Asus is set to release its ProArt P16 laptop, featuring the new RTX 50-series GPUs and a distinct high-end display. The laptop’s flagship configuration will include Nvidia’s RTX 5090 mobile GPU and a 16-inch tandem OLED touchscreen with a resolution of 3840 x 2400, capable of achieving 1,600 nits of brightness in HDR and a refresh rate of 120Hz with variable refresh rate (VRR) support. The pricing for this model is expected to be $3,999.99 and is slated for launch internationally in mid-October, followed by a U.S. release in December.
Key specifications for the P16 include an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU, 64GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and 4TB of SSD storage provided by two 2TB NVMe drives. Connectivity options encompass Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and several ports, including a 40Gbps USB4 port, a 10Gbps USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port, two 10Gbps USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, HDMI 2.1, a 3.5mm audio jack, and an SD Express 7.0 card slot.
The P16 is designed as a competitor to the 16-inch MacBook Pro, featuring a sleek black design. Weighing 1.95 kg (4.3 pounds) and measuring 14.9mm (0.59 inches) in thickness, it maintains a portable profile. The laptop’s RTX 5090 GPU is rated for up to 120W of total graphics power (TGP), which may lead to thermal throttling under heavy loads.
Additionally, the P16 emphasizes creativity through its enhanced display and the inclusion of Asus’ DialPad, a circular dial within the trackpad designed for improved control in creative applications. For consumers looking for alternative pricing, Asus will continue offering the entry-level 2024 model with an RTX 4060 for $1,999.99, along with mid-tier options for the 2025 version starting at $2,499.99 featuring RTX 5070 and 5080 GPUs.
