Asus ProArt P16 laptop review - AMD Zen 5 meets RTX 4070 laptop and 4K OLED
In addition to the 13.3-inch, 2-in1, ProArt PX13 (reviewed extensively here), Asus is also launching a bigger 16-inch laptop for content creators in the form of the ProArt 16. It combines a modern AMD Zen 5 processor with dedicated Nvidia GPUs as well as a high-resolution 4K OLED touchscreen. However, unlike the small PX13, the new P16 faces several competing devices which come with similar specs. Does the new ProArt P16 offer a sufficient number of features to stand out from the other powerful multimedia laptops?
Our review device is the high-end variant with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, 64 GB of RAM, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 laptop, a 1 TB SSD (2 TB SSD retail variant) and a 4K OLED for an RRP of $2,699. The upgrade from 32 GB of RAM (RRP: $2,299) to 64 GB of RAM sits at a massive $400. The entry-level price for the version with the Ryzen AI 9 365, 24 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD and the GeForce RTX 4050 laptop sits at $1,899.

Case - An aluminum unibody just like the ROG Zephyrus G16
The black aluminum unibody case has a lot in common with the ROG Zephyrus G16, however, the ProArt does without the case's LED lighting. As soon as you open the screen lid you notice there are not many changes regarding the keyboard layout (the additional special keys are missing and the power button has a different shape) but, apart from that, we are dealing almost exclusively with similarities including the speaker covers and their 4,110 holes. The ProArt P16 only comes in the color variant Nano Black which is prone to quickly attracting fingerprints.
Quality-wise, the P16 is also not that different to the Zephyrus G16, for both positive and negative reasons. Positive aspects are both the excellent stability and build quality but the slightly loose hinges and resulting noticeable lid wobble continue to be negative features.
In terms of the footprint, the ProArt P16 sits in the middle of the pack. A comparison with the Zenbook Pro 16X is also interesting since this device is only a touch thicker but, at 2.4 kg, it is considerably heavier than the new P16 and its 1.8 kg. This also makes the new P16 the lightest device in our comparison table - and by quite a distance (along with the identically constructed Zephyrus G16). The 200-watt PSU brings another 588 grams to the scales.
Features - USB 4 and Wi-Fi 7
The port location is also the same as the ROG Zephyrus but the AMD processor-powered ProArt P16 does without Thunderbolt 4 support for its USB 4.0 ports. However, all of the important connectors are on board meaning there shouldn't be any problems when it comes to everyday use.
SD card reader
The SD card reader on the right-hand side doesn't fully accommodate memory cards but, compared to the Zephyrus, the speed is better. Paired with our reference card (Angelbird AV Pro V60), transfer speeds are now significantly higher at up to 254 MB/s and also 127 MB/s when copying data.

Communication
Asus has equipped the ProArt P16 with a modern MediaTek (MT7925) Wi-Fi 7 module which also supports Bluetooth 5.4. Together with our Asus reference router, we recorded very high transfer speeds which are among the best you'll find in current laptops. During our tests, we also didn't encounter problems of any kind with the wireless network connection.

Webcam
The 1080p webcam supports the current Windows Studio Effects but the image quality is not particularly good. Additionally, an IR module has been fitted which allows for face recognition via Windows Hello.
Maintenance
Access to the components is aggravated by two hidden screws which are located under glued rubber covers. As seen with the weaker Zephyrus G16 models (up to the RTX 4070 laptop), the device has a conventional cooling system with a third small additional fan. The RAM is soldered but there are two M.2 2280 SSD slots as well as a Wi-Fi module, both of which are swappable. The battery is screwed and is also replaceable if required.
Input devices - 1.7 mm key travel & DialPad
Apart from the absence of additional function keys, the keyboard doesn't differ from the Zephyrus G16 and thanks to 1.7 mm key travel, you get one of the most comfortable keyboards in the laptop segment. The RGB lighting is also missing but the white lighting can still be adjusted automatically via a sensor. The layout isn't perfect since the single-line enter key and the small arrow keys are not ideal.
At 15 x 9.8 cm, the clickpad is very large and navigating the cursor works beautifully. In addition, the mechanical clicks are pleasantly muted and lend the device a premium feel. The DialPad is integrated into the top left of the touchpad and this also works very well. How useful it is, largely depends on how skilled you are at using the dial. Due to the large pad, the DialPad didn't annoy us nearly as much as the smaller ProArt PX13, in real-life situations.
Of course, the ProArt also has a capacitive touchscreen for inputs and this too worked without a hitch. The supplied Asus Pen 2.0 worked without any problems but there is no place to attach the stylus to the case.
Display - 4K OLED at 60 Hz
Asus has equipped the ProArt P16 with an OLED touchscreen with a 3,840 x 2,400-pixel resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio. Along with the XPS 16, this is the highest resolution in the comparison field and all content appears very sharp. However, bright areas appear a touch grainy (you have the impression the screen is damp) but the problem is significantly less pronounced than, for example, the Dell XPS 16. The big problem is the frequency which only sits at 60 Hz. This is noticeable in motion and, despite the slightly higher resolution, this is a backward step compared to the old Zenbook Pro 16X which came with a 120 Hz OLED (3,200 x 2,000 pixels).
In SDR mode, the panel has an average brightness of 360 cd/m² and, together with the low black level, this results in a wonderful contrast ratio. In HDR mode (this still has to be activated manually in Windows and the color profiles no longer work), we measured a maximum of 605 cd/m² in a small area of the screen and only 420 cd/m² with an almost entirely white image - quite a low figure.

* ... smaller is better
We analyzed the panel using the professional CalMAN software (X-Rite i1 Pro 2) and, as normal, Asus provides various color profiles. The preinstalled mode offers a good picture for everyday tasks but the colors are a touch overly saturated. Things are significantly more accurate in the display P3 mode with both the gray scales and color deviations all sitting below the important mark of 3. Likewise, the sRGB mode delivers accurate results and, thanks to complete sRGB and P3 color space coverage, the ProArt P16 is perfectly suited to edit images and videos. With our own calibration, we were able to improve the gray scale reproduction but the color deviations increased and this is why we aren't providing a downloadable profile.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 240 Hz Amplitude: 36 % | ≤ 52 % brightness setting |  |
| ≤ 93 cd/m² brightness | |||
The display backlight flickers at 240 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 52 % (93 cd/m²) and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 240 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below. Flickering occurs at relatively low brightness settings, so extended use at this brightness setting or lower can cause eyestrain. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8255 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||
DC dimming at a frequency of 60 Hz comes into effect at a brightness of up to 53 % below which there is flickering at 240 Hz. In order to avoid getting into this damaging zone, Asus offers so-called flicker-free OLED dimming in the MyAsus app.
Outdoors, in particular, reflections are a problem on the very glossy touchscreen. For this reason, we would suggest finding a suitable place in the shade. The viewing angle stability is very good.
Performance - Zen 5 with a GeForce GPU and 64 GB of RAM
Asus offers the new ProArt P16 with both of the new Ryzen AI 300 mobile processors which are each combined with soldered LPDDR5x 7500 RAM (24, 32 or 64 GB). Additionally, we have the current Nvidia's Ada Lovelace GPUs (RTX 4050/4060/4070 laptop).
Test conditions
As usual, Asus offers three different energy profiles: Whisper, Standard and Performance. In the following table, we have compiled a summary of their respective TDP/TGP and performance values. As standard, we carried out the following benchmarks and measurements using the Performance mode which is only available when connected to the mains.
| Energy profile | TDP | CB R23 Multi | TGP | Time Spy Graphics | CP 2077 QHD/Ultra | Stress test | maximum fan speed |

Processor - Ryzen AI 9 HX 370
The new AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 offers 12 Zen 5 cores (24 threads) which can achieve a maximum speed of 5.1 GHz. For further technical analysis, see our CPU analysis. The ProArt P16's processor is allowed to consume a consistent 80 watts which is then reflected in very high and particularly stable performance. Only competitors with the Core i9 14900HX and the Apple M3 Max offer even more performance with the Meteor Lake chips and the Zenbook Pro 16X with its Core i9 13905H being left behind. In battery mode, the processor is allowed to draw a maximum of 70/65 watts and this only leads to a small performance drop (-7 %). Additional CPU benchmarks can be found here.

System performance
In both everyday situations and synthetic benchmarks, the ProArt P16 is a very fast and responsive system, offering sufficient reserves for demanding tasks. Unlike the small PX13, 64 GB of RAM is optionally available. During the tests, we were unable to launch LatencyMon and in F1 24, there we reproducible blue screens. However, we assume this is a driver problem and are already in contact with AMD.

DPC latencies
As we already mentioned, we were unable to launch LatencyMon with our review device. However, there were at least no problems with 4K video playback (YouTube) in terms of dropped frames.
Mass storage
Our review device is equipped with a 1 TB Micron 2400 variant, however, 879 GB are available to the user after the first installation. The primary M.2 2280 SSD is connected via a fast PCIe 4.0 x4 interface but, compared to the competition, the SSD performance is not particularly good. Nevertheless, the performance remains stable over longer periods of load. The ProArt P16 also offers a second M.2 2280 slot meaning the storage can be easily upgraded. However, the second slot is only connected via Pcie 4.0 x2 which is limited to a maximum speed of 4 GB/s. Additional SSD benchmarks can be found here.

Graphics card - GeForce RTX 4070 laptop
Our top model of the ProArt P16 is equipped with a dedicated GeForce RTX 4070 laptop. The maximum power consumption sits at 105 watts (85 watts TGP + 20 watts Dynamic Boost) and the graphics switching is done by the standard Optimus technology. With less demanding tasks, graphics computations are taken care of by the integrated Radeon 890M.
In the GPU benchmarks, the performance is on the same level as the other RTX 4070 competitors but the RTX 4080 laptop found in the Zenbook Pro 16X (max. 140 watts) is understandably (and noticeably) quicker. Apple's M3 Max GPU is also considerably faster and has the advantage of having access to all of the RAM while the RTX 4070 laptop's 8 GB of VRAM can quickly become the bottleneck, especially when editing videos.
Under continuous load, the GPU remains totally stable. In battery mode, the RTX 4070 is allowed to draw a maximum of 42 watts which is why the GPU performance is significantly lower in this case (-35 %). Additional graphics benchmarks can be found here.

Gaming performance
All in all, the ProArt P16's gaming performance is very good and the results are on a level you would expect from a RTX 4070 laptop. Even current games run effortlessly in QHD resolution. By contrast, for native 4K resolution, you have to resort to upsampling such as Nvidia's DLSS technology for demanding titles. In our Cyberpunk loop, we encountered an interesting and reproducible problem. Although the graphics performance and the overall performance in the stress test (see temperature section) remained completely stable, in the first 42 minutes, the gaming performance in Cyberpunk continually dropped somewhat. This can be clearly seen when evaluating the CPU/GPU data, however, after 42 minutes, the performance returned to its starting level and also remained stable at this level. We are currently unable to explain this behavior and, in our tests, this only occurred with Cyberpunk.

Noise emissions
The cooling system consists of three fans and, although we had problems controlling the third fan in our tests with the ROG Zephyrus G16, these have since been resolved. In the performance mode, there is an almost ever-present quiet noise, however, in the other two modes, the fans are often inactive both when running idle or performing demanding tasks. Under load, the three profiles differ noticeably although both Standard and Performance get fairly loud.

Temperature
In its fastest configuration, the ProArt P16 is essentially a relatively warm laptop and, in idle use, we measured almost 30 °C in most places. But, that isn't a problem and there is no need to fear any limitations in everyday situations. Under load, there is a hotspot in the middle rear area on both the top and bottom of the base unit. In this scenario, you should avoid placing the device on your lap but normal keyboard use won't present any problems.
In the stress test with combined CPU/GPU load, the processor operates at 60 watts for the first minute and the GPU sits at 75 watts. After roughly 4 minutes, the processor then settles to 37 watts and the graphics card stabilizes to 85 watts. Overall, a good result and on the same level as the Zenbook Pro 16X (45/80 watts).
(-) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 46.9 °C / 116 F, compared to the average of 36.9 °C / 98 F, ranging from 21.1 to 71 °C for the class Multimedia.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 50.9 °C / 124 F, compared to the average of 39.2 °C / 103 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 27.5 °C / 82 F, compared to the device average of 31.3 °C / 88 F.
(±) 3: The average temperature for the upper side is 37 °C / 99 F, compared to the average of 31.3 °C / 88 F for the class Multimedia.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are reaching skin temperature as a maximum (34 °C / 93.2 F) and are therefore not hot.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.7 °C / 83.7 F (-5.3 °C / -9.5 F).

Speakers
The sound system consists of 6 modules (4x woofers, 2 watts each + 2x tweeters, 2 watts each). The system was already wonderful in the ROG Zephyrus G16 and nothing much has changed since then. According to our measurements, only the maximum volume is slightly lower. In this regard, the ProArt P16 is one of the best laptops on the market.

Energy management - More stamina than the ROG Zephyrus G16
Power consumption
Despite its OLED panel, the ProArt P16 is quite efficient. Running idle and at maximum SDR brightness, we only recorded a maximum of 11.6 watts, despite the relatively bright wallpaper. When gaming, this then around 160 watts and in the stress test, for a brief time, 212.6 watts. However, after a few minutes, this quickly drops and settles to 160 watts. This means the supplied 200-watt PSU is suitably sized.

Battery life
In our Wi-Fi tests, the 90 Wh battery was responsible for average runtimes which were slightly better than the similarly-built Zephyrus G16. In the Wi-Fi test at 150 cd/m² (representing 70 % of the maximum SDR brightness), we recorded 8 hours and 18 minutes and, at full brightness, around 2 hours less (6 hours and 23 minutes). By contrast, in the video test, we were extremely surprised because, at 150 cd/m², the runtime was an enormous 21 hours which is tremendous performance given the laptop's large 16-inch panel. At full brightness, an HDR video can run for 5 hours.
With the device switched on, a full charging cycle takes just 108 minutes and 80 % of the capacity is available after 48 minutes.

Verdict - The ProArt P16 is a compact powerhouse with compromises
The new Asus ProArt P16 is based on the familiar gaming/multimedia laptop, the ROG Zephyrus G16 and also offers tons of performance thanks to the new AMD Zen 5 mobile processors - and all in a compact and particularly lightweight package, tipping the scales at 1.8 kg. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 delivers significantly more CPU performance than the Meteor Lake processor found in the Zephyrus G16, but, as a laptop for creative users, the P16 is more of a replacement for the Zenbook Pro 16X whose Core i9 13905H isn't that much slower but has an RTX 4080 laptop that is simply much faster than the RTX 4070 laptop in the ProArt. This means that when it comes to GPU performance, you have to accept a backwards step if you opt for the lighter of the two laptops.
In terms of the display, it's also arguable whether the new 60 Hz, 4K OLED touchscreen is an improvement compared to the Zenbook Pro 16X's 120 Hz, 3.2K OLED panel. The higher resolution is an advantage and the color accuracy is also very good but a frequency of just 60 Hz can no longer be considered up-to-date when dealing with such an expensive device in 2024.
With the ProArt P16, Asus is offering a comparably light and compact powerhouse for creative users who require a touchscreen and are prepared to do without a higher frequency. In particular, the 64 GB top version is extremely expensive.
However, if you can live with the performance compromise, you still get a comparatively light and performant 16-inch laptop with sufficient ports, a premium case, very good input devices as well as an excellent sound system. Nevertheless, you also get this with the ROG Zephyrus G16 and this is where you'll have to decide whether you prefer a touchscreen instead of a higher-frequency OLED. Two M.2 2280 SSDs can be installed in the ProArt but the RAM is soldered. There is a 64 GB option but the jump in price from 32 GB is an enormous $400. The ProArt P16 has a relatively small target group and if this is the combination you're after, you can't really go wrong here.
