Best Buy has now put the "Open-box" 2024 Asus ProArt P16 creator laptop equipped with a 4K OLED display, 32 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of storage on sale in a variety of conditions. The "Open-Box Excellent" ProArt P16 will net you a notebook that looks brands new and is enjoying a massive $520 discount.

Be it the budget-focused Vivobook S 14 or the high-end creator-focused machines like the ProArt series, Asus laptops, like almost all Windows machines, can often be found at deep discounts. These discounts are quite big in the case of pre-owned units that retailers like Best Buy often put on sale.

On that note, you can currently find the “Open-Box” Asus ProArt P16 (H7606) with a 4K OLED panel and a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 for as low as $1,030.99 at Best Buy. This price is for a unit in “Fair” condition. However, spending just $1,129.99 will get you an “Open-Box Excellent” Asus ProArt P16 machine that looks and works like a new one (linked at the end). This makes the laptop a pretty juicy deal since a brand-new unit officially retails for over $1,600.

Specs-wise, the Asus ProArt P16 (H7606) relies on a powerful Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU, an RTX 4060 laptop GPU, 32 GB of RAM, 1 TB of storage (upgradeable courtesy of a second M.2 slot), and a 16-inch 4K OLED display. Distributed around the aluminum chassis we have a nice mix of 2x Type-C (one USB 4), two Type-A, and other usual suspects like an HDMI 2.1 out. A 90 Wh cell is tasked with keeping the lights on.

Being a laptop aimed at creative professionals, the key strengths of the Asus ProArt P16 lie in the screen and performance. As such, the 16-inch touch-sensitive 4K OLED panel is a joy to use for both editing photos/videos and media watching as shown by our testing. The panel covers almost complete sRGB/DCI-P3/AdobeRGB gamut, comes pre-calibrated, and boasts an infinite contrast ratio. The only real downsides here are the limited 60 Hz refresh rate and only 360 nits of average brightness.

Performance-wise, our review device with a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and RTX 4070 showed excellent performance, particularly in the CPU department where the APU scores 1,200 points in the Cinebench 2024 Multi-core test. Combined with the RTX 4060 laptop inside the machine on sale, users can expect fast operation in both professional and gaming workloads.

Finally, the Asus ProArt P16 boasts moderate emissions that don’t become a bother and more than 8 hours of WLAN use at 150 nits which is a solid result considering the 4K OLED panel.

So, creative professionals and multimedia aficionados should be quite happy with the Asus ProArt P16 (H7606) on sale.
