ASUS has unveiled the new ProArt StudioBook 16 OLED and ProArt StudioBook Pro 16 OLED, two machines that have 16:10 displays and 45 W processors. Both are available with 4K OLED displays and AMD Ryzen 5000H or Intel Core/Xeon processors, along with several innovations unique to the ProArt StudioBook 16 series.
Both laptops can be configured with up to an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, or an Intel Core i9-11900H for the ProArt StudioBook 16 OLED. On the other hand, ASUS offers an optional Intel Xeon W-11955M for the ProArt StudioBook Pro 16 OLED, which is unavailable on the non-Pro model. Moreover, the non-Pro model can be configured with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 or GeForce RTX 3070, while the Pro model gets an RTX A2000 or an RTX A5000.
