ASUS adds new ProArt & Zenbook series laptops powered by AMD Ryzen AI 300 CPUs
One of the leading computer hardware manufacturers, ASUS, has launched new laptops based on the latest AMD Strix Point processors. Among the newly launched notebooks are: the ProArt P16, ProArt PX13, and Zenbook S 16 models. All three notebooks utilize one of the fastest Zen 5 architecture-based CPUs, the Ryzen AI HX 370. ASUS says that the new Ryzen AI laptops feature advanced AI capability with '50 TOPS NPU AI engines'.
ASUS ProArt P16
The ProArt P16 is equipped with a 16-inch OLED display, boasting an OLED panel for incredibly high contrast and a 4K+ resolution coupled with a touchscreen feature. With a true 10-bit color depth, 500 nits of HDR peak brightness, and a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, the P16 is ready to deliver vibrant and detailed visuals.
The hardware configuration includes the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, 64GB LPDDR5X RAM, 2TB PCIe SSD, and a dedicated RTX 4070 8GB laptop GPU, ensuring faster content creation, gaming, and productivity in general. The laptop will equip users with the power of RTX AI acceleration to increase their workflow and performance in 2D/3D rendering. Moreover, ASUS is offering its exclusive StoryCube and MuseTree apps for smarter and streamlined creative workflows.
The ASUS ProArt P16 can be purchased from the ASUS Store or Best Buy, starting at $1,899.99.
ASUS ProArt PX13
The ProArt PX13 is the smaller version of the ProArt P16, offering better portability through its compact size and 2-in-1 convertibility. Bringing a similar but smaller 13.3" OLED display with a 3K resolution, the ProArt PX13 is the ideal companion for frequent travelers.
The laptop's configuration runs on the same Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor but is paired with an RTX 4060 8GB laptop GPU. The total RAM size is 32GB LPDDR5X, and the default storage is 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD. Both P16 and PX13 are accommodated with high-bandwidth connectivity ports, including USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 2x USB 4.0 Gen 3 Type-C, 1x HDMI 2.1, Micro SD 4.0 card reader and more. For wireless connectivity, the laptop is also equipped with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. The P16 features a bigger 90Wh battery while the PX13 runs on a 73Wh battery.
Due to the difference in specs and sizes, the PX13 is 1 lb lighter and can fit into smaller backpacks. ASUS ProArt PX13 has a starting price of $1,699.99 and is available at both ASUS Store and Best Buy.
ASUS Zenbook S16
The Zenbook S16 is a more affordable solution for content creators, professionals, and gamers, which runs solely on the CPU. It is available with either Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 for up to 81 TOPs or with the Ryzen AI 9 365 for up to 73 TOPs of performance. Users will get their hands on the latest and the fastest Radeon 890M integrated graphics that will power its 16" OLED screen. The configuration includes 32/24GB LPDDR5X RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, and similar connectivity as the ProArt laptops.
