the most demanding 4K video editing workflows, plus it offers all the computing you'll need for AI tasks. Now, eagle eyed viewers may have noticed that I haven't really talked about the elephant in the room, the processor. As of recording this video, all that I can say is that this is using the new Strix Point AMD next generation mobile APU. We should be seeing updated Zen CPU cores, better RDNA graphics, and a healthy dose of NPU power for AI tasks. But I'm sure that future Austin will have more details to share down the line.

Speaking of future Austin, I'm here at Computex, where I also got hands-on with the third new member of the ProArt family. This is the PZ13. Now at first glance, it looks like a Surface-style tablet. There are a couple of major differences between this and the rest of the line. First and foremost, this is water-resistant. So it's not waterproof mind you, but it is designed to be taken about as a tablet. You can get it a little bit wet. But on top of that, it also does come with the keyboard and trackpad attachment, as well as the kickstand included. On top of that, this is powered by a Snapdragon processor, which means that of course, it is a Copilot+ PC and you should have solid battery life with your tablet form factor.

So if you think about the bigger ProArt laptops designed for more heavy-duty creative tasks, this is going to be a little bit more for graphics work and things that are going to be a little bit lighter weight. But even still, this is a really unique member of the ProArt family. My personal favorite has to be the much smaller ProArt PX 13. No surprise there, right? I mean, I just can't say enough about the 13-inch form factor. Like seriously, I wish more laptop makers would take cues from ASUS.

Now it is a little bit thicker to accommodate the robust cooling and the very similar performance you get to the P16, but you absolutely cannot beat this level of portability. The performance is pretty much what you'd expect from a ProArt. It's almost on par with the P16, only falling behind in things like maximum RAM, storage space, and 115 watts of TDP compared to 120 watts on the P16.

But trust me, it's got more than enough muscle to handle high-res video editing and other demanding creative tasks. Now, I do have to say that I can't fully evaluate the performance of this laptop, mostly because it is running not only unfinished hardware but especially unfinished software. So none of the performance profiles really properly loaded, and some things just outright aren't working on this early sample just yet.

So stuff like the Dial Pad is a very cool idea in theory to allow you to easily have shortcuts or be able to scroll through tools. Unfortunately, it's not working on this device just yet. Of course, it'll be working on the device once it actually starts shipping, but that kind of just speaks to a larger overall point, specifically with the PX13.

This is a somewhat unique device in the market. So it starts at $1,600. This is the more maxed-out configuration, which I assume is a little bit more. But what you're getting at that fairly expensive price is a ton of theoretical performance. Again, I can't fully evaluate right now, but with 115 watts of TDP, with the Ryzen Mystery Processor, and a 4070 inside, I mean that's a lot of horsepower that's on tap.

And the fact they've done all this with a large battery in a chassis, which is this sort of small. And I say thick, but you can see even on the side, like it's not that thick. It's a little bit thicker like an HDMI or something. And obviously with the 16, which I've not given as much shine, that has pretty much all the same features, all the same advantages and everything.

But like, I mean, let's be real. Were you ever gonna doubt that I was gonna prioritize the little guy? It's just so small. If you put all this together with that mysterious AMD processor, which theoretically is a big leap in pretty much every single way, both of these ProArt laptops really are a shot in the arm for the ProArt line.

It's a smart move to take what works with that gaming line and expand it with features that are designed specifically for creators. So thank you very much to ASUS for sponsoring this video. You can check out both the P16 and PX13 at the links in the description. And stay tuned, there's still a whole lot more to come from Computex this year.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- So all I knowis that ASUS are sponsoring this videoapparently on the brand new ProArt.Now, we recently took a lookat the S16, the Zenbook,which I will say is avery impressive laptop.If you haven't seen that video,definitely go check it out.But because this is the week of Computex,there's a whole lot of stuff going on.I've seen this before.So if you're unfamiliar,ASUS, their ProArt line,it's a little bit more creator focused,and does it really comewith a whole backpack?(material scratches)(chime rings)Quality right there.Inside we have the laptop.So it's definitely like a larger device,like 15, 16 inches or so.All right, inside we'vegot the ASUS ProArt.Ooh, this looks a little familiar.This is giving me some G16 vibes.Well, okay, so I will actually say though,even though it feelssimilar to the Zephyrus G16,which I will say is aterrific 16 inch laptop,we did a video on that at CES.So you can check that out.So it's got the little, the ASUS dial,I forget, there's a specific name for it,but it actually has a littledial, which you can use.- The Dial Pad.- Dial Pad, thank you very much.It also does have a full sizeSD card slot on the side,so it looks like it's been tweaked a bit.We also have USB-A, USB-C, full size HDMI,the power, headphonejack, the whole thing.We also have ourselves a, ohthat's a nice looking display.Yeah, 3840x2400.So it's a much higher resolution display.Let's actually take alook at the spec here.64 gigabytes of ram!- Woo!- 64?And dual SSDs, what?Whoa, whoa, whoa.Hold on a second, hold on a second.We have two 2 terabyte SSDs?Of course we have the NPU built inand a 4070, which is interesting,but it makes a lot of sense,because once you go up tolike the 4080 and the 4090,the power requirementsare significantly higher,and it really means thatif you're gonna put thatin a laptop, you need to be thickerwith the cooling to match.But a 4070 actually Ithink is a good match.So we've got ourselves a 200 watt adapter.You have included in thebox the ASUS Pen 2.0.So if you think about this as a device,this is really meant for creators.You can still game on it of course,just like how you could docreative tasks on a G16,but they put a littlebit more of the budgettoward the super highresolution OLED display,the additional ports, such asthe full-size SD card reader,and you've got massive amounts of RAM.You've got this Ryzen processor,which of course has the AI functionality.On top of that, you also have stufflike the matte black coating.The only thing I'll say, and Isaid this also about the S16,so this is really a personalsort of thing for me.A 16 inch laptop is a littlebit on the bigger side.Like I prefer like a 13, 14 inch,something that's a littlebit easier to carry.Now I will give themthat this is quite thinand quite light for somethingthat has this kind of horsepower,like it's easily gonna fit in your bag.- ASUS has your back.(shouts in fear)- Okay, okay, okay.Don't, no more throwing laptops.Wait, there's two.- Yeah.- We're not just doing, oh,I thought the video was just on this.What's?- Well, why don't you open the box.- So I'm assuming that thisis a more portable versionof the ProArt.Oh, it's a little guy.Okay.- It's your favorite.- Oh, I was just sayingthat I wanted a smaller one.They have a small, okay.That's not just a little bit smaller.The whole box is like dwarfed by the 16.Hold on a second.Now what are we looking at here?What is this?Is this the ProArt?- That is the ProArt PX13.- 13, okay, can I justtake a real quick second?13 inch laptops are basically dead.Everyone has moved on to 14 inch laptops,and that's fine, because ifyou've got a 14 inch laptopwith really thin bezels,it's about the same size as an old 13.But what I like is aphysically smaller footprint.Now I'll say this isactually a little bit thickerthan you might expect from the side.Not like crazy, but it's alittle bit of extra thickness.But it is cooling, cooling, cooling.Look at this, huge vents onthe side, vents on the bottom,Vents also on the back.Like this thing, even though it's small,I'm gonna guess that they're packingsome real performance in here.This series of ProArt laptopsare essentially the professionalcousins of the gaming line.And I think that's a really smart move,because so many people willgo out and buy a gaming laptopto maybe do some gaming, butalso to get real work done.You know, whether you'rerunning Photoshop,or 3D rendering, or whatever the case is,video editing especially,there's nothing wrong with that.A lot of gaming laptops have apretty color accurate displayand plenty of performance,but having a morededicated creator option,which could do gaming,but also importantlygive you more featuressuch as that high resolution display,or touchscreen, or whatevermakes a lot of sense.Also, I love the matte blackcoating on these things.They look sick.Inside we have, oh my god, I love it.Oh it's so goodand it even rotates all the way back.Bro.It also has a very large touchpadwith the Dial Pad in the middle.You do have a decent selection of ports,including HDMI, USB-C,aux, USB-A, micro SD card.But importantly, this isdefinitely a touchscreen,'cause you can rotate all the way around.Dude, I irrationallylike how tiny this is.Like just compared to the16, like great laptop,I'm gonna spend some time with it.Yeah, of course.But my heart goes out to the little guy.Because if you can getremotely similar performanceon the smaller form factor, to me,I'm always gonna be about that.So it's rocking an 1800P OLED touchscreen.Yes, so it is also Ryzen powered,and we were outfitted with32 gigs of RAM on this,and a single two terabyte drive.So obviously with thesesmaller form factors,not gonna be quite as much space,but importantly it isalso rocking an RTX 4070.Holy, this is a little guy, right?It's fairly lightweight.I don't have the exact spec of it on hand,but like it's a small,thin, 13 inch device.If they could push anykind of reasonable TDPthrough this system, thisthing should be solid,just because the cooling seemsto be such a huge part of it.I mean, again, like so muchof the sides, and the top,and the back are dedicated to the vents.- I can tell youwhat the peak TDP is.- Peak TDP, hit me.- 115 watts.- Hoo.For context, the S16, which is of coursea much larger device,much less creator focused,that has a 28 watt TDP.Can I open it up?I think I'm gonna open it up.(Alex laughs)- He hasn't even turned it on.Oh god.- I did turn it on, I did turn it on.No, no, I just wanna look and see,because you know, a thin device is great,and lovely, and wonderful,but if I could instead have aslightly smaller form factorwith a little bit of extra thicknessto fit a full-sized batteryand plenty of cooling,I will take that any day.Of course, to be super clear,this video sponsored by ASUS, right?I have a lot of good friends at ASUS,so I'm not gonna say thatI'm like completely unbiasedor anything, but they've beenkind of killing it lately.ASUS are kind of going outhere doing side quests,making some unique form factors, which,depending on who youare, might be perfect.There's a little sticker here.Can you see that?Just a little zoom in there,on the little sticker there.I'm probably not supposedto take that off,but if I accidentally letmy screwdriver land on itand accidentally take that screw off,no one will notice, right?You won't tell them if Idon't tell them, right?- You don't think they're watchingthis video right now?- What?You think ASUS watches my videos?I love you guys.Inside we've got, oh mygoodness, look how, look at that.(Austin laughs)- Ooh.- Wow, okay, first question.That battery looks small, but it's not.Dude, this is what I'm talking about.If you look at the physicalsize of this battery,it looks really small, right?This is 73 watt hour battery.That is a properly large battery.So even though the battery doesn't take upa huge amount of this sort of space,it's still gonna probably giveyou very solid battery life.Those speakers are probably gonna drivesome pretty decent volume.So it's got a smaller physical SSD,you can swap it out if you want,but it is a smaller form factor.Again, because it's a 13 inch laptop,I'm sure they're trying to consolidate itas much as possible.That's a two terabyte drive.But this looks like thesame kind of form factorthat you get in somethinglike a Steam Deck,or a Surface or something,or an ROG Ally, I believe.And we also have our Wifi 7 module.So there's a lot going onhere with this cooling setup.So we have dual fans, sowe have ourselves the CPU,and I assume the GPU is on this side.But we have, okay, so one heat pipe,2, 3, 4 heat pipes.Now it does have soldered on RAM,which I'll be honest, isbecoming very, very common,especially when it comes tothese higher powered CPUs,just because they're runningat very, very high clock speedsand you can tell that there'snot exactly a lot of spacefor anything in here.Without knowing the price of this,I'm gonna guess that thisis probably not gonna beinsanely expensive.I mean obviously you knowyou got a Ryzen 9 presumably,like a 4070, it's not gonna be cheap,but you're getting, I think,a lot of cooling capability with this.Basically what they're doing hereis they're using acombination of liquid metaland honestly just abunch of big heat pipes,big fans, and a lot of cooling, right?Like they're coolingthis the old school way,which again comes down to the factthat it's a little bit thicker,but that extra thicknessenables this thingto have way more performance,way more battery life.Look, it's such a complete no-brainer.So lemme put this laptop back together,spend some time with boththe 13 as well as the 16.But I gotta say, on first glance,especially this 13 has myname written all over it.I mean, how can you notwant a little physical dudewith a little bit thickness,but a whole lot of performance,a whole lot of heart,a whole lot of soul?So let's start out with the powerhouse,the ProArt P16.Right off the bat, the displayis a major differentiatorfrom the G16.We're looking at a 4KASUS Lumina OLED panel.Not only is it a useful16:10 aspect ratio,but it's also a full touchscreen,which works with the included ASUS Pen.Now I know that some ofyou might be thinking,isn't this an awful lot likethe ROG Nebula OLED on the G16?And while both displays are impressive,there's a key difference here.The Nebula display is tunedfor gaming performance,super high refresh rates,crazy peak brightness, that whole deal.The Lumina on the otherhand is laser focusedon creative work.Think color accuracy, 4Kresolution, color gamut coverage,the stuff that matters to professionals.It's funny, performance wise,both creator and gaming laptopsactually have like a prettysimilar demand these days.But what really standsout to me here is the RAM.You can pack the P16 with upto a whopping 64 gigabytesof 7,500 mega transfers DDR5 memory.That is insane in a laptop,even compared to somehigh-end gaming rigs.Seriously, I don't care ifyou're rendering 8K videoor training a complex AI model,you are not going to be hurtingfor RAM with this beast.Well, unless you're one of our producerswith a million browser tabs open.Alex.- Guilty.- Aside from that stampede of RAM,you can also spec this thingwith up to an NVIDIA RTX 4070.That's more than enough horsepowerfor even the most demanding4K video editing workflows,plus it offers all the computeyou'll need for AI tasks.Now, eagle eyed viewers may have noticedthat I haven't really talkedabout the elephant in the room,the processor.As of recording thisvideo, all that I can sayis that this is using the new Strix PointAMD next generation mobile APU.We should be
