Reviews for the Asus ProArt Studiobook 16 OLED W7604

70% Asus ProArt Studiobook 16 OLED review: a proper Windows MacBook Pro?
Source: Digital Trends
The ProArt Studiobook 16 OLED is just fast enough to compete as a creator’s workstation, and it’s a decent gaming machine for those who want their laptop to do double duty. It’s very well built and enjoys an excellent OLED display. Asus is banking on extra features like the Asus Dial and the excellent haptic touchpad to differentiate from the norm. Do your shopping first — and make sure you really don’t want a MacBook Pro, of course. It has some significant advantages over the Studiobook 16, most notably in battery life, fan noise, and speakers. But not everyone wants to switch to a Mac, of course. So, while the shortcomings of the ProArt Studiobook show how far ahead Apple is, it has enough good things going to warrant a recommendation for Windows-based creators.

NVIDIA NVIDIA RTX 3000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU: A higher-end professional graphics card for use in laptops that sports 4,608 CUDA cores and 8 GB of ECC GDDR6 VRAM. It would be fair to say that this is a GeForce RTX 4070 (Laptop) in disguise. Brought into existence in 2023, the RTX 3000 leverages TSMC's 5 nm process and Nvidia's Ada Lovelace architecture to achieve very decent performance combined with moderate power consumption. This graphics card is fast enough to run many games at 1440p with quality set to High. The Nvidia-recommended TGP range is very wide at 35 W to 140 W leading to bizarre performance differences between different systems powered by what is supposed to be the same graphics card.

These graphics cards are able to play the latest and most demanding games in high resolutions and full detail settings with enabled Anti-Aliasing.

16.00":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
