apples comparison but still it feels like they getting cheap on us😑 what do you think?
It really does feel like they're cheaping out on us this year. For how much it costs and considering it calls itself a "creator laptop", I'd expect it to have at least a 4080. Not just that - last year's model was being offered with 2x2TB SSDs. Now it's only 1x2TB SSD.
i have the 4070 version and your review is very good. you touch on a lot of stuff. so the screen on this thing is amazing, and i can game any game. without dls33 it can go down to 40 fps if u want native 3.2 resolution (yes a caveat is if u go lower res it kind of does look blurry or its my head playing w me) so u def want dls33 if u want to play latest games w high/ultra. i really like this laptop. had it for 3 months now. bought for $2800 in thailand
Hello Dennis, I have a question for you. Do you have a heat problem on your laptop? I have a weird hot point between space and trackpad and center of the bottom, even laptop was on idle. Thank you.
@@dastanhoja i game on it so its hot. i just finished gaming and see point u talked about. on idle id have to check. one thing to know Fun+F changes from performance mode to standard. not sure what it actually does
@@Zellebobba its all metal. screen is better cause 120hz. trackpad haptic but i cant say its amazing. some say its very good but i just dont use it as much, it works well but i think macbook trackpads are awesome that said i havent used one in a long time. speakers solid!!
Yes this is great as long as you keep it plugged in. Once you unplug it you are going to lose a ton of perfomance. It might still be faster than the M2 but it might not. Also since its pulling over 100W my guess is that the battery will suck. This is nice device but It also has drawbacks and I think it is important to include those.
Great review. I got this laptop mainly because of the screen but I also like that it's user expandable. I always try to buy laptops that are easy to upgrade and Asus made it a point to write the words "user expandable" in the specs. I'll be getting another 32GB stick (the 2x48GB is not worth the extra cost right now) and a 4TB SSD for the second slot (already have a 2TB for the main one). SSD prices keep dropping so not having the SSD glued in or soldered on the motherboard is a huge pro.
Another "pro" feature is that is pc fails inbetween a backup, you just stick the m2 to another pc and retrieve your data or continue working. Good luck doing that on a "pro" mac.
Does the surface still needs to push down to activate the tablet pen? Or can you lightly hover on the surface without pushing down to get a light line ?
@@theCameraVilleCompared to the Surface Pro 4 I had, the new pen with the Surface Laptop Studio doesn't need as much pressure to draw a line. Diagonal lines are also much better to draw, barely any waviness compared to quite a lot with the old pen that I used on my Pro 4
I really hope I can wait for the second gen Laptop Studio before I have to buy a laptop for photography+studies. With the current 13th gen Intel laptops with rtx 4000 series graphics being as powerful as they are, it's hard to feel like 3k would be better spent on the Surface with hardware that's still way behind the others. Maybe I can buy a temporary laptop and return it when the surface is released tho. As long as it doesn't take half a year to be available in Europe again...
I really like the way you did the sponsor segment at the beginning. It didn't stick out and I didn't immediately want to click off of the vid nice editing.
I was about to go for this Rolls Royce as a backup machine, but I read an Amazon review which describes a problem of temperatures! I really thank all of you reviewers for all the hard work that you all putting in to give us viewers the right information to make a decision. However, I request all of you reviewers to add one more parameter, Temperatures! I bought a fully loaded workstation class laptop, i9, 128GB RAM, 4080, 1 x 2TB, 2 x 8TB, NVMEs, all the bells and whistles and the cost was a good 8-9K USD, fully configured. The big problem, Temperatures! Unusable temperatures. At am ambient room temp of 25C (77F) the surface temperature on the keyboards touching 40-45C (104- 113F) and the hinges and the bottom lid touching 52C (125F)! You could get second degree burns on your 'lap' ! Thankfully after fighting with them for months, temperature readings using my FLIR and when they had nowhere to go, they accepted to refund me for the entire machine. I am going around pasting this same comment on all laptop reviews review videos. Please do not feel that I am trolling or pestering. I am just requesting you to add this to your reviews in the future.
10:42 thanks for pointing that out. Really weird decision by Asus not giving us the option to upgrade to a 4080 because the ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X OLED can be configured with one.
I was close to buying this laptop till I saw your comment. So, if I am to use this for 3D modeling and video editing, how much performance difference is going to be between the 4070 proart and the 4080 zenbook?
@jourdanfarmer4037 I just came accros this video and saw your comment. I don't do 3D modeling really but i am a graphic and motion designer so i do a lot of 2D graphic animation. I plan to buy a new laptop the next month and i had a big crush on the asus proart. I use to play a lot as well on my free time so i'm looking for a powerfull laptop for my job and my freetime (i used to buy ROG but i want to try something else this time). Regarding the fact that i can't go higher than the 4070, do you think it's still a good purchase ? I want to invest in a high quality laptop that i can keep as long as i can and that can keep up with the video game industry as well throught the years.
What you wanted to say is that the pen becomes an absolute pointing device (every pixel on the screen is mapped to the track pad), unlike the "sliding" action, such as the mouse or finger on the track pad, which are relative pointing devices. You really like to say "exactly the same" a lot, don't you. Good review.
@theTechNotice I have the 4070 model and it has this mesh/dot pattern especially on bright colors probably due to digitizer layer. Did you notice something like this?, service replaced the screen but its still the same. Everything else is indeed Rolls Royce
what do you think about the new P16? Please make a comparison asap. I m a little dissappointed by the new line of products.. This laptop could be better for multicore productivity and cooling , but I am not sure. I m waiting for you to make new videos.
Coming from Zephyrus M16 with 3070ti I can easily say this is an amazing laptop. I have been searching for a thin laptop equiped with a powerful GPU and CPU. Differences between 3070ti and 4070 are not really evident until you activate DLSS3 and FG but all Pro Art laptop is amazing. First of all the stunning OLED display!!
Honestly they should have made a DUO version of the Pro Art series or should have come up with a version with the eGPU integrated with Lenovo 9i's idea of two screens. That would make me get one of these. I currently use the Zenbook Pro Duo. The extra screen is a boon but I would have wanted the abilities of the Lenovo 9i.
I used the original pro duo and back then (2019), it had everything you would want in a laptop dedicated to content creation. It was kind of considered part of the pro art series. Also, it was pretty much the only laptop with an 4K Oled screen. The pro duo series was supposed to be the ultimate content creator's laptop line, then they released the studiobook with quadro cards in it to make it clear that the studiobook is made for professionals/creators. Since then, the pro duo has been pushed to the side a bit and catered to an enthusiasts oriented niche market, but is no longer the content creators' flagship. I was surprised to see how the latest iterations of the pro duo were ''worse'' than the earlier versions and it was clear to me that they gimped it in certain aspects (such as the 4k Oled screen) in order to not outshine the studiobook (which also started to have regular rtx cards). Currently (2023-2024), if you want the 4070 card, you need to go with the studiobook pro art because the pro duo only goes up to 4060 in Canada. Also, the pro duo no longer has a 15.6in oled 4k screen (14.5in with 2.8k res). I understand why they had to do this from a business perspective but it kind of sucks for the consumers. The pro duo with the 12th gen and 3070ti outshined its studiobook counterpart in nearly every aspects and has superior tech/innovation so they had to gimp it in order to avoid market cannibalization as it is much easier to market ''pro art studiobook for content creators'' product lineup.
@@thng670 Thanks for the time to write about this. Yes definitely sucks when business minds take over rational thinking in terms of consumer friendly product categorization. Samsung is guilty of this as well. Such as shame. Asus can be amazing but does make poor decisions quite often. The thinness of the Zephyrus series is also missed for the new iterations. Sometimes they take several steps back for each step forward.
@@babyblu5590 yea it's pretty sad unfortunately. Yes Samsung is definitely guilty of this as well. The note series and the Z fold series are good examples. The Note series used to be the ultimate phone . It was Samsung's real flagship phone (even better than the official Flagship S series). It had all the best tech Samsung had to offer in one device. It came with a premium price of course but you used to get what you paid for. Nowadays, they seem to favour diversification of their products and sometimes have borderline "sus" pricing ladder strategies. You can't have one ultimate device anymore like you used to get with the note series (for example the note 9 or note 10+). I've owned a couple of Z fold series phones and recently the s23 ultra and it is clear to me that they do not wish the Z fold series to outshine the S Ultra (noticeably worse camera on the Z fold). Again, I understand why they do this from a business perspective but I it does suck for the consumers. Samsung even made fun of Apple on social media because they didn't offer chargers anymore. Guess what? A year or two later, samsung stopped including chargers with the phone too. The note series had all the bells and whistles and was 1-2 generations ahead of the competition. They even used to include extras such as USB adapters and VIP service/perks with their most premium phones. The Z fold 2 even came with a free meal at a Michelin star restaurant, golf club, 1 free screen repairs , dedicated 24/7 phone/concierge service). The phone cost around 2200$-2400$ in 2020 which was ridiculous but they did their best to make sure that you get what you paid for.
I don't get the point with duo, just buy an extra portable monitor? I have two of those babies in my workbag all the time for whenever I need them. The problem with duo is that you cant use it in your lap because of the placement of the keyboard. It does not deserve to be called a laptop. Its literally a portable desktop with an attached screen....
Having extra monitors means more wires/plugs. Although this can be practical, it is too clunky and not an elegant setup for some. Not everyone wants to carry multiple monitors in their bag... Sometimes you just need a small secondary that gives you a quick boost in your workflow. The amount of time you save by not having to search or minimize multiple windows is often ignored. The Duo is great for this. Using a laptop on your lap for a long period of time is a really uncomfortable experience anyway so just find a small desk or something. @@incognito7843
Could you check if there is not SCREEN DOOR EFFECT in this display? It's very annoying and make laptops unusable in professional work. Did they avoid it here?
I got this and the display flickered black… needless to say >80% of buyers had similar hardware issues with Asus’ “rolls royce”. Save $100 and buy the Yoga Pro 9i
With the pen2 on the trackpad surface, will applying pressure cause a click, or does the pen near the surface activate palm rejection? Also, does it still provide haltic feedback with the use of pen? I am unsure of the trackpad upgrade from the physical buttons on the previous model.
you call it an apple silicon "killer" yet when you unplug it from power it loses 70% of its performance and that battery life is less than 1/2 of a 16" mbp, plus the trackpadis nowhere near as good on top of that the display doenst get bright enough for real hdr editing. yes its got more raw performance, but once you get to a certain point wither performance, it stops being a limiting factor and things like battery, brightness, trackpad, not having a giant chunk on the back, etc affect your experience much more than the performance difference. Performance is the only thing that matters in a desktop, but in a laptop theres a much larger picture to look at. If you use premiere as well, LTT said that they used a macbook pro 14 for a lot of server storage premiere tests because the macos version of premiere crashes much less and any performance gains provided by a more powerful computer are cancelled out by the sheer number of crashes. And as mkbhd said, "can it run final cut?" and because of these reasons, combined with my personal experience, I have a gaming pc and windows is terrible for creative work, i will be purchasing a macbook pro 16
@@akyhne well one of my personal laptops is the MSI Creator 16 AI Studio 16" with an rtx 4090 and it renders out a video plugged in 70% faster than when unplugged The least performance drop I’ve ever seen in a 4000 series laptop was my friend’s razer book or whatever they call it which dropped 40% when unplugged But even a 4090 40% slower still got outperformed by my work 16” MacBook Pro m3 max
Hello. Sorry for my english because i speak french !! In Switzerland we have the choice between the model RTX 3000 ADA and RTX 4070. For photo editing , do you advise me to take which model ? Good regards. Laurent
i have a question please, my best friend just reveived his own, and i tested it few hours to be sure this is the one i need, ok, it's built like a tank, may be the most solid laptop i ever seen, BUT the screen is soooo disapointing! i'm not talking about colors or brightness, i'm juste talking about PIXELS ! did you notice that pixels are NOT really SQUARE like a normal display ? i don't know how to explain that, but sharpness was not "normal" becose of the shape of pixels, at it disturbed my eyes, there is few artefacts that it's very noticable in white pages, it feels like you have a grid layer over the display, i taked a picture with macro lens to be sure, and the pictures was very strange, i never seen pixel shapes like this before ! so know i'm not really sure anymore that this is the laptop i need :( can you tell me if this disturbed you ? thank you
Thanks for the review. Nice to know that the ProArt series is in continuation. This almost works for my daw app in home studio. Guess Ill be holding out for the Z790 Motherboard and hope that they'll be back in favor eventually with a reliable warranty and bios. Still very interesting! I'll be watching Thanks again. Have any idea if the M.2 storage and ram will be upgradeable soon?
i love windows laptops and the portable performance nowadays, but the frustrating thing is that you can't use these laptops on 100% without the power brick pluged in. Apple is way ahead with their new ARM Stuff.
@@BlingJ. they have this pixel waterfall thing that prevents oled burn. if u turn brightness way down u can see it sometimes. u can set the threshold in asus settings to make it less visible.
That clickbait image calls it an M1 "Killer", when "competitor" is the term you're actually looking for. This laptop, albeit nice, will only sell a tiny fraction of the units Apple's M1 Ultra will, and they will both be replaced by new hardware next year. No "killer" here.
10:25 false, you can get 96gb of ram from a macbook m2 max and its unified which feels like half of the needed on a standard windows device doing heavy workloads bc of the efficiency. And even running out of memory and swapping in ssd is not gonna be a worry due to the ssd swapping durability guarantee for years without any damage that professionals in computing affirms and doesn't happens in an standard ddr5 memory from the rest of the hardware manufacturers. That unified ram is also the VRAM of the gpu, you aren't limited to a sad amount of 8 gb of vram in literally 2023 bc nvidia wants it. And you aren't gonna get lower results every time you run a 10 minutes benchmark bc of x86 overheating issues that happens in a laptop
Btw the multicore performance is crazy high, hope all those intel efficiency cores are making it still usable on the go. In general, the best cost-effective full-featured desktop replacement for creators
You can also use what you call unified memory in Windows, although I don't know the limits of that feature. But it won't be as fast as onboard GPU memory.
You only left a small detail hidden, unplugged it form the wall and run the same tests again so we can see how it performs, you see, the Mac has exactly the same performance plugged or unplugged, thats why is called a Laptop, what you call this?
I have read comments on TH-cam channels complaining that the screen is not adequate. They also complain that JPG photos are saved with different colors despite having set all or RGB. Some users have had problems with the Asus Dial button not working with Adobe. Other users complain that when expanding the RAM to 64gb, the speed decreases and does not provide 100 percent. There are also complaints that the SD Express 7.0 card reader doesn't work well with all cards. I think you should review your presentation and do real tests with photo and video editing. Your review or presentation is incomplete.
Maybe a model of Rolls Royce line? As found the Asus Zenbook Pro Duo 16 or Zephyrus 16 duo more conducive as a creator's tool. Where 2nd screen can have not just one but many wheels and sliders controls for Adobe apps Photoshop,Premiere and Lightroom,etc.. Also the 2nd screen is creators playground for having additional apps reference material or putting video time line controls leaving main display for bigger playback window. In my opinion so much more creator creating then this laptop. And either just as powerful cpu,gpu and 120hz Oled screen to boot. So yes this is a great creators tablet. Just may not be the only one or even the top pick among creators.
I believe that's also a higher score than the M2 Ultra, which scores around 28600 or so, and has a pretty low single core score, around 1700. As you said, I think it should have had a better upper end GPU and more vram. Maybe an RTX 5500.
I'm a motion graphics designer in AE, and just getting into Blender to add to my skillset. I'm coming from a Mac pro late 2013 dual quad xeon processors, 1TB SSD, 128GB of RAM and dual ATI dual D700 6GB. It's no longer supported by Apple. It's definitely showing its age, and I'm looking for spacing/portability at this point. This came in with a review during my study. Any opinions to watch out for?
Asus should add an RTX 4080 and 128 RAM, and believe me, it will be sitting on the throne of laptops. It is truly better than RGB laptops, which is ridiculous.
For $2400, I can buy a used Wacom and 5 year old laptop from Amazon and still be able to pay rent. Then again, I do most of my drawing on paper, like a real knuckle-dragger.
Can you do a this vs the M2 Max MBP? Like Lightroom Export Times, Premier Pro timeline scrubbing and export times. I wanna see real world situtations because time is money. Specs are great but I want my work flow to be smooth and my export times to be fast.
@@karthikeyan53 I’m not specifically talking about battery life. I know x86 won’t be as good as ARM but I’m just curious on how it will perform while unplug. Usually high performance laptop with discrete graphics will perform extremely terribly on battery which defeat the whole purpose of portability. As for now only Apple can deliver such a high performance while on battery with their M-series chip. Performance will not cripple a tiny bit while unplug.
@@soraaoixxthebluesky Unplug performance won't be that good bro. Intel uses a 10nm processor. it will use up to 60W. On battery it will be limited to 25W, so Performance won't be good. Even Intel uses 60w on battery then laptop will die within 1.5hrs if laptop has 100wh battery. That's why power usage is limited in Intel laptops on battery and it deliveres bad performance. MacBook is different. Max power consumption of M2 pro is just 30W. MacBooks comes with 100Wh battery. So 30W usage will keep laptop upto 3hours. That's why MacBook perform same even in battery.
As much as I love other people opinions and as much as I respect Windows laptops for they're purpose you cannot say that it is an M1 killer. Because I9 + 4070 = Plugged in! Which kills the idea of laptop. Also battery will not be pretty good if you try compiling some code or doing some video editing (which you can't really do because you don't have enough power from battery to sustain the components). With all that said I love this laptop for what it is and what it achieves, but it's far from an M1 killer.
I just discovered your channel. I really like it. I am about to buy the Proart Pro 16. I am a video editor. The proart 16 pro that I am looking at comes with the RTX3000 ADA card 8GB. I think this is more modern and expensive card than the GeForce rtx 470 which is 12gb. I edit 4k and sometimes 5.7K video often 60P 10big 422 intra. Can you advise me on which card would be better for me. I've talked with some techs at Nvidia and they seem to think for professional editing I would want the ada card. Although I don't like the idea of a GeForce gaming type card perhaps I'm mistaken. Any light you could shed on the topic would be greatly appreciated. Also if you might recommend a laptop. Not so much the ROLLS ROYCE but something as good without all the fancy 3D bells and whistles that is maybe a cheaper but does the same job when it comes to editing video. For me I just want and need a laptop that will do the editing job well with a proper screen with pro color for grading. I use mostly adobe premiere but sometimes resolve. Thank you.
It's barely better than an M2 Ultra. What will make the Mac stand out even more is the power efficiency and battery life. Seriously. Like I am able to handle a intensive workload and it will still give a 5 hour or more battery life. This, like with all other PC laptops, will give me like 1-2 hours of battery, and the system will be automatically slower without being plugged in. The performance plugged in, I'm sure, runs circles around a lot of other things, just not this, mate. This might be the Rolls Royce of creator laptops, but I'd rather have the Honda Sport Hybrid that gets me 50MPG, with a 3% performance different, and not 23MPG...
I like ASUS products. I have two of their monitors, including a ProArt 2K 27", and two of their computers, a VivoBook S15 and the GR8 II. I guess you could say I'm a fan. The Studiobook is a sweet looking machine.
Hey man, thank you for the detailed video of this laptop. Its a great machine. I also like the background playing at time stamp 7:53 😅 Can you please tell me what song or music it is? If you can share the name or link, it would be great.
Why does the dual encoder matter from nvidia when you suggest to use the intel encoders / decoders? Or do the windows creator laptops not have intel igpu quicksync
Great video, hey what's your opinion with the cpu being cooled with liquid metal? Would frequent transportation like from your home to an office daily may affect the liquid metal??
I bought it two month ago and i have opened it many times since now. Liquid metal application is not very good but it cannot spill becouse there is a "sponge cage" around the CPU.
A great Video and interesting compare to the Zenbook Pro 14. im thinking to upgrade from my fully spec 13inch zenbook to a bigger screen notebook maybe the studiobook is a good decision for me. Can you maybe do tests in real life Creative Programms like the Adobe Cloud Exporting Illustrator or Photoshop Files or in AutoCad 2D and 3D modells and also the rendering of them.
you didnt really say in the video , but DDR5 modules 'know' if they are running as a single stick and can emulate dual-channel mode so in fact having only one sodimm is fine
Good but no way anywhere near mac in pro workflow because the power , power efficiency and display the build and the OS still needs a massive improvement
You got dislike. Your video thumbnail shows M2 ultra killer, but then there is no proper comparison with it! Just one mention. Please , you have great content, no need for clickbaits.

I always loved the ProArt design especially for laptops it seems that this year they went for cpu powerhouse with reduction to the gpu to save on power they easily could have used the proart 300W charger from Studiobook One W590, it seems weird though that last year's model is with a 3080ti 16GB and it's a 4070 8GB i know it's not apples to apples comparison but still it feels like they getting cheap on us😑 what do you think?
Kinda yeah, but at the same time, the price is $2400 which is crazy 'LOW' in the scope of things. I do wish we had an **80+ series GPU though ...
There isn't a 16gb of vram 4070 as I know, you need to go to the 4090, nvidia is getting stingy
It really does feel like they're cheaping out on us this year. For how much it costs and considering it calls itself a "creator laptop", I'd expect it to have at least a 4080.
Not just that - last year's model was being offered with 2x2TB SSDs. Now it's only 1x2TB SSD.
what about yearly maintenance, changing fans? and OLED burning? even if I forgive the glossy screen.
@@BlingJ. fans usually hold up and u can pay annual coverage for asus laptops depends on where you live
i have the 4070 version and your review is very good. you touch on a lot of stuff. so the screen on this thing is amazing, and i can game any game. without dls33 it can go down to 40 fps if u want native 3.2 resolution (yes a caveat is if u go lower res it kind of does look blurry or its my head playing w me) so u def want dls33 if u want to play latest games w high/ultra.
i really like this laptop. had it for 3 months now. bought for $2800 in thailand
Hello Dennis, I have a question for you. Do you have a heat problem on your laptop? I have a weird hot point between space and trackpad and center of the bottom, even laptop was on idle. Thank you.
@@dastanhoja i game on it so its hot. i just finished gaming and see point u talked about. on idle id have to check. one thing to know Fun+F changes from performance mode to standard. not sure what it actually does
What about build quality? Comparable with Macbook?
@@Zellebobba its all metal. screen is better cause 120hz. trackpad haptic but i cant say its amazing. some say its very good but i just dont use it as much, it works well but i think macbook trackpads are awesome that said i havent used one in a long time. speakers solid!!
Thnx for the info buddy. What other specs came in yours like the ssd, ram and I'm assuming you didn't get the ProArt Pro?
Yes this is great as long as you keep it plugged in. Once you unplug it you are going to lose a ton of perfomance. It might still be faster than the M2 but it might not. Also since its pulling over 100W my guess is that the battery will suck. This is nice device but It also has drawbacks and I think it is important to include those.
Great review.
I got this laptop mainly because of the screen but I also like that it's user expandable. I always try to buy laptops that are easy to upgrade and Asus made it a point to write the words "user expandable" in the specs.
I'll be getting another 32GB stick (the 2x48GB is not worth the extra cost right now) and a 4TB SSD for the second slot (already have a 2TB for the main one). SSD prices keep dropping so not having the SSD glued in or soldered on the motherboard is a huge pro.
how's the noise when working / editing?
Another "pro" feature is that is pc fails inbetween a backup, you just stick the m2 to another pc and retrieve your data or continue working. Good luck doing that on a "pro" mac.
Laptoptan memnun musunuz? Herhangi bir sorun ile karşılaştınız mı?
Nice laptop but for 2D drawers/painters like me the Surface Laptop Studio is still king.
Does the surface still needs to push down to activate the tablet pen? Or can you lightly hover on the surface without pushing down to get a light line ?
The i7 11375H being only 4 core 8 threads is hard to swallow though, not to mention only RTX 3050 with 4GB of VRAM
@@theCameraVilleCompared to the Surface Pro 4 I had, the new pen with the Surface Laptop Studio doesn't need as much pressure to draw a line. Diagonal lines are also much better to draw, barely any waviness compared to quite a lot with the old pen that I used on my Pro 4
I really hope I can wait for the second gen Laptop Studio before I have to buy a laptop for photography+studies. With the current 13th gen Intel laptops with rtx 4000 series graphics being as powerful as they are, it's hard to feel like 3k would be better spent on the Surface with hardware that's still way behind the others. Maybe I can buy a temporary laptop and return it when the surface is released tho. As long as it doesn't take half a year to be available in Europe again...
Isn't normal drawings pads better than touch screen stylus ones
I really like the way you did the sponsor segment at the beginning. It didn't stick out and I didn't immediately want to click off of the vid nice editing.
I was about to go for this Rolls Royce as a backup machine, but I read an Amazon review which describes a problem of temperatures!
I really thank all of you reviewers for all the hard work that you all putting in to give us viewers the right information to make a decision.
However, I request all of you reviewers to add one more parameter, Temperatures!
I bought a fully loaded workstation class laptop, i9, 128GB RAM, 4080, 1 x 2TB, 2 x 8TB, NVMEs, all the bells and whistles and the cost was a good 8-9K USD, fully configured. The big problem, Temperatures! Unusable temperatures. At am ambient room temp of 25C (77F) the surface temperature on the keyboards touching 40-45C (104- 113F) and the hinges and the bottom lid touching 52C (125F)! You could get second degree burns on your 'lap' ! Thankfully after fighting with them for months, temperature readings using my FLIR and when they had nowhere to go, they accepted to refund me for the entire machine.
I am going around pasting this same comment on all laptop reviews review videos. Please do not feel that I am trolling or pestering. I am just requesting you to add this to your reviews in the future.
I don't think it's the same laptop, coz they don't have a 4080 version of this...
I use last year's ProArt on AMD and with RTX3070, good machine. Will last 4-5 years, I think. Overall, ASUS makes very nice laptops, in my opinion.
Asus has a very bad customer service… almost non existent
How many hour do your laptop last on video editing?
@@ibanezyamato7885 true, sold my g15 advantage edition because they refused to release stable bios or drivers making it unuseable
The design resembles so much like my Lenovo Legion Slim 7
10:42 thanks for pointing that out. Really weird decision by Asus not giving us the option to upgrade to a 4080 because the ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X OLED can be configured with one.
I was close to buying this laptop till I saw your comment. So, if I am to use this for 3D modeling and video editing, how much performance difference is going to be between the 4070 proart and the 4080 zenbook?
@jourdanfarmer4037 I just came accros this video and saw your comment. I don't do 3D modeling really but i am a graphic and motion designer so i do a lot of 2D graphic animation. I plan to buy a new laptop the next month and i had a big crush on the asus proart. I use to play a lot as well on my free time so i'm looking for a powerfull laptop for my job and my freetime (i used to buy ROG but i want to try something else this time). Regarding the fact that i can't go higher than the 4070, do you think it's still a good purchase ? I want to invest in a high quality laptop that i can keep as long as i can and that can keep up with the video game industry as well throught the years.
You saved me a massive headache. Just got a windows 10 key from that site. Finally a good sponsor for once!
Can we just take a minute and appreciate the unboxing experience that Asus offers. I have a much cheaper Asus Pro 15 flip and still got a bag aswell.
yeah, right, because we all so much love to pay extra buck for one-time use boxes and plastic.🤡
Lmfao bro. Some people just love an experience hahaha
What you wanted to say is that the pen becomes an absolute pointing device (every pixel on the screen is mapped to the track pad), unlike the "sliding" action, such as the mouse or finger on the track pad, which are relative pointing devices.
You really like to say "exactly the same" a lot, don't you. Good review.
@theTechNotice I have the 4070 model and it has this mesh/dot pattern especially on bright colors probably due to digitizer layer. Did you notice something like this?, service replaced the screen but its still the same. Everything else is indeed Rolls Royce
what do you think about the new P16? Please make a comparison asap. I m a little dissappointed by the new line of products.. This laptop could be better for multicore productivity and cooling , but I am not sure. I m waiting for you to make new videos.
Because of your reaction to the cooling efficacy, i have decided to purchase this beast 🤣🤣🤣
Coming from Zephyrus M16 with 3070ti I can easily say this is an amazing laptop. I have been searching for a thin laptop equiped with a powerful GPU and CPU. Differences between 3070ti and 4070 are not really evident until you activate DLSS3 and FG but all Pro Art laptop is amazing. First of all the stunning OLED display!!
4070 looses to 3070ti in some games, Ngreedia is milking US.
What about build quality? How much better then Zephyrus M16? Comparable to Macbook or Samsung Book3?
a touchpad that works as a drawing tablet, love it.

Honestly they should have made a DUO version of the Pro Art series or should have come up with a version with the eGPU integrated with Lenovo 9i's idea of two screens. That would make me get one of these. I currently use the Zenbook Pro Duo. The extra screen is a boon but I would have wanted the abilities of the Lenovo 9i.
I used the original pro duo and back then (2019), it had everything you would want in a laptop dedicated to content creation. It was kind of considered part of the pro art series. Also, it was pretty much the only laptop with an 4K Oled screen. The pro duo series was supposed to be the ultimate content creator's laptop line, then they released the studiobook with quadro cards in it to make it clear that the studiobook is made for professionals/creators.
Since then, the pro duo has been pushed to the side a bit and catered to an enthusiasts oriented niche market, but is no longer the content creators' flagship. I was surprised to see how the latest iterations of the pro duo were ''worse'' than the earlier versions and it was clear to me that they gimped it in certain aspects (such as the 4k Oled screen) in order to not outshine the studiobook (which also started to have regular rtx cards). Currently (2023-2024), if you want the 4070 card, you need to go with the studiobook pro art because the pro duo only goes up to 4060 in Canada. Also, the pro duo no longer has a 15.6in oled 4k screen (14.5in with 2.8k res).
I understand why they had to do this from a business perspective but it kind of sucks for the consumers. The pro duo with the 12th gen and 3070ti outshined its studiobook counterpart in nearly every aspects and has superior tech/innovation so they had to gimp it in order to avoid market cannibalization as it is much easier to market ''pro art studiobook for content creators'' product lineup.
@@thng670 Thanks for the time to write about this. Yes definitely sucks when business minds take over rational thinking in terms of consumer friendly product categorization. Samsung is guilty of this as well. Such as shame. Asus can be amazing but does make poor decisions quite often. The thinness of the Zephyrus series is also missed for the new iterations. Sometimes they take several steps back for each step forward.
@@babyblu5590 yea it's pretty sad unfortunately. Yes Samsung is definitely guilty of this as well. The note series and the Z fold series are good examples. The Note series used to be the ultimate phone . It was Samsung's real flagship phone (even better than the official Flagship S series). It had all the best tech Samsung had to offer in one device. It came with a premium price of course but you used to get what you paid for. Nowadays, they seem to favour diversification of their products and sometimes have borderline "sus" pricing ladder strategies. You can't have one ultimate device anymore like you used to get with the note series (for example the note 9 or note 10+). I've owned a couple of Z fold series phones and recently the s23 ultra and it is clear to me that they do not wish the Z fold series to outshine the S Ultra (noticeably worse camera on the Z fold).
Again, I understand why they do this from a business perspective but I it does suck for the consumers. Samsung even made fun of Apple on social media because they didn't offer chargers anymore. Guess what? A year or two later, samsung stopped including chargers with the phone too. The note series had all the bells and whistles and was 1-2 generations ahead of the competition. They even used to include extras such as USB adapters and VIP service/perks with their most premium phones. The Z fold 2 even came with a free meal at a Michelin star restaurant, golf club, 1 free screen repairs , dedicated 24/7 phone/concierge service). The phone cost around 2200$-2400$ in 2020 which was ridiculous but they did their best to make sure that you get what you paid for.
I don't get the point with duo, just buy an extra portable monitor? I have two of those babies in my workbag all the time for whenever I need them. The problem with duo is that you cant use it in your lap because of the placement of the keyboard. It does not deserve to be called a laptop. Its literally a portable desktop with an attached screen....
Having extra monitors means more wires/plugs. Although this can be practical, it is too clunky and not an elegant setup for some. Not everyone wants to carry multiple monitors in their bag... Sometimes you just need a small secondary that gives you a quick boost in your workflow. The amount of time you save by not having to search or minimize multiple windows is often ignored. The Duo is great for this.
Using a laptop on your lap for a long period of time is a really uncomfortable experience anyway so just find a small desk or something. @@incognito7843
just got mine few days ago, happy to report it takes 2x48gb ddr5 5600 sticks!
Could you check if there is not SCREEN DOOR EFFECT in this display? It's very annoying and make laptops unusable in professional work. Did they avoid it here?
I got this and the display flickered black… needless to say >80% of buyers had similar hardware issues with Asus’ “rolls royce”. Save $100 and buy the Yoga Pro 9i
This monster vs ProArt PC, which is suitable for a small studio?
I thought m2 and m3 have been out for a while, why are we still trying to beat m1. Like the video, wish I had one of those laptops.
With the pen2 on the trackpad surface, will applying pressure cause a click, or does the pen near the surface activate palm rejection? Also, does it still provide haltic feedback with the use of pen? I am unsure of the trackpad upgrade from the physical buttons on the previous model.
Great benchmark score!
How is the battery life ? And is the bricked priblem solved now? I will be buying it this month
I just love ASUS/ROG
Great video!
Which one do you think is best for creators, this one or the 2023 Legion 7i Pro gen 8?
you call it an apple silicon "killer" yet when you unplug it from power it loses 70% of its performance and that battery life is less than 1/2 of a 16" mbp, plus the trackpadis nowhere near as good
on top of that the display doenst get bright enough for real hdr editing. yes its got more raw performance, but once you get to a certain point wither performance, it stops being a limiting factor and things like battery, brightness, trackpad, not having a giant chunk on the back, etc affect your experience much more than the performance difference.
Performance is the only thing that matters in a desktop, but in a laptop theres a much larger picture to look at.
If you use premiere as well, LTT said that they used a macbook pro 14 for a lot of server storage premiere tests because the macos version of premiere crashes much less and any performance gains provided by a more powerful computer are cancelled out by the sheer number of crashes.
And as mkbhd said, "can it run final cut?"
and because of these reasons, combined with my personal experience, I have a gaming pc and windows is terrible for creative work, i will be purchasing a macbook pro 16
Not sure where you get the 70% loss from.
@@akyhne well one of my personal laptops is the MSI Creator 16 AI Studio 16" with an rtx 4090 and it renders out a video plugged in 70% faster than when unplugged
The least performance drop I’ve ever seen in a 4000 series laptop was my friend’s razer book or whatever they call it which dropped 40% when unplugged
But even a 4090 40% slower still got outperformed by my work 16” MacBook Pro m3 max
Hello. Sorry for my english because i speak french !! In Switzerland we have the choice between the model RTX 3000 ADA and RTX 4070. For photo editing , do you advise me to take which model ? Good regards. Laurent
i have a question please, my best friend just reveived his own, and i tested it few hours to be sure this is the one i need, ok, it's built like a tank, may be the most solid laptop i ever seen, BUT the screen is soooo disapointing! i'm not talking about colors or brightness, i'm juste talking about PIXELS ! did you notice that pixels are NOT really SQUARE like a normal display ? i don't know how to explain that, but sharpness was not "normal" becose of the shape of pixels, at it disturbed my eyes, there is few artefacts that it's very noticable in white pages, it feels like you have a grid layer over the display, i taked a picture with macro lens to be sure, and the pictures was very strange, i never seen pixel shapes like this before ! so know i'm not really sure anymore that this is the laptop i need :( can you tell me if this disturbed you ? thank you
Thanks for the review. Nice to know that the ProArt series is in continuation. This almost works for my daw app in home studio. Guess Ill be holding out for the Z790 Motherboard and hope that they'll be back in favor eventually with a reliable warranty and bios. Still very interesting! I'll be watching Thanks again. Have any idea if the M.2 storage and ram will be upgradeable soon?
The port placement on the back looks clean but leads to busted connectors and jacks.
I'll take the physical buttons in the old trackpad over none.
surprise! this laptop series has RJ45 port,that many modern laptop manufactures abundant.
i love windows laptops and the portable performance nowadays, but the frustrating thing is that you can't use these laptops on 100% without the power brick pluged in. Apple is way ahead with their new ARM Stuff.
Well, that's a beautiful machine and also powerful.
what about yearly maintenance, changing fans? and OLED burning? even if I forgive the glossy screen.
@@BlingJ. they have this pixel waterfall thing that prevents oled burn. if u turn brightness way down u can see it sometimes. u can set the threshold in asus settings to make it less visible.
Thx..Nice review and obviously a very powerful machine (if I can afford it..)
SpatialLabs 3D edition Proart laptop is the king
Nobodys gonna see this but you should run the same test with the laptop not plugged in.
I did see your comment :-) And I agree
That clickbait image calls it an M1 "Killer", when "competitor" is the term you're actually looking for.
This laptop, albeit nice, will only sell a tiny fraction of the units Apple's M1 Ultra will, and they will both be replaced by new hardware next year. No "killer" here.
10:25 false, you can get 96gb of ram from a macbook m2 max and its unified which feels like half of the needed on a standard windows device doing heavy workloads bc of the efficiency. And even running out of memory and swapping in ssd is not gonna be a worry due to the ssd swapping durability guarantee for years without any damage that professionals in computing affirms and doesn't happens in an standard ddr5 memory from the rest of the hardware manufacturers.
That unified ram is also the VRAM of the gpu, you aren't limited to a sad amount of 8 gb of vram in literally 2023 bc nvidia wants it.
And you aren't gonna get lower results every time you run a 10 minutes benchmark bc of x86 overheating issues that happens in a laptop
Btw the multicore performance is crazy high, hope all those intel efficiency cores are making it still usable on the go. In general, the best cost-effective full-featured desktop replacement for creators
You can also use what you call unified memory in Windows, although I don't know the limits of that feature. But it won't be as fast as onboard GPU memory.
Nice review...how does this compare with Asus Rog Strix G18 4080,,,which is better for 3D?
I have last year's model and love it. Solid machine
It's called a protractor, dude.
The "angle measurements design" is an outline of a protractor....
You only left a small detail hidden, unplugged it form the wall and run the same tests again so we can see how it performs, you see, the Mac has exactly the same performance plugged or unplugged, thats why is called a Laptop, what you call this?
M1 Ultra killer, but we have M3 chips now 😂
can i use it as an alternative heat source in winter?
I have read comments on TH-cam channels complaining that the screen is not adequate. They also complain that JPG photos are saved with different colors despite having set all or RGB.
Some users have had problems with the Asus Dial button not working with Adobe.
Other users complain that when expanding the RAM to 64gb, the speed decreases and does not provide 100 percent.
There are also complaints that the SD Express 7.0 card reader doesn't work well with all cards.
I think you should review your presentation and do real tests with photo and video editing. Your review or presentation is incomplete.
this is an overview not a review :)
still one of the best videos of the channel
A dream machine! Unfortunately very pricey and hard to buy in Europe
There's some thing cool about Scandinavians with norther English accents. I say that as a South Londoner. It's still cool and I don't know why,
Not having advance Optimus is such a missed opportunity quite disappointed I have this laptop and I’m planning to change it
Anybody else watching this waiting for theirs to come in and know exactly how to use jt before you even turn it on?
Maybe a model of Rolls Royce line? As found the Asus Zenbook Pro Duo 16 or Zephyrus 16 duo more conducive as a creator's tool. Where 2nd screen can have not just one but many wheels and sliders controls for Adobe apps Photoshop,Premiere and Lightroom,etc..
Also the 2nd screen is creators playground for having additional apps reference material or putting video time line controls leaving main display for bigger playback window. In my opinion so much more creator creating then this laptop. And either just as powerful cpu,gpu and 120hz Oled screen to boot. So yes this is a great creators tablet. Just may not be the only one or even the top pick among creators.
These videos are making me stressed out for architecture school knowing that I should've saved up for a good computer 😭
Would be interesting with a review on how the ProArt runs on Linux, I am thinking about power consumtion, touchpad drivers and the wheel.
I believe that's also a higher score than the M2 Ultra, which scores around 28600 or so, and has a pretty low single core score, around 1700. As you said, I think it should have had a better upper end GPU and more vram. Maybe an RTX 5500.
Apple should put the M2 Ultra in the MacBook Pro models. Maybe the M3 Ultra will make it in the MacBook Pro models next year.
@@surfntrucksThey could put an Ultra inside if Apple decided to make a MacBook Pro 18.

I'm a motion graphics designer in AE, and just getting into Blender to add to my skillset. I'm coming from a Mac pro late 2013 dual quad xeon processors, 1TB SSD, 128GB of RAM and dual ATI dual D700 6GB. It's no longer supported by Apple.
It's definitely showing its age, and I'm looking for spacing/portability at this point. This came in with a review during my study. Any opinions to watch out for?
Am i the only one who is excited more for the backpack
Asus should add an RTX 4080 and 128 RAM, and believe me, it will be sitting on the throne of laptops. It is truly better than RGB laptops, which is ridiculous.
For $2400, I can buy a used Wacom and 5 year old laptop from Amazon and still be able to pay rent. Then again, I do most of my drawing on paper, like a real knuckle-dragger.
Can you do a this vs the M2 Max MBP? Like Lightroom Export Times, Premier Pro timeline scrubbing and export times. I wanna see real world situtations because time is money. Specs are great but I want my work flow to be smooth and my export times to be fast.

Do this. but only with both laptops unplugged from the power. Nothing else matters.
Great video!
What material is the case made of? Thank you.
What a beast of a CPU. But still curious how it will perform on battery performance-wise.
Battery won't be good. Intel still using shitty 10nm node.
Battery life won't get better until they start to use 4nm node.
@@karthikeyan53 I’m not specifically talking about battery life. I know x86 won’t be as good as ARM but I’m just curious on how it will perform while unplug.
Usually high performance laptop with discrete graphics will perform extremely terribly on battery which defeat the whole purpose of portability.
As for now only Apple can deliver such a high performance while on battery with their M-series chip. Performance will not cripple a tiny bit while unplug.
@@soraaoixxthebluesky Unplug performance won't be that good bro. Intel uses a 10nm processor. it will use up to 60W. On battery it will be limited to 25W, so Performance won't be good. Even Intel uses 60w on battery then laptop will die within 1.5hrs if laptop has 100wh battery. That's why power usage is limited in Intel laptops on battery and it deliveres bad performance.
MacBook is different. Max power consumption of M2 pro is just 30W. MacBooks comes with 100Wh battery. So 30W usage will keep laptop upto 3hours. That's why MacBook perform same even in battery.
As much as I love other people opinions and as much as I respect Windows laptops for they're purpose you cannot say that it is an M1 killer. Because I9 + 4070 = Plugged in! Which kills the idea of laptop. Also battery will not be pretty good if you try compiling some code or doing some video editing (which you can't really do because you don't have enough power from battery to sustain the components). With all that said I love this laptop for what it is and what it achieves, but it's far from an M1 killer.
Please, how hot does it get with intensive work ?
Meh where's the Nvidia GTX 4090 or the A series GPU? I'm looking for a GPU with 24gb built into it!
Its good. But an aluminium knob would be the ultimate touch this laptop needs. It used it and don't like its build quality much.
I just discovered your channel. I really like it. I am about to buy the Proart Pro 16. I am a video editor. The proart 16 pro that I am looking at comes with the RTX3000 ADA card 8GB. I think this is more modern and expensive card than the GeForce rtx 470 which is 12gb. I edit 4k and sometimes 5.7K video often 60P 10big 422 intra. Can you advise me on which card would be better for me. I've talked with some techs at Nvidia and they seem to think for professional editing I would want the ada card. Although I don't like the idea of a GeForce gaming type card perhaps I'm mistaken. Any light you could shed on the topic would be greatly appreciated. Also if you might recommend a laptop. Not so much the ROLLS ROYCE but something as good without all the fancy 3D bells and whistles that is maybe a cheaper but does the same job when it comes to editing video. For me I just want and need a laptop that will do the editing job well with a proper screen with pro color for grading. I use mostly adobe premiere but sometimes resolve. Thank you.
It's barely better than an M2 Ultra. What will make the Mac stand out even more is the power efficiency and battery life. Seriously. Like I am able to handle a intensive workload and it will still give a 5 hour or more battery life. This, like with all other PC laptops, will give me like 1-2 hours of battery, and the system will be automatically slower without being plugged in. The performance plugged in, I'm sure, runs circles around a lot of other things, just not this, mate. This might be the Rolls Royce of creator laptops, but I'd rather have the Honda Sport Hybrid that gets me 50MPG, with a 3% performance different, and not 23MPG...
I like ASUS products. I have two of their monitors, including a ProArt 2K 27", and two of their computers, a VivoBook S15 and the GR8 II. I guess you could say I'm a fan. The Studiobook is a sweet looking machine.
what about yearly maintenance, changing fans? and OLED burning? even if I forgive the glossy screen.
@@BlingJ. Changing fans? Do you really do that yearly?
This is a good looking product. Not those low quality, RGB filled, plastic laptops. Looking at you MSI (and others).

Is stylus pen included in the package already or buy sperately?
Why does the dual encoder matter from nvidia when you suggest to use the intel encoders / decoders? Or do the windows creator laptops not have intel igpu quicksync
Great video, hey what's your opinion with the cpu being cooled with liquid metal?
Would frequent transportation like from your home to an office daily may affect the liquid metal??
I bought it two month ago and i have opened it many times since now. Liquid metal application is not very good but it cannot spill becouse there is a "sponge cage" around the CPU.
A great Video and interesting compare to the Zenbook Pro 14. im thinking to upgrade from my fully spec 13inch zenbook to a bigger screen notebook maybe the studiobook is a good decision for me. Can you maybe do tests in real life Creative Programms like the Adobe Cloud Exporting Illustrator or Photoshop Files or in AutoCad 2D and 3D modells and also the rendering of them.
