Summary
- ASUS ProArt GoPro Edition PX13 boasts AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor.
- Features 13-inch OLED touch display and 128GB unified memory.
- Priced at $3,000, it targets video editors and creative professionals.
ASUS has launched the ProArt GoPro Edition PX13, a laptop designed for video editors and creative professionals, integrating GoPro branding and features. This model is built with mil-spec durability, offering resistance to extreme outdoor conditions and including 12 months of GoPro's Cloud Plus Premium service.
The PX13 is powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor, boasting 16 Zen 5 cores, integrated Radeon 8060S Graphics, and significant AI capabilities. It features a compact 13-inch, 2,880 x 1,800 OLED touch display and comes equipped with 1TB of storage and 128GB of unified memory.
This high-performance machine comes at a premium price of $3,000, with a variant at $2,800 offering half the memory. The design echoes GoPro's aesthetic with a ribbed metal back and ridges, appealing to extreme sports enthusiasts. Despite its 3.06-pound weight, it includes a substantial 200W power brick.
The OLED touchscreen offers excellent color accuracy with Delta < 1 and 100 percent DCI-P3 coverage, supporting Dolby Vision. As a 360-degree convertible, it includes an ASUS Pen, making it suitable for artists who can use it in tablet mode for sketching or painting.
Performance-wise, the laptop handles demanding creative applications like DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere Pro smoothly, with efficient video encoding and decoding capabilities. However, intensive workloads can cause frequent fan engagement and significant battery drain when not plugged in.
Benefiting from 128GB of fast unified memory, the PX13 supports local AI model execution for enhanced privacy. It also delivers impressive battery life, lasting over 11 hours on the PCMark 10 Modern Office test, narrowing the performance-per-watt gap with competitors.
While the ProArt GoPro Edition PX13 excels in many areas, its $3,000 cost places it in direct competition with high-end MacBook Pros. For users seeking a Windows PC with a touchscreen tailored for creators, this ASUS model presents a compelling, albeit expensive, option.
