![[BUDGET] Step-By-Step DDR5 RAM + m.2 SSD Upgrade GUIDE! | ASUS ProArt Studiobook 16 [2023]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/TASoDYIOlNY/mqdefault.jpg)
This channel deserves more recognition, damn
Our thoughts exactly! :D
Thanks a lot, we are glad you enjoy our content!
Hi! Strictly in terms of display quality, how would you compare this model versus the Zephyrus Duo 16? Mostly for gaming, but for other productivity purposes as well. Thank you!
One of the best channels in youtube!!! 🙏🏻
Wow, thanks!
I would love to see a 14.5" version of this in a slightly slimmer chassis with centered keyboard.
THanks for the review .. but according to Asus website, both USB-C ports are Thunderport 4 not just one of them as you said.
Hi @NotebookcheckReviews , Can you upload an example image of the grainy touchscreen display that you mention? That will help on whether I decide to buy this laptop or not.
well i have the 4070 model(MY121X) let me tell you, you will see mesh/dots in whites and bright colors very apparently. I see it from 50 cm distance. I have sent the laptop to service which they replaced the screen and it came back identical. Everything else on laptop is amazing, way above expectations and you wont find something similar on the market except maybe macbook pro
I just went to MicroCenter to see this in person. It’s there if you look very close to it, and kinda makes everything look a tad shade darker (as if the brightness isn’t turned all the way up).
I feel it’s not going to bother me, and honestly, had no one told me about it, I probably wouldn’t have noticed it.
That being said, I ordered one, we’ll see how it looks.
what's a counterpart of this that's light?
Thanks for the review, have ordered one :). what laptop stand did you have the Studio book sitting on?
Nice! It was just a foldable thingy that came with the Zenbook Pro 14 I was reviewing simultaneously!
Have you enjoyed your proart and have you had any BIOS or warranty issues?
@@austinholt6072 It was for my daughter who is doing a Game Art course so lots of Maya, Adobe, UnReal engine use and it is all going well. No issues with anything going wrong yet. She loves it.
NO! YOU have been amazing! 🤩
Oh thank you!
Please review the msi creator z16 hx studiobook as well
I will look into it!
Does this also have bios update problems???
I am confused between asus proart studiobook 4070 and asus rog flow x16 4070
Please tell me what should i buy?
I need the laptop for gaming and video editing
We had no problems with our sample; that is the only thing I can tell you.
I recommend the Flow X16, unless you need the additional CPU performance or the more robust port selection of the ProArt.
I got the base model and was disappointed to not get a stylus in the box for that config. My only other frustration is that the lock port is the size of a standard Kensington slot, but only works with their Slim style of locks and not the standard T-bar designs due to a shorter-than-spec roof inside the slot. Otherwise it seems to be really solid and I've enjoyed having it. Afaik this is one of the only laptops with a touch screen, discrete graphics, and removable ram/ssd/wifi.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I thought the stylus was always included, especially given the touchpad functionality. That is a bizarre decision from Asus.
Which stylus pen are you using? I wanted to get one for my asus proart studiobook, but I am not sure which model is compatible. Thanks
You can use the ASUS pen 2.0, or any MPP2.0 stylus would also work, compatible with both the Studiobook pro version and non-pro version.
wait omg the pen on the trackpad? this is the only channel where I've seen that!
It is an awesome feature that nobody else offers!
Hey Alex, what laptop(s) do you use as a daily driver?
Macbook pro of course
Hi, I was thinking about buy this laptop, two weeks ago, there was a bios update throw the windows update that " brick" the laptop and the solution was in a reddit post and some you tubers made a video about how to solve the problem but the solution was disabling drivers update. Had you the problem? Is any way to know if the problem is solved? Thanks very much for your reviews are awesome!
Hi there, somebody else mentioned this already. Our unit worked fine, without any problems ... is it a widespread issue?
@@NotebookcheckReviews also Tech Notice was recommend this laptop and he made a video exposing the problem, and another fixing it
@@NotebookcheckReviewsyes it is. It seems that happened to all pro art studiobook and other asus zen and vivobook with the last bios update throw windows update
Some say the bricking only occurs with the Ryzen models. Has anyone found the bricking to occur with Intel?
Pity it's just a 16" device and they haven't released the Scar 18/Strix G18 in ProArt style, without the useless RGB but still with larger screen with taller aspect ration, possibly with an OLED or miniLED tech, and a chassis that's capable of supporting 4080 or 4090 class GPUs with more VRAM than the 4070 can offer... I guess it's still just the MSI Titan to somewhat attempt this DTR recipe, maybe the Acer Triton 17x as well, but neither is OLED nor 18+"...
The Asus Pen 🖊 get used this laptop 💻, is it convenient to draw on screen,...? Does this laptop having tablet mode? Screen can rotate 180°...? 360°?
It works pretty well, but I would not work like that for more than 1-2 hours. But you can use the pen on the touchpad, which is simply amazing.
The tablet does not have tablet mode.
The links in the description for the written reviews bring you to Asus Zenbook Pro 14 OLED review.
Fixed, thank you!
Thanks
Sure thing!
Is the stylus included in the box?
Yes, it is!
@@NotebookcheckReviews holy molly, best laptop ever!
As an user of this laptop I did find after in depth research that SD card reader poor performance is not about sd card compatibility. Asus did forget to mention SD Express standard is not back compatible with all SD card standards so the reader can be fast only when you use special SD EX cards, which are non existent in for ex. photography world. SD express 7.0 reader reads either ancient SD UHS 1 or SD EX standard, and nothing in between (sic!) which means every other card than SD EX will get speeds only up to 90MB/s which is crazy slow in 2023.
I returned mine. The off center keyboard drove me nuts. Why add a numpad to a creators laptop ?
?
@@lil_brumski if you come from a no-numpad (dedicated number keys) laptop, your hands would have to rest way more to the left and my leftmost fingers kept going over the laptop chassis. It is not easy to find your way in this keyboard if you are not used to a numpad. how many video editors type exce spreedshets to the point that need a numpad? I dont get it.
Yeah I hate the numpad too
Whenever a laptop this size comes without a num-pad, you will have an equal amount of people complaining about it. It will always come down to personal preference. I can work with both, I do not really miss the numpad if its not there, but I appreciate it if I have one at my disposal.
@@NotebookcheckReviews glad it works for you. I dont oppose numpads if they dont come at the cost of ergonomics or comfort when using the laptop. shrinking laptops sizes and adding numpads are mutually inconsistent design choices if you ask me.
Hey
I am having problem in picking one laptop. Can you please help me by telling the which one is better. 1 is asus rog flow z13 and 2 is Lenovo legion 5 pro both have intel i7 processor in it.
It's very different machines. You need to choose what is your main use case - portability or raw power & big screen.
I have to do some office work , trading , coding and bit of gaming
@@user-fx2eh3ly2i z13 only have 16gb max ram. I have previously ROG flow x13 with 16 soldered ram, it's a lot of pain. I can recommend you x13 with 13 gb ram if you want so much portability as you can. Or buy legion & upgrade by yourself. Legion have better value/performance per dollar ratio.
@@hvasya legion 5 pro or other legion are better
Or can you suggest me any other brands laptop
Hey what keyboard is it at 13:30?
My trusty Ducky Mecha SF Emerald! :)
Ok Leute, eure Website ist mit Abstand die beste im Bezug auf Notebook Test, hier fehlt mir allerdings ein sauberer Lüfter Vergleich. Es ist ein Creator NB und Ihr zeigt Cyberpunk - interessiert nicht die Bohne. Ich will doch Anhang realen Tests sehen wie das NB in LR, PS oder Premiere/Davinci performt. Könnt ihr dazu eine Aussage treffen? Ich würde das Ding echt gerne haben, kann aber die Lüfter für meinen usecase überhaupt nicht einschätzen .
yes but will it run crysis 3
Im sure it does! ;)
Hi, and thx for the video!
I have just bought this same notebook, with RTX4070, and every time I open Premiere Pro and go to almost any menu, it crashes! And this is no hobby for me and lots of money, and ASUS don´t have a solution. Do you use Premiere Pro, and no problem? THX
Reinstalled win11 several times, and even just updated the OS and just installed PPro, and the same sh...
I am really getting mad at ASUS as this is supposed to be the jewel of the company, and read that many users have the same problem. Besides, all review talk about specs but not one shows them at full workload.
Damn, that does hectic. I tested our sample with Resolve without any problems, and trust me, our stresstests are also no joke. Have you tried a different version or premiere?
@@NotebookcheckReviews yes, 2023 and 2024
Weird, as I can open Lumetri but not the scopes. I csn even edit with Lumetri. But as soon as I open Preferences or Export Media, it crashes.
@@MarcelloScotti any resolution as of yet? I work with Vegas mainly, but am wondering if there is a wide spread video rendering issue with this laptop.
@@AshevilleVideography hi, and thanks for asking!
You won´t believe it...
As the notebook was brand new, I haven´t used the camera yet. So, I had a Signal meeting and .... OMG, the camera didn´t work!
So I recalled the problem I had with my Zenbook Pro Duo, that wouldn´t let me open Premiere Pro because the integrated mic didn´t work. I send it to ASUS and they had to change the whole screen board. 900 euros but fortunately still under warranty.
Back to the problem.
I deleted the camera driver, and still the same. Deleted Nvidia and the same. I reinstalled win11 and JUST updated WIN11 and installed Premiere Pro and... still crashing. So, I thought maybe Nvidia was stepping on the ASUS controller, but... where to find the original controllers? Wrote to ASUS and nothing. They sent me a link but ... useless, as usual.
So, I had to go deeper. I went to the Device Management, looked for the camera, properties, device ID and copied the "hidden" id sequence. Googled for it. deleted Nvidia, installed the driver I found, installed Nvidia, and reinstalled the camera driver once again. AND BINGO! It worked. And so far everything is doing great. Tech people under salary are usually very limited.
So, short version: Nvidia was stepping on the camera driver and at ASUS you can´t find a repository with controllers (HUGE mistake), so I had to find it myself, and to find myself the solution.
Thanks for asking!!
Thank god for the normal sized arrow keys. I wish more manufacturers liberated themselves from the Jony Ivy way of doing things, and put back functionality over aesthetics.
:D well said. But a lot of manufacturers are doing it recently.
Amazing review but you forgot to tell about the 3D technology that it has .
Thank you mate, the SKU with the 3D display is not out yet!
If only they would release a 4080 version at least, better still a 4090, that's what I would need as a full time video editor, great laptop but a 4070 just doesn't quite do it for me. Been using my older Razer blade pro with a 3080 and that struggles depending on the codec. The cpu is a definitely an upgrade but without that higher spec gpu it not worth it for me anyhow, pitty because it's great machine
My thoughts exactly. There are too few "creator" notebooks with 100W 4080s or 4090s. Sure, they would be expensive, but when you make money with it, cost is a bit of a different matter.
@@NotebookcheckReviews Hi, yes exactly, when it's what you do for a living it's kinda necessary, nothing worse than clients on your heels and dealing with time pressure and a machine that is not playing ball.. It's still an expense sure but at a certain level you decide it's a worthwhile investment. Do you know of any other "creator laptops" that are currently available with 4080 /4090 cards? The Razer and the Lenovo are the only ones I know of?
Even the Msi creators are excellent for graphic design etc. But for video they don't spec them out with higher end GPU'S
I was actually looking into that myself the other day. The ROG M16 comes to mind, the MSI Stealth 17 Studio also comes with a 100W 4080. And there is a Zenbook Pro 16 OLED which also comes with a 4080. I am trying to get my hands on that one.
@@NotebookcheckReviews oh excellent, thanks I'll take a look at those. Hopefully you get your hands on one would be interested in seeing
How come you didn't address the laptop bricking after the Windows and BIOS update? So many people are forced to return this laptop because it got bricked.
Because this is the first time I have heard about it, and we did not encounter any problems. And our machine is up to date ....
where is speaker tesr
Crappy like every windows laptop
you must have the perfect life.........
What makes you think that?
Only one usb4? That is absolutely horrible for a power laptop like this!
80MB/s SD card transfer rate is not just "only average" ;) It is just garbage when you call your laptop with "pro" or "creator". It is a waste of room when you have 280MB/s capable cards
Grainy touch OLEDs. Wobbly chassis from typing on a $1,800 plastic Vivobook Pro 16X OLED without the touch layer. Atrocious battery life in miniLED Yogas. Why can't life be fun?
Still, thank you for covering all the options possible. Some solid laptops have so few customer reviews one can't ever make a remotely informed purchase.
For me the dell xps is the way to go
@@dracoxruiz2563 the GPU is kneecapped, and Dell seem still seem to be going for louder fans and/or thermal throttling whenever there is a tradeoff to make
@@MrEstarion yes, but thin and light with a good overall laptop experience at such small size only one is the dell and maybe the asus rog flow series, but they have liquid metal that i dont like
I will wait for 2024 xpa 15, i wish:
1. Meteor lake is 20% less energy
2. More bright oled screen, maybe 120hz
3. Vapour chamber cooler
4. Maybe bigger battery
5. Some slight design changes because of redesign
6. Upgradable ram, ssd and wifi
