Asus announced updates to its ProArt line of laptops, including 4K OLED displays across the entire range and the choice between an Intel or AMD processor.
Asus announced updates to its ProArt range of laptops at the Create the Uncreated event on Thursday. The Studiobook, Zenbook, and Vivobook ranges are getting new models featuring 4K OLED displays, as well as the choice between an Intel or AMD processor. The Studiobook range is the most expensive of the lot, targeting “creative pros,” according to Asus. There are four models available, two of which sit under the “Pro” umbrella. The Studiobook Pro 16 models are built with workstation-class parts, including up to an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX or an Intel Xeon W-11955M. These models come with Nvidia workstation graphics cards instead of GeForce cards, as well. The AMD platform features an RTX A2000 card, while the Intel platform goes up to an RTX A5000 card. The non-Pro models feature either an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX or Intel Core i9-119000H, paired with up to an RTX 3070 or RTX 3060, respectively. The exciting news is that all four models have access to a 16-inch 16:10 4K OLED display. OLED panels naturally have bright colors, deep blacks, and wide contrast (Asus says these panels come with a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio). Studiobook displays come factory calibrated, as well, with Delta-E values of less than 2, and Pantone and Calman certifications. In addition, the new Studiobook range comes with Asus Dial. This is a tiny rotary switch that sits between the keyboard and trackpad, which you can use in the operating system and creative apps.
