Asus' New ProArt A16 Could Be the Best Laptop for Photo Editing
Asus has updated its ProArt A16 professional creative laptop with the latest graphics from Nvidia, combining high-end performance components with a gorgeous OLED display. Its 16-inch form factor ensures plenty of screen space, and with the latest neural processor from AMD, it has everything it needs to take advantage of Microsoft's Copilot+ features. The Asus ProArt range has been one of the premier professional, creative laptops for a few generations, and this latest edition doesn't pull any punches. It has one of AMD's most powerful mobile processors, the 12-core Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, and pairs it with the latest Nvidia mobile RTX 5070 graphics. This generation, the default memory configuration is 64GB, ensuring you have all the RAM you need for even the most demanding of tasks, and there's space for up to 3TB of fast NVMe storage. Credit: Asus The main upgrade this generation, though, is the display. Asus ProArt laptops are built around the idea of a gorgeous display, and the latest model meets the standard. It's a 16-inch, 3K (2,880-by-1,800) OLED panel, with a 16:10 aspect ratio, making longer documents and webpages more comfortable to read. This is a slightly lower resolution than the last-generation design, but it has a much higher refresh rate at 120Hz. That makes it better for 3D animation and for watching back high-paced videos, as well as for gaming in the off hours. It's fully VESA-certified and Nvidia Studio-validated to provide a stunning image, with incredible contrast, high brightness, and eye-catching color. This laptop has a powerful neural processor built into the CPU, offering up to 50 TOPS performance, and the GPU can manage several hundred TOPS of its own in supporting apps. This combination lets this laptop take advantage of new Copilot+ features recently integrated with Windows 11, as well as future AI releases Microsoft has planned. It can also run some of Asus' own AI-powered apps, like StoryCube and MuseTree, entirely locally. That lets you use generative AI at the edge, without any oversight, censorship, or data gathering by outside parties. Even with these new additions, the laptop remains relatively thin and light at just over half an inch thick and just over four pounds. You probably wouldn't want to use it on your lap for too long at that size, though. This laptop will be on sale soon with a starting price of $2,500. If you want to save a little, the last-generation option with an RTX 4070 and slower 60Hz (but 4K) display is still available. Elsewhere at Computex, Asus launched the fastest gaming monitor in the world, and an eGPU dock with Thunderbolt 5 support.

The ASUS ProArt A16 laptop gets you the latest from AMD and a giant screen
ASUS is updating both its ProArt laptop and its Chromebooks with the latest internals for Computex 2025, and giving both families of laptops a more premium look, with new colors and tasteful finishes. The ASUS ProArt A16 stands out as the most premium pick, with a black aluminum body, "stealth" hinge that bring the top half of the laptop nearly flush with the bottom and a smudge-resistant finish that should hopefully avoid fingerprints. Inside, ASUS is offering an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX processor and a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, both of which qualify the new ProArt as a Copilot+ PC. That means you'll get access to Windows' growing list of AI features, and ASUS is also including to apps — StoryCube and MuseTree — that can run generative AI models entirely locally. All packed into a laptop that's around half-an-inch thick and has a 16-inch 4K OLED. In terms of Chromebooks, ASUS is offering both normal models and Chromebook Plus versions that support Google's AI tools. The ASUS Chromebook Plus CX34 has a 14-inch display that can fold flat and a 1080p webcam, alongside up to an Intel Core i5 and 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM. That's enough to offer Gemini features locally, and you'll get priority access to Gemini Advanced. The only real disadvantage is the giant ASUS logo that still looks awkward next to the similarly prominent Chromebook logo, and the limited color options: You can only pick between white or grey. The ASUS Chromebook CX14 and CX15 come with up to an Intel Core N355 processor, put to 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of storage. If you're curious about Google's AI features, you can also purchase a Plus version of the CX14. Whether you get the 14-inch or 15-inch model, both come with a respectable selection of ports, including HDMI for connecting to external displays. Either size also gets a variety of color options: blue, and a sliver-y grey or a greenish-grey in a either a matte or textured finish. The ASUS Chromebook CX34 is available now starting at $400 from both Walmart and Best Buy. Meanwhile, the rest of the above laptops won't be available until Q2 2025. The ProArt A16 starts at $2,500 from ASUS' online store and Best Buy. The Chromebook CX14 starts at $279 from Best Buy or Costco. The Chromebook Plus CX14 will be available for $429 from Best Buy. And finally the Chromebook CX15 starts at $220 and will be able to be purchased from Best Buy and Amazon.
