The ProArt Studiobook 16 OLED is fast, but too loud

[Redaktion]

Asus has upgraded its Studiobook 16 for 2023. The DialPad for creative users remains, but the processor is now much faster. However, the cooling has more work to do, which is noticeable through the loud fans.

I appreciate the option for vibrant displays paired with good GPUs, but they need to tone it down with the "ProArt" side of the branding.

Such a label is alienating to non-creators who just like the look of OLED, and it oversells the capabilities of the display for those who truly do need low Delta-E.

120Hz is welcome, and touchscreen is nice. However, this update as a whole ruins the minimalistic aesthetics of the predecessor -- looks that suffer as much as the presumable strength and repairability of the new edge-to-edge glass. We need more on-cell touch, and less laminated panel touch.
