- I've spent three months with the Asus ProArt StudioBook Pro 16 OLED and I must say, it is my favorite laptop of 2021 and heading into 2022. But I still have my reservations, so in this video, I'm gonna highlight 6 things to be aware of before you buy...
💻 StudioBook 16 R9 + RTX 3070 ( geni.us/StudioBookR9-3070 - Commission Earned )
💻 StudioBook 16 R9 + RTX 3060 ( geni.us/StudioBookR9-3060 - Commission Earned )
💻 StudioBook 16 i7 + RTX 3060 ( geni.us/StudioBook-i7-3060 - Commission Earned )
💻 StudioBook 16 Intel Xeon ( geni.us/tudioBookProXeon-A5000 - Commission Earned )
The performance, build quality, Asus Dial, and agreeable battery life make the Asus ProArt StudioBook Pro 16 OLED an on-the-go creator workflow masterpiece. My favorite aspect by far is the dial combined with an excellent performance from the Ryzen 9 5900HX. I wish they would have made a few adjustments to the software in order to help with battery life and cooler temperatures while working on this laptop. But overall I love it.

Thanks for the review. My Xeon version is due to arrive 2/15. Pre-ordered at B&H a month ago.
Hello Ben, would you still recommend getting this laptop now almost a year later or just wait for the newer version?
The ProArt StudioBook 16 VS. ROG Strix Scar 15 (2022) + Ram upgrade, is killing me.
Awesome channel Ben!
Hey Ben, first of all congrats for the great channel, one of my favourite reviewer because focused on creative work, with fair and well made reviews., love your content man!
I have a big question: am looking to upgrade from my Acer Conceptd3 Pro (which served me super well until now) because I need to start fiddling with Unreal Engine and 3D rendering. I've been shortlisting between the StudioBook Pro 16 and the new Zephyrus ROG G15, both with an nvidia 3070 and AMD CPU. I got the vibe that with one I'd get a much better screen , the useful dial and a solid workstation overall, whilst with the Zephyrus I'd get better portability (which is important but not main priority) and better battery life., trading for a lower end screen. Would you think these two machines, specc'd as I indicated would be comparable? Any insight that could help me choose? Thanks a lot man
I really appreciate your kind words and support for my channel.
Yeah, I think the two are comparable. Overall I would personally lean towards the StudioBook. Overall it has an edge on the G15 for the reasons you mentioned. However you’re right, with the 5900HS CPU over the 5900HX you will see slightly better battery life. Could be worth it, but that’s definitely gonna have to be a personal conviction on your part.
Cheers, Ben
Such a quick reply, thanks a lot man, appreciate your input!
Gonna be a tough choice because I really like the portability of the Zephyrus but the limited Ram upgrade sucks, so, I’ll sleep on it 😜.
Again, kudos for everything, looking forward the next video.
Ciao!

@@BenGKaiser Ben why should I worry about the high temperature? Does it hurt performance? I am going to use it for photo editing using Capture One Pro. I would like to get the Ryzen so that I can spend some cash on a editing monitor. Do you have a video about how temperature effects this laptop and the benefits? Thanks for the great content 👍
Hey Ben! Waiting for you review on the Asus Vivobook Pro 16x oled. Love your content.
Ahh man! I’m waiting for that model!
When are you reviewing the Intel 12th Gen version? I just saw the website is up in Asus.
I gave up waiting on this so I just bought a Legion 7 instead, even though it only has the Ryzen 7 but at least it has the RTX 3070. I saved a lot of money also.
i am still waiting on this . but i can't anymore. i am looking for asus zenbook pro duo or hp zbook g8. But no laptop could come near to this beast.
@@ElcluasicoChuuad hi , stopped waiting, can't do it anymore. I bought another instead.
What's difference between ryzen 7 and RTX?
Do you happen to have Cinebench R23 benchmark scores for the newer 12th gen i7 12800 or 12700 w 3080Ti? Please let me know
Asus 16X the chassis is metal, what about the screen finishing?
Is it also metal?
I think the ArtPro has an other build and material quality ? 🤔
Hope receive an answer 🙌🏻
Does the Intel Xeon version edit 6k red footage with ease without drop frames say on a Davinci resolve?
How were the thermals for Intel I7 and I9 processor?
I recently faced a problem with my laptop as it was not turning on, so the service guy came checked and told me he had to change the motherboard, I was not worried since the laptop was under warranty. 2 days later the service guy mentioned that my motherboard approval has been rejected since they found moisture in the motherboard which was not caused by me, it is a natural process even the service guy mentioned. Fast forward to date the company has been offering me a 25% discount on part replacement which roughly comes to around 45,000/. So please keep in mind while buying Asus products that if a nature problem occurs they won't be responsible for the product. My product had only been 1 year 11 months. No doubt the performance of laptop is great but service is really bad.
Does anyone have any insight into how long Adorama's backorder process for this laptop looks like? Trying to make a decision to wait for available stock or instead purchase a MacBook pro.
Hi Ben, thanks a lot for review. Regarding the trackpad, do you mean that we can't use it by just touching the main area anywhere for click ? Like we have to clik the physical buttons all time ?! I am used of a macbook 2013 touchpad for years, and feel it is perfect even 8 years later... I am worried this proart trackpad stuff can be an issue for me to...
Oh I think I got it, I went on store to test some windows laptops to see other trackpads than macbooks. I guess you just can not "click" on the main surface of the trackpad, with a physcial feeling. Might not be such an issue, cause I don't use it so much on my macbook. Found a promo on a studiobook version with 32gb of ram + 3060, seriously thinking of getting it ;)
@@mathieudubost9730 I've been a mac user for 15 years now and thinking of switching to ProArt 16, 64GB, 2TB SSD, 3060. It is not much cheaper than the macbook but it is in stock. I was almost convienced until I saw the non-centric keyboard! How does if feel to you? Is it confusing to have the trackpad off center? Have you considered the new Dell XP17?
@@niya5258 So I bought a proart Studiobook 16 a few weeks ago. Thanks to Ben G Kaiser for the previous advices ! I did not really get into serious job on it for now, but the overall build quality is nice and feel premium. Not so easy to find on windows machines. You have to get used to the keyboard for sure, but I think it is ok after a few days and no big issue. Having a numpad for me is very precious, and I feel the dial wheel might be usefull for video and design work to. I am waiting to have a few days off on my current projects to install all apps on it and try the laptop more in depth. But the first feeling is pretty ok. Take a look at the new asus machines that were annouces yesterday, if you don't need a physcial numpad they might fit your needs.
@@mathieudubost9730 Thank you for sharing! The new ASUS machines look great, I'm not sure I can wait for them to roll out though:) Otherwise I'd be tempted to go down the path of Macbook running on Parallels...
Hey Ben, I am just about to buy this laptop and I'm wondering which configuration would you choose - i7&rtx3060 or r9&rtx3070? Tnx!!!
I wonder what this cost back when these first came out and now. picking one up for 2,099 atm not a bad price for the specs
I'm thinking of buying the ryzen 9 vivobook pro 14x and it has the same oled screen. I am a developer so consistently open windows split in half. Is that going to be a problem considering the oled burn in?
I saw one of the videos from linus and he had visible borders where the window split after a few months of usage ( his was a TV though).
Also , I use Linux most of the times and maybe the screen will suffer without the asus's burn in prevention software available only in windows.
did you get the vivobook? what made you choose that laptop over the studiobook. i also was thinking about the vivobook ryzen 9, they seem to have the same performance but for less of a price- minus the dial
@@_.hello_friend._ no I bought the Lenovo legion 5 pro.
What's the holdup with these? They are nowhere to be found?
OLED burn in concerns are not a concern under normal use. If you're using it for content creation, gaming, web browsing burn in is non existaent. If you decide to setup this laptop to display static art or static menu 24/7, then you will have problems. People expressed similar concerns when LED technology was first introduced in displays
I mean, I had two Lenovo P2 get burn in on the lower android 7 action black bar. I understand tho, those black pixels were never in use, and the white ones were always in use.
But it concerns me nonetheless, the ícons and the task bar, the hours I spend on Lightroom, all of that could create burn in and it's a real fear spending that much money on a work machine to have the screen get burn in.
Does ALL these ProArt series have the 3d Display ?
Excellent info. Thank you.
I'm looking at this in the 11th gen i7 with the rtx 3060. I've gotten mixed opinions on if I should just hold off and wait for a 12th gen, but the only thing I've found that looks more my style is the MSI Creator M16 (I've only seen reviews on the Z16, so I'm going in blind). I'm also looking at the MSI E16 Flip as well (because I also use OneNote). I make logos and stationary type products, and photo editing, with the Affinity program group. I'm currently using an 8th gen i5 Dell Latitude and it doesn't handle the programs well (gets hot, runs very slowly and sometimes shuts itself off).
Also, am I the only one who doesn't use a trackpad?!? Lol I have always hated trackpads, they just feel like I'm rubbing my finger on sand (weird pain issues I have). I'm an odd duck, I know lol.
Gen 12 is night and day a better cpu than Gen 11.
I never use trackpad either.
hey bro I am a beginner 3d artist and I am looking to buy a new computer and I want to buy this computer but there are two kinds of computer with two different prices, do you think that the extra money would be worth it in regards the graphics cards? for maya, blender, z brush and rendering? do you think that there will be a huge difference between these two computers worth paying the extra money? will rendering time in maya will be a lot faster?
these computers are the Asus Artpro book studio.
ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 OLED (W5600, AMD Ryzen 5000 series)
AMD Radeon™ Vega 7 Graphics, NVIDIA® RTX™ A2000 Laptop GPU
ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 OLED (W7600,11th Gen Intel)
Intel® UHD Graphics, NVIDIA® RTX™ A5000 Laptop GPU
This one or the new Lenovo Legion 5i pro?
When will next gen Legions will be available? Can you make new video about high end laptop buying guide?
@@superlaggyrigs best laptop overall
Yeah, this is just now finally available...but why bother now that it is only last gen processors?
I ordered mine yesterday. I got the base i7/32GB/3060/4KOLED. The Ryzen version is out of stock everywhere except Xotic PC but I would never give them my money.
Hey! Was that i711800 or i712700? Also, how has it been holding up to your expectations?
whats it like for actual "Art" tho.
i mean actual drawing not rotating 3d models or touching up photos
What’s with the 2 minutes of dead time at the end?
Hi Ben! Thanks to your videos about ProArt I decided to go ahead and purchase this device. However, what I don't understand is that whenever I choose RTX3070, it seems that OLED screen isn't available with this videocard? OLED is only available with 3060. Is this some kind of mistake?
FYI, Asus website has the 12th Gen Intel with up to 3080 RTX.
@@WarAlex16 tahnks for heads-up! I'm in Europe and 12th gen spec here is only available with RTX 3060. There's also 308 version, but it's way more expensive and is out of my budget unfortunately. So I'm in doubts now. Whether to go with AMD 5900 & RTX 3070, or Intel 12th gen & RTX 3060.
I can't find the 3070 version anywhere...
I tried purchasing this laptop several months ago but it was unavailable everywhere I looked. Still really want it but settled for another one.
@@superlaggyrigs HP omen 17t-ck000, kinda settled on it
Personally with Motion Graphics and 3D I'd like to see these laptops make the track pad much smaller and make more room for custom buttons which you could bind to different functions. I'll always use a mouse.
Yeah, I can't imagine a trackpad being faster than a mouse, ever
They do have what you need in Asus Zenbook Pro Duo, with 2nd touchscreen and ability to customize tons of button/slider/dial.
@@Jameshhl yeah but it doesn't have 1440p 120hz option unfortunately (for 15 inch)
See I have been using this from past 1 year now I am product designer and it's more of creator laptop not just a usual gaming or animator... so all these dial and pivot button is there for a reason when I am using my cad software it's really giving me the sense of ease of second mouse ....for heating up issues you need to monitor how you use it internally and physically since it's air vents gets dusty tho it makes alot of noise ...but personal it's really effective piece made for creators
Wow! Thanks for your long term feedback! I'm so glad you're taking advantage of the dial. I think it is amazing too!
Gib money to buy?
Just set a black wallpaper on oled screen. And there, no burn in.
the icons will burn in really badly still
What are the speed differences between the Intel vs AMD?
What speed are you referring to?
@@BenGKaiser expecially for Adobe Ligthroom/Photoshop and Premiere... I assume the AMD is better for battery life? Will it be better to wait for a 12th gen intel laptop?
wifi you didnt say the wifi what about the wifi no fix???
why could you just diable to dedicated gpu in device Management
I had to cancel my order on Amazon because it has been pending like several months already.I will go with new Generation laptops Shame this one also should be an alderlake laptop
4tb ontel for $4o vs a 1 tb ryzn for 2k. Not apple stocpaplea oncthat comparison
Ok, from my experience, I owned 2 Asus rog stick and from a lot of review that I heard, the Asus colour is more to redish, even with the ProArt and over saturated. so its not really the perfect colour accuracy my one when I calibrate it it showes 110 Srgb and 99 Adobe but never ever get my photo print and the colour like what I see. and I really mean it. its drove me crazy... not to mentioned, for my 2 laptop that I calibrated I end up ruined the colour completely and I regret it. asus is not that calibration friendly. the sofeware for spyder and disply Cal always freez and every time I open my screen it turned to blueish then took several minutes to turn to the calibrated mode and sometime not. also after 2 years of moderate use surprisingly my trackpad peeled off. I wish I can show you a photo of my trackpad looks really funny. never ever ever ever seen a trackpad peeled liek this way, not even with my chap old acer or Lenovo or HP.
Now the ProArt in Australia is $9999 which mean $10K and this price is ridicules should by car. while the cheap model is not exist at all in all Australia (so weird) and I had to order it from China, which is no no. specially that I don't have any protection after payment. ohh and the issue with the OLED and the glossy screen make it even worse. I feel asus are more to gaming and not creating.
Google laptopmag's "laptops with best battery life in 2022".
MBs rank #4, #9, and #10 compared to the best Windows/Intel laptops.
that studiobook 16 model specifically is vaporware, you can't buy it anywhere.
MacBookpro is worst ever laptop I've used. Heating issue, screen glitch, it hangs even with Adobe photoshop.
MacBook Pro m1 max is junk when it comes to discrete graphics
WHY-DO-PEOPLE-USE-TRACKPADS?! Is this some kind of masochism? Do you hate your wrists? Worst travel mouse is better than the best trackpad :D (I mean, for profesional work - for just browsing, watching Netflix, shopping etc. it's fine).
;)
😎
The design is so bad, and built material like plastic so cheap.
Dell XPS 17 oled = No where to be seen - No buy
Asus Studiobook 16 rtx3070 = No where to be seen - No buy
Asus ZenBook Duo ux582 = No where to bee seen - No buy
Apple M1 Max Pro 32 core = There are so many - Bought M1 Max 32 core 64gb ram
Super bizarre, right? I'd be rocking a Mac in a heartbeat if it ran what I needed it to.
