Trick your company in to buying this - ASUS ProArt P16 Laptop

[@p5rsona]

I dont know what bothers me the most. touchscreen laptops that dont open 360 degrees to draw on, or 99% of tech reviewers that dont even bother to test the stylus input, one of the main selling points of this laptop.

[@ankur-dhama]

Exactly, a touchscreen laptop without 2-in-1 form factor is utterly stupid.

[@antonhowell4195]

That's a bit much lmao, i don't need a acreen that folds all the way over because i have a drawing tablet for that. And while a touch screen isn't critical, it does come in really handy at times​, like when showing someone 3d models on my laptop its just so much more intuitive to pan around the object, and they also dont have to learn the controls to do it themselves @ankur-dhama

[@coolcatjk30]

​@antonhowell4195 that is not what this PC is for tho. If the touch screen is just an addon then your point is valid. But if it's marketed as a professional artist device, then it needs to have the features and form factor that makes it practical and usable. Drawing on a traditional laptop in a traditional form factor is terrible and uncomfortable as hell. Might as well use a drawing slate and stylus. Which defeates the whole point of a touch screen. Edited for spelling and grammer (damn autocorrect)

[@torpedospurs]

Yup this inability to put the screen at 180 degrees for stylus input is a regression from the previous Raptor Lake version. Another regression is not having 4080 and 4090 versions.

[@meal_team_six]

As someone who has had hands on with this laptop, it reminds me of a less expensive/lesser quality ThinkPad P1 G6. The keyboard is good but not as tactile as the Thinkpad - the keys are completely flat without a concave design like the thinkpad. You can easily flex and warp the base of the ProArt whereas the ThinkPad's base is solid. The overall look, fit, feel, and dimensions are on par with the Thinkpad. They have similar design asethetics and port availability. I think it's a great computer and would definitely get one if I didn't own the Thinkpad already.

[@meal_team_six]

@@TheJjjoj I replaced their shitty captive screws with aftermarket screws and it's rock solid - barely a flex in the chassis. You should try it and I don't mean that to be snarky. It makes a world of difference. I ordered mine off Amazon ---> Kadrick 660 Pcs M2 Screw Assortment kit. Costs ~$8 USD and now it has me thinking if I ever order another ThinkPad again to just go ahead and replace the chassis screws by default to increase base rigidity . But getting back to your comment, the flex on the ProArt is very noticeable. Like I think I could warp it with just my hands to the point it would break. I don't know if I could say that about the P1 series, definitely not with the Surface Laptop 7. The ProArt base seems that malleable which to mean felt lesser quality than the laptops I typically use. Still a good laptop, just wanted to note what stood out to me when I got a chance to use the ProArt. Everything else you said is on point. No disagreement here.

[@owlnet32]

Got the 14" 4070 and absolutely love it. Great for creativity and gaming. You forgot to mention how it can turn into a tablet, also you can use the keyboard as the base and push the screen forward for some amazing controller gaming on the go as a portable console.

I got my work to go halves on the P16 with me! Its overpowered for my design work. My 1st gaming computer and I love it. Runs Mx bikes and all the games I've always wanted to try that are PC only.

I still can't understand why nobody does decent budget laptops anymore. Yes, I realize this is not meant to be budget, but it drives me crazy that we can't get the same quality of machine with a ZEN APU or something like a Steam Deck in a laptop body and not have to pay like $1k for it. This just represents another laptop in a long line of new, high-tier machines that totally miss the mark on what people really want.

Are they gonna make a 17" version?

I found this exact spec model on US BestBuy for 1899. Maybe its Best Buy Exclusive for that option set?

Try it with multiple external monitors. Both HDMI and TypeC. And Fbook and youtube shorts. My laptop hangs for 5 days. It looks like the 4070 has problems with external monitors.

I have been a gamer for many years, starting with the NES, Mega Drive, even Dreamcast progressing to PC through a bunch of GPUs like the glorious GTX 1080 Ti, and now using the GTX 4080 in my PC. I also do professional video editing, so I need color accuracy, true blacks, high brightness, unlimited RAM, good response, CPU flexibility, time responses, multi hard-drice builds... But seriously, I thought we were over the whole 60Hz obsession already-who needs more than that unless they're playing in a competitive/professional gaming environment? It's just another money black hole created by companies, and I dont know why I always see this comments coming from the same part of the world... 🤔

The 64GB / RTX 4070 / 2TB SSD Model is 4200 USD in Germany. Phew.

So now even Alex dont mention gpu wattage? Wtf?

There is no mention of PWM flickering, which is sad. As someone who bought and returned it, if you are sensitive to PWM flickering, DON'T buy it if you don't want an eye sore and headache.

[@zchrode]

tbh this whole video feels more like an ad

[@bocao4498]

@zchrode Not considering PWM and too little USB-C ports, this laptop is quite good, maybe the best one for content creation in this generation.

[@AshishSinghKalkandha]

I have G16 but I wanna know that why they have charging and power indicator on back side of the laptop 😓😫

If this had a high refresh rate screen it'd be the perfect laptop.

@@p0lqroid I've been happy with my 2023 G16. The X13 is way too small.

Last I checked, there are no 4K 120hz OLED displays available on the market and the only 4K 90hz are exclusive to Dell (I believe they currently have an exclusive deal for them). So, would you rather have a 1440p 120hz display or 4K 60hz? If it is designed for graphic design and video editing, then the refresh rate is less important than the resolution. They made the right choice for people looking for a OLED panel, but I honestly would rather see a 4K 120hz LCD SHARP Igzo panel like Dell used on the previous generation XPS devices (I previously had an XPS 17 9700). It was a brighter display. LCD uses less battery and doesn't have burn-in issues (which I have already experienced on this Asus ProArt P16). I also found the XPS colors to look slightly better. The Asus ProArt P16 has a slightly green tint and worse off-axis viewing than the XPS with the LCD display.

@@tylers6637 Or just get a MacBook. Mini LED with promotion up to 120hz. Better battery life, higher brightness, better speakers, better performance per watt etc etc. Better in virtually every metric it’s no surprise it’s the go to laptop for nearly all professionals

Don't they usually check for flex in the keyboard area as well? He did it on the least flexible part of the laptop

[@hananas2]

Full size SD makes much more sense than microSD. Anyone actually seriously using an SD card reader in a laptop will probably be using full size SD cards for cameras. Others like me just buy one of those little USB microSD readers.

[@BakersTaste]

I’m not a writer. Maybe the difference, but I still have no use for the touchscreen on my laptop. Never compelled to use it

Is that HDR?
