Asus ProArt PX13 review - The world's fastest 13.3-inch 2-in-1 thanks to AMD Zen 5 and RTX 4070 laptop

The new Asus ProArt PX13 is a compact 13.3-inch 2-in-1 that is primarily aimed at creative users who seek the most compact and powerful device possible. Appropriately, AMD's brand new Zen 5 mobile processors combined with Nvidia's dedicated GeForce GPUs are on board. The display is provided by a 2,880 x 1,800-pixel, high-resolution OLED panel which is, however, only 60 Hz.
Our review device is the high-end variant which costs around $2,999 and comes with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and the GeForce RTX 4070 laptop with a 75-watt TGP. In addition, there is a 2 TB SSD as well as 32 GB of RAM (Note: the review sample was only equipped with a 1 TB SSD). With the RTX 4050 laptop, the entry-level price sits at $1,999 (24 GB of RAM, 1 TB SSD) and the variant with the RTX 4060 laptop (32 GB of RAM, 1 TB SSD) costs $2,399.
When taking a glance at potential competitors, it quickly becomes clear that when it comes to compact devices with dedicated GPUs, the market is currently dominated by Asus. We will also include multimedia devices such as the ROG Zephyrus G14, the Razer Blade 14 and Microsoft's Surface Laptop Studio 2 in the comparison, even though these devices are larger.

Case - Extremely stable unibody
The aluminium unibody case design reminds us very much of the current Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, however, the PX13 is slightly more playful. There might not be an LED strip on the lid but there is a groove pattern in many areas, for example, at the hinges or also the edges of the screen. In addition, the 2-in-1 has small rubber feet on the base unit (circular at the front edges, strips in front of the hinges) which means you can place the device on the keyboard without it sliding away. All in all, the design is very sleek meaning you can also easily use the PX13 in professional environments. The smooth black surfaces are not particularly prone to smudges and fingerprints. An additional difference to the G14 is the fan grille since the entire rear, as well as the rear area of both sides of the device, serve to dissipate the heat.
The base unit is wonderfully stable with no give being present even when a lot of pressure is applied. On top of that, we were unable to provoke any creaking noises. Things look different when twisting the significantly thinner lid. However, in everyday situations, this shouldn't present any problems. Image flaws are absent anyway due to the type of OLED panel used. Although the hinges are generally firm, you can still open the lid with one hand but a slight wobble cannot be avoided. The lid can be folded completely open which means there are various ways you can use the device. At almost 1.4 kg, the ProArt is very heavy to hold if used purely as a tablet. Unfortunately, it's not possible to store the supplied Asus Pen 2.0 anywhere on the case.
At 17.7 mm, the new ProArt PX13 is both the most compact and thinnest device in the comparison field. Weighing less than 1.4 kg, the 2-in-1 can be easily stowed away in any bag. The 200-watt PSU tips the scales at 588 grams.
Features - USB 4.0 & Wi-Fi 7
Since the entire rear and the rear area of the sides are used for cooling, the ports are located in the middle of both sides. The port selection itself is very solid because, in addition to 2x USB-C 4.0, a regular and a fast USB-A are available. HDMI and a microSD card reader also come along for the ride. The device can be charged on both sides.
SD card reader
Paired with our reference card (Angelibird AV Pro V60), the microSD card reader achieved very good maximum transfer speeds of 255 MB/s, when copying data this figure falls significantly to 55 MB/s.

Communication
The ProArt PX13 is equipped with a MediaTek MT9725 Wi-Fi module which supports both Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 7. Together with our Asus reference router, the Wi-Fi performance was wonderful and belongs to the best we have recorded to date. All of the video outputs run via the dGPU when using an external monitor. However, it is also possible to completely deactivate the dGPU via the ProArt software.

Webcam
When it comes to image quality, the 2 MP webcam isn't a highlight. Windows-Studio Effects is, of course, supported and an IR module for face recognition via Window Hello is also available.

Maintenance
The base cover is secured by Torx screws (T5), however, the middle screw is hidden under a glued rubber cover. We're not sure why this is the case since it only results in greater effort being required to remove the base plate. Inside the device, the fans, screwed battery, Wi-Fi module and compact M.2 2230 SSD are all easily accessible. However, the RAM is soldered.
Sustainability
On the ProArt PX13's product page, no details are available regarding any manufacturing-based C02 emissions or the percentage of recycled material used. The packaging is mostly cardboard but plastic has also been utilized. Asus itself has not made any repair guides available. In its class of comparison devices, the power consumption is comparatively low and there are also no anomalies in terms of the standby consumption or when the device is switched off.
Input devices - An excellent keyboard with 1.7 mm key travel
Asus has fitted the ProArt PX13 with a keyboard that has 1.7 mm key travel - a lot for today's standards. Together with the stable base unit, typing is a wonderful experience and puts most current business laptops in the shade. For dark environments, there is also three-level, white backlighting which can also be controlled automatically. Layout-wise, the small arrow keys are not ideal and it would also have been good to use the space better for dedicated up and down keys. As a Copilot+ laptop, the new Copilot button is, of course, also included but it has the same function as the taskbar symbol.
The large clickpad (12.7 x 8 cm) also works beautifully and not only managed to impress us with its smooth feel but also with its muffled, high-quality clicking noises. On the top left, the so-called DialPad is integrated into the touchpad. For several years, we have seen Asus use various versions of this. Of course, whether the dial can be used effectively, depends primarily on the user's individual work flow. During normal use, we were slightly confused by its elevation but pointer movements are generally well-implemented. Inputs can also be undertaken via the capacitive touchscreen and using the supplied Asus Pen 2.0 went without a hitch.
Display - Only a 60 Hz OLED touchscreen
Now we come to what is probably the biggest point of contention with the new ProArt PX13, the display. Asus has equipped the device with a 13.3-inch, Samsung OLED touchscreen with a high resolution of 2,880 x 1,800 pixels. The DPI figure also becomes apparent in a direct comparison with larger panels (for example. the Zenbook S 16's OLED) because all content appears a touch sharper. The colors are vibrant, the black level is good and the response times are very fast. But, the subjective image quality doesn't quite meet 2024-level expectations when it comes to OLED displays. Firstly, bright areas appear a little grainy and you get the impression the screen is somewhat damp. However, the effect is not as pronounced as the one seen, for example, in the current Dell XPS models which have OLED panels. Additionally, in the case of reflections, there is a visible structure which presumably originates from the touch layer. Despite this, the biggest problem is the 60 Hz frequency which is the reason motion doesn't appear as smooth as 90 or 120 Hz models. Both the brightness and color temperature can be adjusted automatically.
In SDR mode, the brightness sits at an average of almost 360 cd/m² which is slightly below the current OLED generation (400 cd/m² or higher). Nevertheless, together with the low black level, this still results in a wonderful contrast ratio. In HDR mode, (which still has to be activated manually in Windows) we're dealing with a maximum of 577 cd/m² in a small section of the display and 503 cd/m² when the displayed image is almost completely white.

We measured the panel using the professional CalMAN software (X-Rite i1 Pro2). The standard native profile oversaturates/skews the colors somewhat. For the most color-accurate reproduction possible, you can simply select the P3 profile which should result in all of the deviations (gray scales and colors) hitting their target values. In addition, an accurate sRGB profile is also available which means you can immediately go about editing images. Using our own calibration, we were unable to further improve the image quality which is why we aren't offering a downloadable profile.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
Screen flickering / PWM detected | 240 Hz Amplitude: 50 % | ≤ 53 % brightness setting | |
The display backlight flickers at 240 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 53 % 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. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8437 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. |
In a brightness range of 100-54 %, Asus uses DC dimming at a frequency of 60 Hz. From a brightness of 53 % and lower, we then have the classic PWM at a frequency of 240 Hz. As is the case with all other Asus OLED panels, so-called flicker-free OLED dimming is available via the MyAsus software. With DC dimming, the amplitude is longer and more limited (cut off at the top). Below this, you can see the entire oscillation curve. With software-based dimming (select high brightness and use the software dimming), you can avoid getting into this range.
Performance - Zen 5 meets Ada Lovelace
Every configuration of the ProArt PX13 is equipped with the new AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. The base model gets 24 GB of RAM (LPDDR5x 7500) and the GeForce RTX 4050 laptop, versions with the RTX 4060 laptop or 4070 laptop get 32 GB of RAM. The RAM isn't expandable.
Test conditions
Asus offers various performance profiles which can be selected via the MyAsus software or the ProArt creator hub software. In the following table, we have listed the different profiles together with their related performance values.
Energy mode | CPU TDP | CBR 23 Multi | GPU TGP | Time Spy graphics | stress test TDP/TGP | CP 2077 1080p Ultra | maximum fan volume |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Whisper | 80/50 watts | 20,010 points | 58 watts | 8,856 points | CPU: 20 watts GPU: 33 watts |
62.7fps | 40.1 dB(A) |
Standard | 80/55 watts | 20,247 points | 65 watts | 9,680 points | CPU: 20 watts GPU: 55 watts |

74.1fps | 53.3 dB(A) |
As standard, we carried out all of our benchmarks and measurements using the Performance mode which, however, is only available via mains operation. In battery mode, the system automatically switches to Standard mode. Additionally, there is also a manual mode with which the CPU and GPU can be adjusted in a variety of manners.
Processor - Ryzen AI 9 HX 370
The new Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is one of three new Zen5 mobile processors in the 15-54-watt TDP class meaning the new Ryzen AI 300 chips are the successors to the previous U/HS processors, depending on the TDP configuration. The new HX 370 offers 12 Zen5 cores with a maximum clock speed of 5.1 GHz. In other words, four cores more than the old mobile processors. Additional technical details can be found in our extensive analysis article.
In the ProArt PX13, the processor is briefly allowed to consume up to 80 watts and then settles to 65 watts. In all of our CPU benchmarks, the performance figures are excellent and, on average, the new processor sits 14 % ahead of the old Ryzen 9 8945HS found in the Razer Blade 14 - although, at 90/75 watts, the processor is allowed to consume even more power. Under sustained load, the drop in performance remains low but the results fluctuate slightly. However, that is a result of the relatively short Cinebench R15 test because, depending on the run, it's simply a matter of how long the processor can use its maximum 80 watts. But, even in the "worst" case, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is the fastest chip. In battery mode, the maximum power consumption is limited to 55 watts which leads to a performance drop of almost 10 % in the Cinebench R23 multi-core test (20,629 points). Nevertheless, this is still easily enough to secure the top spot. All in all, this means we are dealing with the fastest 13.3-inch computer on the market when it comes to CPU performance. Additional CPU benchmarks can be found here.

System performance
The ProArt PX13 is a very responsive system and also offers enough reserves for demanding tasks. Some users would certainly wish for a 64 GB RAM upgrade option as was the case with the larger ProArt P16. During the tests, we were unable to boot the LatencyMon application and, in F1 24, there were reproducible blue screens. However, we assume this is a driver problem and have contacted AMD.
Update 08/01: We performed additional benchmark tests in combination with our video production and compared the results with the Asus ROG Zepyhrus G14. There was no difference between the two laptops in Adobe Photoshop, but you should keep in mind that 32 GB RAM can quickly become the limiting factor when you edit high-res pictures.
We usually use Capture One Pro to edit our images, but the RAW converter did not yet work with the new Ryzen chip. A photo export in Adobe Lightroom was about the same speed (15s) on both machines.
We can see differences when we export videos in Blackmagic Resolve. Even though the application is primarily very demanding for the GPU, the PX13 only required 8:10 minutes to render our video compared to 12:41 minutes on the Zephyrus g14. We also tested the Radeon 890M, but it took noticeably longer at 23:14 minutes. All in all, the subjective performance impression was very good and everything was smooth. Premiere Pro (PugetBench) does not show a difference between the two models.

DPC latencies
As we already mentioned, we were unable to launch LatencyMon on the review device. There were, at least, no problems with dropped frames during 4K video playback (YouTube).
Mass storage
In the PX13, Asus uses a compact M.2 2230 SSD which, in principle, is not a problem but this limits the choice of possible upgrade drives with prices also being higher than common M.2 2280 SSDs. The review device is home to a Western Digital SN740 1 TB variant and, after the first installation, the user has access to 875 GB. In direct comparison to the competition, the SSD's performance is average but remains very stable throughout sustained load. Additional SSD benchmarks can be found here.

Graphics card - GeForce RTX 4070 laptop
In everyday use, computational calculations are handled by the integrated Radeon 890M. Demanding tasks are aided by the dedicated GeForce RTX 4070 laptop (8 GB VRAM) via the Optimus graphics switch. This is the 75-watt variant (65-watt TGP + 10-watt Dynamic Boost) which is good performance given the compact case. Among the 13-inch competitors, the 4070 operates at a maximum of 65 watts and, in the larger Zephyrus G14 using the performance profile, this is also 75 watts.
Overall, the benchmark results are very good and are even better than most of the competition. Only the Razer Blade 14 with its 90-watt variant of the RTX 4070 laptop is around 20 % faster. What's also pleasing is that the graphics performance remains stable under continuous load and that isn't something you can take for granted given the size of the device. In battery mode, the GPU's power consumption is throttled to 45 watts leading to a performance deficit of over 20 %. Additional GPU benchmarks can be found in our technology section.

Gaming performance
Of course, the ProArt PX13 can handle demanding games. The new Ryzen processor also cuts a good figure in this area with the PX13 getting very close to the Razer Blade 14 in most titles. All modern titles can be easily played in Full HD or even QHD resolution. However, in some titles, we were unable to select the QHD resolution but this is something that will certainly be corrected via a driver update. Under longer periods of load, the gaming performance remained completely stable. Additional gaming benchmarks can be found here.

Emissions - Loud fans but decent temperatures
Noise emissions
The cooling unit consists of many heat pipes and two fans which transport the waste heat out of the case at the sides and rear. What's not surprising is that the cooling system has its hands full given the compact case and fast components. Especially in performance mode, the fans kick in, even when undertaking everyday tasks. This is why you can, without hesitation, use the whisper mode for simple tasks since the CPU performance is still excellent here. At 53.3 dB(A) when gaming and in the stress test, it also gets very loud and this is why you should use headphones. However, it might also be worthwhile to test the performance using the whisper mode. In the following table, we have summarized a list of the various profile results. No other electronic noises were present in the review device.

Temperature
The fans might get loud but the surface temperatures remain very acceptable, even in the stress test. On one spot on the base of the device (rear middle), we measured over 47 °C but the two sides remain cooler which means you can even place the device on your lap. All in all, the upper side is considerably cooler, especially in the area above the fans. In infrared images, you can also clearly see that the WASD area stays very cool when gaming. The case also hardly heats up when performing everyday tasks.
In the stress test with combined CPU load, the processor briefly runs at 40 watts and then stabilizes at 25 watts. The graphics card initially runs at 60 watts and then at 65 watts for the rest of the stress test. All in all, these are very good figures for a 13.3-inch 2-in-1.
(-) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 45.3 °C / 114 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 47.9 °C / 118 F, compared to the average of 39.2 °C / 103 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 28.2 °C / 83 F, compared to the device average of 31.3 °C / 88 F.
(±) 3: The average temperature for the upper side is 37.1 °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 (33.2 °C / 91.8 F) and are therefore not hot.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.8 °C / 83.8 F (-4.4 °C / -8 F).

Power consumption
Our consumption measurements didn't uncover any surprises and, when running idle and consuming fewer than 10 watts at full brightness, the small 2-in-1 is pretty economical. When gaming, you can count on 120 watts and, in the stress test, we recorded a maximum of 185 watts which then stabilized after a few seconds to 137 watts and then to 124 watts, in the next 90 seconds. This means the supplied 200-watt PSU is more than suitably sized.

Battery life
Overall, runtimes with the 73 Wh battery are decent and only a few of the direct competitors offer better stamina. In the Wi-Fi test at 150 cd/m² (representing 69 % of the review device's maximum SDR brightness), we recorded 8.5 hours and almost 7 hours at full brightness. Video playback at 150 cd/m² is possible for just over 10 hours.
The battery can also be charged quickly with the 200-watt PSU. With the device switched on, a full charging cycle requires around 100 minutes with 50 % of the capacity available after 24 minutes and 80 % after 49 minutes.

Pros
Cons
Verdict - The ProArt PX13 is the world's fastest 13-inch device, albeit with a less than perfect 60 Hz OLED screen
If you are on the hunt for maximum performance in the most compact form factor, the new Asus ProArt PX13 2-in-1 is currently the fastest 13-inch device in the world. The new AMD Ryzen processor also helps and its Zen 5 cores offer a clear advantage over the old models. In terms of gaming, it also cuts a very good figure when combined with the GeForce 4070 laptop. On top of this, the performance of these two components remains fairly stable and, all in all, the cooling does a good job - even though the fans can get very loud in the performance mode. Despite this, the surface temperatures remain within acceptable limits.
The case is outstanding with an extremely stable base unit and premium build quality. There is a sufficient number of available ports and the PX13 probably offers (together with the Zephyrus G14) the best keyboard you can currently find in the mobile segment. The DialPad in the touchpad can be useful, although this will depend on the user's personal workflow with programs such as the Adobe apps. In addition, there is a very fast Wi-Fi-7 module and all of the Copilot+ AI functions such as live subtitles.
Thanks to the new AMD Zen 5 processor and the GeForce RTX 4070 laptop, the new ProArt is currently the fastest 13.3-inch device you can buy. Besides this, there is also an excellent keyboard and sufficient ports. However, we are at a loss as to why Asus opted for a 60 Hz OLED given the high price.
In principle, the OLED display's high resolution and accurate color reproduction result in very good image quality but bright areas appear slightly grainy. The 60 Hz frequency is questionable and there is a noticeable difference to 120 Hz panels. Considering the high asking price, this decision is difficult to get your head around. However, this doesn't only concern the PX13 since the larger ProArt P16 is also equipped with a 60 Hz OLED.
The biggest competition comes from Asus itself but, when it comes to other competitors, you have to take a look at the 14-inch segment to get comparable performance. For this reason, this puts the new ProArt PX13 pretty much in a league of its own.
Price and availability
The new ProArt PX13 can now be ordered directly from Asus and starts at $1,999. Our review configuration with the RTX 4070 laptop costs $2,999.
Note: We have recently updated our rating system and the results of version 8 are not comparable with the results of version 7. More information is available here.
