I needed laptop for mobility issues. I've decided on this notebook after i watched your review about it. Im using same model for 5 months by now. Im 3d artist, and it can handles projects i work on. I didn't faced problem yet. Touch screen is really fun to sculpt and paint on besides graphic tablet. I will upgrade RAM and SSD next. Thanks a lot Lauri!
I have the 4060 version. I'm pretty sure that's the only hardware difference from yours, but my experience differs in two things: 1) I don't get significant warm up during charging, 2) I have the 2.5Gb ethernet. I also do like the keyboard, especially how sturdy the base is and how cool it stays due to fan air pass-through design. Great videos, keep'em coming!
@@alvinamana1459 that shouldnt matter, even if you have a 1000watt brick, the brick will not give the power, its the device that asks the power, and it will not ask 240w im pretty sure., it will request a certain voltage and amps, but much less then with everything on...
Hello, if i am not a gamer, but if I want to edit mosttly 2D vids and occasionnaly 3D video from GoPro Max, would the 40 70 be much better than 4060? Thinking of getting one but there is a nearly 1000 euros price difference!! Cheers for answer!!
Got the older model and doing some gaming in it, my RTX 3070 8gb goes to 95 degrees on mostly any games and around 65 to 80 degrees for browsing and basic excel, pretty bad thermals and not enough vram seems to be the big issue with the pro art lineup
There is a new kid on the block now. The ProArt P16 with the new AMD Ryzen AI 9 Hx 370 processor! When will we get a review of that one and comparison with the Studiobook 16?
I got a rog strix, and as all gaming/creators laptops which contains a dedicated graphics card, battery life is quite bad... Until I found G helper, a small soft which works really really better than armoury crate. You can change CPU TDP, disable graphics card when on battery, ... It really changed my used of my laptop. By the way, hello from your french community : ) (sorry for bad english x) )
Great video as always, do you have any videos where you compare laptops for creators? I have been looking at this one for a long time, and it seems really nice. But maybe theres some good alternatives. Thanks
THanks for putting together detailed reviews of this device. Not many creators noticed this laptop it seems. Just one question; do you have that screen door effect on the screen and if yes, how intrusive is it?
I want to use this for editimg nd also to watch youtibe content....what will be the battery life if i only watch youtube videos in power efficiency mode?? Plz reply
I use cad software and 3D modeling and rendering and I don't know how to use that wheel... If Asus launch a new version it will be great that has more VRAM, maybe an 18" option...
Great content! Would you have any advice for someone that purchased DDR5 5600Mhz Sodimms for this laptop but can’t get them to run at any speed but 4800mhz?
Regarding the card reader it is SD express 7.0. If you don’t put in a 7.0 card, the reader reverts to 80MB/s speed so you can’t get your v90 card’s full potential unfortunately. Still a great laptop!
Can you remove battery from laptop and run directly plugged in ? Does this laptop gives same performance then ? Can you disable battery charging at preferred charged number ?
It has an option in the MyASUS control panel to charge to 80% and also an option to charge to 100% for the next 24 hours. You can't adjust the percentage, but it is a nice feature. I don't know the answer to the first part.
I have the little brother of this the Zenbook Pro 14 OLED and it's the same pros and cons on this one. Especially the card reader is a big disappointment, because I do a lot of photography...it's just slow. If I'm on the go and I know that speed will be crucial, I take my Prograde card reader. If you do figure it out, please let us know :) This laptop has the touch only productivity dial and I tried it and that was the last time I used it. Maybe one can find a special use case were it shines and actually helps getting things done faster, but certainly not in photoshop. Keyboard shortcuts are far more superior, because it's faster that way. So I guess it's the same on the ProArt even though it's a physical button. The battery... like any Windows laptop - sucks. That is simply the reality once you start really working on these machines. I wonder if it's a general OS issue that has hindered progress in this area for years. Apple has figured it out, but then again, they make the laptop from start to finish and that might be the key. Regardless, they figured it out, so it can't be that hard. Asus claims that my laptop can last up to 10h...hmm...once you read the fineprint of how the test is conducted...gives you a chukle :) Thanks for the video!!! I'm actually writing a blog article about my laptop as well on my photo site, but waiting for the USB charger to arrive so I can test that out.
Hi, watching this review considering purchasing this model. I have also about heard issues with the screen mesh, where it makes the screen look overly pixelated for the quality it should have because it is touch enabled. Have you noticed any of this being an issue? I've had a 4k screen msi laptop, with a matte finish and I don't want to make the jump to touch OLED if it's going to be subpar.
I have the h700zm versionand upgraded RAM to 64gb and 4tb ssd. How do i make sure its running to its fastest potential. Im a content creator for youtube videos, wedding videos and photo editing. Thanks in advance for any help that i can make sure speed for ram is fastes and cpu. I have the nvidia 3060 6gb 12th hen i7-12700H.
I can't seem to get accurate colours. The oled display makes it difficult to get a colour calibrator that works. The Windows Hello also feels very slow. I switched back to entering a password manually because I found it faster. The battery does not last long at all. This laptop lives plugged in. The wheel is also not as useful as I thought it would be, but I might get used to it in time. Other than that it's fast and works well. I love that I can use my iPad as a second display with GlideX. If anyone manages to calibrate their's please let me know how.
Great review thank you. Based on your opinion, what other laptops would you recommend to match/ compete with this in performance and portability/ battery life?
I am about to invest in a laptop, either the pro art or the ASUS Laptop Zenbook Pro 16 UX7602BZ Your advice is a great help. Love your channel. I was almost set to go ProArt but the wheel seems nothing short of a dust trap waiting to get broken , 4070 is not great for this laptop. The downside of the Pro16 is pretty much un upgradable but at least I get a 4080. The point about the proart battery heat on charge should be a serious concern
I followed your instructions on upgrading to 64 gigs of RAM and storage to the letter. It was smooth sailing. I appreciate it a lot. But I have to say, “my” experience, as far as performance, has been the opposite - even with the upgrades. 1. I don’t know if it’s a codec specific thing but my 10 bit 4K footage from my Sony camera literally makes the footage look like stop motion animation in Premiere. It’s unusable. I have to convert the footage to 4k 8 bit. 2. When I do use 8 bit 4k I can play it in the timeline with no color grade. But if I stack a few images on top of one another and add just two adjustment layers for color I either have to view the playback in 1/4 or 1/2 speed. That is insane. If not that I have to render the footage immediately to get smooth playback. 3. All my projects were on HDD external hard drives so I anticipated sluggish transfer speed to my premiere projects. But I have moved all the footage from the external hard drives on to the new ssd. Creating files or moving content freezes the action to where I get that (non responsive) message and then it sputters into action or creating a file. I have seen your screen and praise but this thing is not anywhere near the buttery-smooth performance I see you experiencing and I have no clue as to why.
@@theTechNotice yes. All windows updates and gpu drivers current. Had no issues with BIOS either. There is no fluidity at all even in simple processes like creating new folders. Like I said, I’ll get the “not responding” message or there are very noticeable pauses from one action to the next. And thanks to your RAM update instructions I can see that I may be using only 40% of it’s capacity while running a project and it’s dropping frames at n extremely high rate or extremely choppy with minimal corrections. And I have also noticed that if I export a 5 or 7 minute movie it almost takes that same amount of time for it to create the file. Yes, I do two scans on export but on my former Predator laptop I was getting half those times or less.
I have the Ada version. Not sure you mention it, but for me a downside is the fan noise. Macbook Pros have made me used to almost silent operation, so as oon as this StudioBook is in Performance mode the fan noise gets annoying. On the positive, I like the buil-in calibration software to refine the color accuracy. I use it every month or so, and I keep getting very low delta Es, which is great.
@@theTechNotice do you get fan noise when just browsing the web or youtube playback? Have you tried Undervolting the CPU? It makes a big difference. I think i have to upgrade from a zenbook pro 14 oled, the CPU is a bottleneck
I have this laptop. It's built like a tank. It feels substantial. It feels professional. This'll probably last me years and the next one I'll buy is probably another one from the ProArt line.
I have an ASUS ProArt Studiobook 16 oled with 4060 rtx, and I compared it to the cheap Asus Go 15 oled Lumina, interestingly, the cheaper Asus Go 15 has a beautiful image, better than the ASUS ProArt Studiobook 16 oled.
I have the 4070 version,when the screen sleeps but the youtube music is on like 40 min,after I wake up the screen all the fans kicks and I see on hwi the cpu reach to 98 c.!!
zephyrus g16 is lighter than this proart... but zephyrus g16 have many problem with the software... but if mobility is important then pick the zephyrus one because this proart literally almost 2x more heavy
Great content!!! It would be wonderful if you compare this notebook with the new one of 2024. Asus made a lot of improvements but they changed the processor for AMD that really not a fan and also they reduced 50% of the screen's refresh rate, from 120Hz to 60Hz. I think it was a terrible decision. I'm very interested on this machine but I don't know which should I pick. Thanks.
That was a great review ! Thank you :) I don't do 3D modeling but i'm a graphic and motion designer more specialized in 2d illustration and motion (mainly working in Illustrator and After effects). I'm planning to buy a new laptop the next month and i was looking for the best laptop to purchase. I used to buy ROG laptop because i'm a gamer as well and i plan to purchase a laptop for my job AND my freetime. I don't want to go for gaming laptop anymore but do you think this laptop will keep up with the gaming industry throught the years though, regarding the fact that you can't upgrade the gpu highter than 4070 ( I'm basicaly looking for a laptop being a powerfull creator AND gaming laptop ^^ ) Thank you !
I actually really like that there's a numpad, I do alot of spreadsheets and numbers and it's so helpful, I'd say I'm 2x faster with a numpad than without :)
@@theTechNotice You are faster with the numpad because you are used to it. If you orient your fingers properly on the keyboard, the digits on top are equally fast. It just takes some adaptation. I went through that journey about 10 years ago. Now I am actually faster without the numpad, because I don't have to move my right hand before starting to punch in the digits.
