I think the laptop is very well-balanced as is. With a 4070 and OLED close to 4k it is a very capable laptop. The i9-13980hx is still a top shelf laptop CPU. A laptop with a 4090 has many cons like packaging, mobility, weight, lack of battery life, and massive heat dissipation engineers have to deal with. Build quality and packaging with this model is very good. I got mine recently and have been very happy with the quality and output of this machine. First upgrade I did was adding memory to 64gb and another 2TB SSD. I would take this over a macbook pro anyday and I own both. It's just that good and well worth the price.
This is absurd! The >$1500 difference is enough for flight ticket to and fro USA from Germany. The tax paid on procuring computers to Germany is very high. To solve this problem, we should build our own computer production plants in Germany or Neighbouring EU countries.
In México the configuration of the ProArt with 64gb Ram and 4tb ssd is $80k pesos. That's $4700 usd with the current rate of 17 pesos per usd. It sucks:(
Usually, the difference in Denmark is 1:10, compared to US prices, but the currency exchange is just 1:7. We pay big "dollars" in Europe, so that the Americans can get it cheaper. And its not only for products made in the US. We also pay big money for Taiwanese products, compared to the US.
I would have been been happy with more VRAM already, or at least pushing out a bit more watts when plugged in. Oh well, with sich a such a small form factor the resuls are already impressive. And luckily I don't need to upgrade yet. Maybe next year we'll get an updated Proart model and I might become a new happy buyer! I've got to say, the integrated shortcut wheel is a fantastic addition though. I'm really impressed with Asus lately!
I knew that the proart is gonna win in the scrub and playback however it's really hard to have a good execution of a laptop for all kinds of creators but i still stand on the fact that they could just bump the wattage to 280-300W and give us a full powerhouse of creator laptop it would've taken any other laptop with a 4090/A5000 ada
I get your point but think of it like this, If you already control the gamer premium side of things aka ROG and you can also get a grip on making the best brand for creative professionals and that will be PROART you literally control most of the market. The only laptop that is the best high spec laptop it's the Zbook series from HP and that costs a fortune@@notionarray
The ProArt laptop also has a $2999 configuration with the RTX A3000, but the same amount of V-RAM. I'd like to know if it justifies the upgrade from the RTX 4070 config.
In EU they charge 3 to 4k for it. Absolutely bonkers, but sadly still one of the best. However, there is no price difference between A3000 and 4070, so I got A3000
@@voice2skull. probably depends on your use case. I only have one laptop to test, so I can’t tell for sure, but it certainly is fast. Haven’t run any benchmarks tho. I’m happy with the performance
As a photographer, I do wish I could manually adjust screen colours on my ProArt Studiobook to match my print lab. I'm shocked that I've had this for almost a month and still haven't been able to find a way to adjust individual parameters like gamma, contrast, hue, saturation, etc. A great laptop but disappointing that this is so difficult to find. I'm still waiting for Asus support to provide me with an answer. Am I missing something super obvious?
The only clean looking laptop alternatives are the razer blade 2023 versions. Come with a 4090 and have arguably better cooling with vapour chamber, even the if you are going to be editing raw video alot without proxies then even an i9 desktop won't cut it, for that you need a threadripper workstation. For laptops as far as the gpu the mobile varients are not the same as the the versions obviously, they may share the same name but the mobile 4090 is actually more similar to a 4080 architecture so if you really want editing power then it's the 4090 and the expense that goes with it.
I think they (ASUS) market thier true flagship book for creator in the zenbook line up, check out zenbook x16 pro, less powerful i9 but with rtx 4080, less RAM but faster,try to do the comparison between Proart, should be interesting.
when is ASUS gonna make a Z790 proartcreator desktop with NVMe M.2 Gen 5 support for storage ,not just graphics? And is the proArtZ790 even still a product we cans safely purchase?
Hi, Just stumbled accros your video and it is AMAZING informations for me as I'm looking at the possibility of getting a laptop to work on video editing and color grading in the go. One question I have : is it possible to run this laptop without the battery (and is it easy enough to disconnect) for the few times I have to let it run plugged for 12 days straight :p ?
Hi. Could you help please. I have the studiobook proart 16 H7600 i7 1tb ssd which is the boot drive and I have put in a 4tb ssd in the second slot. The 1tb ssd is the boot drive and has everything downloaded and is my on i have 100gb left on it. I am a content creator and have transferred over 3.5tb to the 4tb ssd. I bought a seawater 8TB One Touch Desktop Hub. All my photos and video files are backed up to one drive as well. Can I replace the 1tb with a bigger one, then format and install from fresh? Or what would you suggest to do. If I transfer the 3.5tb to the seawater 8tb, could I make the system use both together so would be 5gb, not 2 separate ssd's. I also have 2tb G-drive. Thanks in advance
And as usual, nobody is interested in answering the musicians. With all these creative-work-intended machines, the focus seems to be on the GPU these days , probably because musicians use their audio signal processors as external units already. I think the CPU power and the related cooling noise issues, as well as RAM speed and amount would give quite an idea about a computer's possible performance as a DAW. Also, you have to check if the CPU type is compatible with your favourite music prod software, in case it's AMD or newer tech CPU's like Apple's M's.
@@kevlally I buy exclusively Asus when I can, phones, routers and motherboards and everything works fine for me. Don't get me wrong everything they make isn't perfect but if they're really that bad find me a better PC brand lol
@@kevlally thans. I used the Pro Art OLED but with the RTX 4060 for a few days from microcenter. it built as a tank, but in my case the 4060 was too weak to justify the weight and price. I also did not like the amount of fan noise in a Pro laptop. In "standard" mode it is realtively quiet, but for anything serious, you cannot really have it in a quiet office or place where others are also working.
It is missing amd. I have the 2021 model which you can get now at an increcible price. It is very satisfactory unless you are absolutely obsessed with most speed and power you can get. the cooling is good and the battey life is very nice based on thei power and the oled display. Most people just do not need to spend that much money
