Technical characteristics

We now go to the technical capabilities, in it we will find the processor AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, a processor with up to 65W TDP on the CPU, cwith 12 cores in total, offering a peak performance of 5,1 GHz, moving 50 TOPS in total.

The graphics card, a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 offers 321 TOPS, fully designed to run Artificial Intelligence (like the processor), which makes this ASUS ProArt PX13 a "Copilot+" device.

• RTX accelerated encoding
• Faster rendering in our tests
• Real-time video editing with 3D design
• stable diffusion
• Low-performance AMD Radeon 890M graphics card

This GeForce RTX 4070 (Laptop) has 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM and is capable of executing cinematic quality rendering in real time, therefore, in addition to creating content, you will be able to enjoy "top" video games at a high level of graphics.

• 17686 PassMark points for the GPU
• XDNA neural processor up to 50 TOPs

We cannot stop here, and we have 32GB LPDDR5X RAM integrated into the board, the same as its storage 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0, Yes, both RAM and mass storage offer two of the fastest alternatives available on the market, all running Windows 11 (Home) very well.

Multimedia and creation by flag

We start with the screen, and what a screen... We have a 13,3-inch panel with 3K resolution (2.880 x 1.800) OLED type in a 16:10 aspect ratio.

This panel has only 0,2ms input lag, But yes, as a laptop designed for content creation, the refresh rate is limited to “only” 60Hz, something relatively common in this type of panels, and without a doubt what would be its least positive point.

The screen has 400 nits brightness at nominal rate, pure blacks, and 500 nits of maximum brightness in HDR.

• TÜV certification
• Eye Care SGS Screen
• Almost 4.100 pressure levels
• Delta E Color Accuracy >1
• Dolby Vision

Needless to say, we have certification VESA HDRTure Black 500, Over 1 billion colors and Pantone certification for the quality and fit of the colors it displays. Obviously, this panel is touch-sensitive and fully compatible with the ASUS stylus.

• Native apps:
  • StoryCube
  • MuseTree (AI)
  • CapCut
  • MyASUS
  • ProArt Creator Hub
  • ScreenXpert (to adjust the panel)
  • GlideX

What a truly amazing panel to create and consume content. But it is not only here, the sound tuned by Harman / Kardon It is a delight, it has intelligent amplification technology and has an array of microphones to use in our conversations. We have a high enough volume without losses.

Connectivity, creativity and autonomy

Obviously, in a laptop designed for "creating", we cannot be limited by connectivity, which is why we have Tri-band WiFi 7, as well as Bluetooth 5.4 if what we intend is to take advantage of wireless connectivity. The cutting edge of technology in this regard, which has allowed me to enjoy speeds greater than 800 MB through my router.

We will highlight your backlit chiclet keyboard, with a good journey and that allows us to write a lot of content for a long time, with a depth of 1,7 millimeters. But its precision touchpad stands out even more, with support for Dialpad and above all, with absolute integration with Copilot. It is large and functional, although its range of action remains limited, a sector where, until now, Huawei and Apple dominate.

As for physical ports, we have a little of everything, always Last generation:

• 1x USB 3.2 type A
• 2x USB 4.0 type C (not Thunderbolt certified, but PD)
• 1x HDMI 2.1 FRL
• 1x 3,5 millimeter jack
• 1x Power input if we want to leave the USB-C free
• 1x microSD 4.0 card reader up to 1TB

To comunicate, We have a camera with HD resolution, as well as an IR facial recognition function, compatible with Windows Hello and that appears sufficient, without fanfare, for the usual Teams video calls.

Now let's talk about autonomy, we have 73 WHrs (lithium ion) and a 200W power adapter, more than enough for a day of work. Thanks to its well-sized double air outlet, the device does not heat up excessively, even when editing video, and allows us to face a day of work without problems.

Editor's opinion

Those of you who have followed me for a long time will know that I have gone through SONY VAIO, Apple MacBook, Huawei, ASUS... One thing is clear to me, above 13 inches it is no longer a laptop, but a mobile workstation, and those who We work with this, we usually use monitors. This computer is versatile, powerful and delights with a screen that allows us to enjoy creating and consuming content in any circumstance.

It is not cheap, from €2.100 depending on the point of sale. Nor does it pretend to be, any more than a mechanic's tools or an artist's paints are. When you spend on work tools, you are not consuming, you are investing. The only reason it doesn't have a ten is the screen refresh rate.
