The Asus ProArt P16 is a creator-focused laptop that stands out from the competition with its powerful local AI capabilities. The laptop boasts an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, paired with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, making it a formidable device for artists, editors, designers, and photographers.
The display features a 16-inch OLED touchscreen with a 60Hz refresh rate and 3,840 x 2,400 resolution, offering impressive color accuracy and sharpness. The laptop’s “Nano Black” chassis is both classy and durable.
One of the key features that sets the ProArt P16 apart is its use of local AI, which means AI processing happens directly on the device rather than in the cloud. This approach provides three significant benefits: creatives can work offline, get faster responses, and maintain control over their data.
The laptop also runs Microsoft Copilot AI on-device, unlocking features that rely on this hardware. With 50 TOPS of NPU processing power, it can handle on-device AI workloads with ease.
However, the ProArt P16 comes at a hefty price tag, starting at $2,499 and available in Q2 2025. For those who don’t require the laptop’s powerful features, Asus has also refreshed its Chromebook series and ExpertBook series.
The competition from Apple MacBooks is significant, but with local AI capabilities and a powerful processor, the ProArt P16 stands out as a top choice for creative professionals.
