The Asus ProArt P16 is a certified banger — a utilitarian beast of a gorgeous laptop that is packed with a eye-meltingly spectacular 4K OLED panel, and a mighty power pairing of the new AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 chipset and RTX 4070 graphics. Combine all of this with a legitimately useful software suite, a built-in DialPad that allows for impressive precision in creative apps (alongside being able to control key functions like volume and brightness), and you’ve got a monster of blistering creative performance. And speaking of that suite, a lot of these tools are infused with AI.
But don’t get me wrong, these aren’t just gimmicks. From brainstorming and conceptualizing an idea with MuseTree (basically a more advanced version of Paint’s CoCreator with an ideas tree thrown in there) to intelligently collating your photos and videos into one app categorized intelligently with AI, the P16’s app selection gets out of the way of you expressing your creativity. It’s not perfect, don’t get me wrong: Without any discrete GPU options above RTX 4070, this will limit its creative potential; under heavy loads, the fans kick up a storm; the display is locked at game-limiting 60Hz; and the SSD loading speeds are a little on the slow side.
But when you’re thinking about picking up an all-in-one creator laptop that can keep up with whatever you throw at it, from photography and videography to music creation and advanced AI production, this is the MVP — even when compared to the.
