ASUS - ProArt PX13 13 3K Touch Screen Laptop - Copilot+ PC - AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 - 32GB Memory - RTX 4050 - 1TB SSD - Nano Black

The Specs - CPU - AMD Ryzen Ai 9 Hx 370 Processor (50 TOPs of NPU), A Graphics - AMD Radeon 890M & NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 RAM - 32GB LPDDR5X running at 7500 MHz Display - 13” 3K (2880x1800) Oled Touch display with a 16:10, 500 nits peak brightness, 60hz panel Storage - 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD (Single slot) Network Communications - WiFi 7(802.11be) (Triple band) 2*2 + Bluetooth 5.4 Battery - 73WHrs, 4S1P, 4-cell Li-ion Ports - Right Side - Power button, microsd card reader, USB-A (10gbs), and a USB-C (40gbs) port. Left Side - 3.5mm headphone jack, USB-C (40gbs), hdmi 2.1, and the specialized port for power. Overall port selection for this computer is great. You have options. The only thing I don’t love is the fact that you have to utilize the power cord on the left side of the laptop. A very cool option is that in a pinch, you can use USB-C to charge the unit while you use it if you don't do gaming or heavy workloads. Weight and Power brick - The unit comes in at approximately 3.1lbs (3.094lbs) and once you add the power brick, total weight is approximately 4.3lbs (4.322lbs). The power brick itself looks and feels like quality materials were used and gives you approximately 9ft. The cords are a little stiff but feel very durable. Unboxing Experience - From the unboxing, in which packing material was rocking the black theme, to the presentation of the laptop inside its box and ultimately the unwrapping, the initial unveiling retained the natural excitement of receiving a new laptop and wanting to use it. The unit itself was surprisingly light and felt well built. Opening the laptop was surprisingly easy and definitely fulfills the windows user dream for one handed opening. First impressions - The unit itself feels great. Picking it up feels good in the hand and has hardly any flex on the unit (screen, body, keyboard) and its lightness is appreciated especially with one handed adventures. The screen looks awesome. Colors and images are sharp and vivid. The screen sports a glossy finish which inherently does produce glares from other light sources, but glossy is the norm now. The panel is 60hz which may bum some people out but honestly, unless you love scrolling up and down websites like a madman or are a competitive first-person shooter gamer, this really isn’t a huge deal. Another plus to the screen is that it’s a touch panel and can actually fold back on itself, making it a tablet-like device. A thoughtful addition from Asus is that the screen sports raised edges around the screen that works in tandem with little bumpers on the keyboard base to keep the screen from touching the keyboard when you close it. The keyboard and trackpad are good and unless you are directly comparing it to another manufacturer, you probably wouldn’t complain. The keys, to me, are a little mushy. They offer no real resistance, and you can mush your way into a blissful, quiet typing experience. The trackpad is responsive but at times, depending on how you are using the laptop, can interfere with typing as your palms can come to rest on the trackpad. The clicking aspect is okay and overall, I’d label it as just average. System responsiveness is excellent. There are no complaints as the laptop is smooth as butter on a hot piece of toast. During everyday tasks such as opening and using office documents, surfing zillow for a home, checking in on facebook, and opening a ton of tabs in a web browser for comparison shopping, the laptop is a pleasure to use. Fans rarely kick in but the system does get slightly warm. It's not too bothersome but you probably might notice the warmth. Fans and heat can be a problem if you do use the laptop for anything such as gaming or more intensive productivity tasks. The fans definitely become much more noticeable. Like it's embarrassing in more quiet environments or around macbook users but passable in noisy environments or if you're alone. Heat wise, you are looking at mid 80F around the keyboard while doing most tasks with approximately 33 decibels. In games or more taxing productivity tasks, those temps will hit around 105F or more with fans hitting around up to 53 decibels. The highest heat comes from the center of the unit (like the t,y,g,h keys) While oddly the keys seem usable, you definitely will notice the heat coming from the keyboard. I tried disabling the NVIDIA 4050 and just using the AMD 890M but there was no real advantage in regards to quieting the laptop under more strenuous tasks or games. I did find that the noise can be easily solved by just setting the laptop to use the whisper mode. You still can play games like Diablo IV, Horizons - Zero Dawn with near native resolutions and high quality, especially if you toggle the DLSS options. This is a fantastic option as you can game without being embarrassed by the noise. The web camera quality is sufficient I’d say. You’ll have to work with light, angle, and settings to produce a quality image. The audio quality is surprisingly good for such a small unit. There was battery drain during sleep mode. I’d close the computer lid in the evening and come back in the morning and noticed about a 6%-8% loss. I ran basemark web 3.0 (full screen brightness for an hour then dropped it to 70% brightness, using the balanced plan and not altering any other system settings) to get a feel about how long this machine could last in more demanding situations. From 92%, I got approximately 2hrs 36mins. This is obviously a much more draining task than doing light web browsing, listening to music and some productivity tasks. The Asus software I think is very good. The creator hub has a lot of useful options and information that you can see and change. I think Asus gives you a refined experience and things such as screen dimming when you're not looking at the screen works very well. Asus does not seem to pack in a lot of excessive useless software, which I like. In conclusion - This laptop is great. It has a lot of things going for it and if you are looking for a small, powerful workhorse that can do anything you throw at it, this is, as long as you’re not ashamed when it gets a little noisy to cool itself. If you don't need all that power, toggle the whisper mode and you won't have any noise problems. Price wise if you get this for around $1400-1500 or cheaper, there is little that rivals it in terms of power, quality, and versatility. You just have to ask yourself if you want a quieter unit with less heat at the sacrifice of power or are you okay with the little noise and heat to do more intensive tasks?

Amazing laptop, it actually feels to nice of a laptop to the point where you're scared to even put it in tablet mode and move it around. Its really fragile compared to most laptops. coming from a asus rog for business/artwork etc. Overall amazing laptop that gives you everything you need without bringing a tablet that runs an entirely different operating system. Concerns: it seems asus decided to make the touchpad more "pretty" or modern but it has this slippery material that even the tinest amount of oil or just anything on your fingers causes a lag on the touchpad, i really hope this is a bug and not part of the touchpad, turning up sensitivity makes it work a lot better but still same issue occasionally im hoping ill stick with a mouse or the touchscreen for now until its fixed This is such a deal breaker ive never actually expeirenced a laptop like this before. Maybe it has a gloss finish instead of normal which i think is matte? For everyone complaining about the 60fps lock on the screen, im the type of person who said they would never go back to 60hz but here i am and i promise the oled screen makes up for it and i cant even tell. Im a graphics artist my day to day is emails, pdfs, large graphic projects using scaling so these parts are a must. If you draw or create drawings of any kind i highly recommended this laptop.

laptop is so smooth and fast with 360 degree flip helped me in my college writing purpose and even as laptop and with the dedicated graphic card i can play games
