Verdict - The ProArt P16 now with 120 Hz, but lower HDR brightness
The ProArt P16 is the creative offshoot of the ROG Zephyrus G16 gaming laptop, primarily aimed at content creators as a result of its touchscreen, stylus support and DialPad. Its new display has a refresh rate of 120 Hz, but its resolution is lower than before and its maximum HDR brightness in particular is very low, which we already criticized about the Zephyrus G16. Asus provides super accurate color profiles and the ProArt is suitable for editing images/videos.
Apart from its hinges being slightly too weak, the laptop's case is great and it features all the important connections. Its keyboard and sound system are among the best in the mobile sector. On the other hand, not much has changed about its performance, as its processor is the same and the new RTX 5070 Laptop isn't much faster than the old RTX 4070 Laptop. In contrast to the Zephyrus G16, you can't select any more powerful GPUs—we would at least have liked to have seen the RTX 5070 Ti Laptop. Its fans also get very loud under load.
The ProArt P16 is still a very good multimedia laptop, but the MacBook Pro 16 still proves to be the better overall package and has some clear advantages, especially when it comes to its CPU performance, fan control, display and battery life.
Pros
Cons
Price and availability
You can order the ProArt P16 from Asus' website soon. Prices will start from $2,899.99.
Asus has updated its ProArt P16 and while the multimedia laptop has kept the same AMD processor, it now features the new RTX-5000 GPUs. Moreover, its 60 Hz 4K OLED display has been swapped out for the 120 Hz 2.8K OLED panel from the ROG Zephyrus G16 gaming laptop. Our test device is the high-end variant with the RTX 5070 Laptop, 64 GB RAM and a 2 TB SSD, costing approximately $3,860.
Specifications
Case & connectivity
The laptop's black case is identical to the old model and, compared to the Zephyrus G16, it has no lighting element on its lid. This case is also black and proves to be quite the fingerprint magnet. Its overall quality is excellent, but its weak point is still its hinges, as the display's lid clearly bounces after adjusting its angle. Access to the device's components (fan, battery, WLAN module, 2x SSD) is still made difficult by two hidden screws. No changes have been made to its connectivity and all important standards (USB 4.0, Wi-Fi 7) are on board. Its card reader is super fast, but the laptop's 1080p webcam doesn't take particularly good photos. The ProArt P16 is a Copilot+ laptop.

Sustainability
Asus has provided no information on the laptop's CO2 footprint or environmental standards. In contrast to the ROG Zephyrus G16, the packaging of the ProArt is completely plastic-free.
Input devices - 1.7 mm travel and a DialPad
The device's input devices have been retained unchanged, so users still get to benefit from a very comfortable keyboard. Its 1.7 mm travel is very generous for a laptop, its keystrokes are precise and white backlighting helps with visibility in darker environments. The large ClickPad feels nice and smooth and emits muffled, high-quality mechanical clicks. Furthermore, it once again has a DialPad installed in the top left corner, which can be particularly useful for programs such as Adobe Photoshop or Premiere Pro.
Display - 2.8K OLED instead of 4K
Last year's ProArt P16 was equipped with a high-resolution 4K OLED display, but with a frequency of only 60 Hz, which we criticized during our test. For the 2025 model, Asus has now gone for a 120 Hz 2.8K OLED panel, which, aside from its frequency (Zephyrus has 240 Hz), has a lot of similarities to the one installed in the Zephyrus G16. However, as it is now a touchscreen again, the image looks a little grainy when depicting bright content. Apart from that, its subjective picture quality is very good, but as with all other OLED panels, we noted the use of PWM flickering (480 Hz). In addition, the OLED panel is very reflective.
Brightness still seems to be a problem for the laptop, as we only measured around 360 cd/m² in SDR mode, which is significantly less than some of the competition. Its HDR capabilities are even worse than the old model, as we only noted a maximum of just under 430 cd/m² (previously a maximum of ~600 cd/m²). As a result, its HDR capabilities are pretty limited. As usual, Asus offers very accurate color profiles for the P3 and sRGB color spaces and we were unable to improve the display any further with our own calibration.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 480 Hz Amplitude: 26 % | ≤ 100 % brightness setting |  |
The display backlight flickers at 480 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 100 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 480 Hz is relatively high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. However, there are reports that some users are still sensitive to PWM at 500 Hz and above, so be aware. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8350 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||

Processor - Ryzen AI 9 HX 370
The laptop still uses a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, which can consume 80 watts permanently. As a result, its performance is at the same level as its predecessor and remains stable even under constant load. Even so, the ThinkBook 16p with the Core i9-14900HX and Apple's M4 Pro CPU are significantly faster.

Storage device
The ProArt P16 features two M.2-2280 slots for SSDs, whereby one is only connected at half the speed (1x PCIe 4.0 x4, 1x PCIe 4.0 x2). A 2 TB version of the WD SN740 is installed in our test device (1.75 TB free to the user), which offers decent transfer rates that don't drop even under permanent load.

GPU performance
Our test device is equipped with the new GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop and the graphics switching is done using normal Optimus technology. This is the 105-watt version of the RTX 5070 Laptop and the laptop still has 8 GB of VRAM, which may be limiting when playing some games. In terms of its pure performance, the new model was only 6-12% ahead of the old ProArt P16 with the RTX 4070 Laptop during our test. When gaming, its lead when running our standard tested games was 16%, although there can of course be differences depending on the game.

Emissions & energy
Noise emissions
During everyday use, we recommend using Whisper mode, as the device's two fans are often deactivated when performing simple tasks. However, the fans are pretty much always active in Performance mode, and they also tend to pulse a little, which can feel a little annoying. Things also get loud quickly under load, as we measured almost 54 dB(A) both when gaming and in the stress test. There were no other electronic noises on our test device.

Temperature
The laptop's surface temperatures are slightly lower than the old model, but the ProArt P16 still gets quite warm under load. Still, with a maximum of 47 °C in the middle area of the underside, this is by no means critical and the device can still be placed on your thighs. There is a hotspot above the keyboard on the top, but the keyboard itself stays a lot cooler. During the stress test, the CPU & GPU stabilized at 35 and 88 watts respectively.
(-) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 47 °C / 117 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 47.4 °C / 117 F, compared to the average of 39.2 °C / 103 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 25.4 °C / 78 F, compared to the device average of 31.3 °C / 88 F.
(±) 3: The average temperature for the upper side is 37.7 °C / 100 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 (32.5 °C / 90.5 F) and are therefore not hot.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.8 °C / 83.8 F (-3.7 °C / -6.7 F).

Power consumption
The new ProArt P16 with its 120 Hz screen requires slightly more power in idle mode than its predecessor, and its consumption has also increased slightly under load. During the stress test, we briefly measured a maximum of 229 watts, which then leveled off at 180-190 watts. The 200 watt power supply unit supplied isn't particularly generous in size, but is sufficient.

Runtimes
Its battery capacity hasn't changed (90 Wh) and the laptop's runtime in our WLAN test was still around 6.5 hours at full brightness. On the other hand, the new model lasted almost an hour longer at 150 cd/m² (70% of our test device's maximum brightness) (09:14 hours). Overall, the ProArt P16 is still in the midfield when it comes to its battery life.
