Born for Creative Pros
Turn your creative vision into reality with the ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 studio laptop: it pushes every boundary to give you the effortless creative experience you’ve always wanted, but never thought possible. With a certified color-accurate 16-inch 120 Hz 2.5K IPS wide-view 16:10 display, up to a breathtakingly powerful AMD Ryzen™ 9 5900HX processor, pro-grade NVIDIA RTX™ A2000 graphics, huge amounts of memory, advanced ultrafast storage, superb I/O connectivity, and ultra-precise fingertip control over your creative apps with the groundbreaking new ASUS Dial, ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 is simply the best creator laptop we’ve ever made.
Performance for professionals
ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 was designed with one goal in mind: to give you all the raw performance you need to handle even the toughest, most resource-hungry projects. It’s equipped with up to a mighty AMD Ryzen™ 9 5900HX processor, professional-grade NVIDIA RTX A2000 graphics, one of the world’s fastest SSDs, and has a flexible memory configuration with up to a massive 64 GB of high-speed RAM. It’s the ultimate professional laptop, built for the ultimate professional.
Fast graphics, stable drivers
Professional-level 3D graphics processing power is provided by NVIDIA RTX A2000 Laptop GPU, which is based on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, NVIDIA’s second generation of RTX technology. It blitzes through the toughest tasks, such as complex CAD models, 3D product design, or high-resolution video editing, thanks to the advanced features in the GPU, including ray tracing and AI acceleration and fast GDDR6 video memory, along with the ability to increase GPU power from 80 W to 110 W, adjusting the system fan speed as needed for optimum performance. For outstanding driver stability, we use NVIDIA Studio Drivers to ensure maximum performance, rock-solid reliability, and wide software compatibility.
As fast as your imagination
Powered by up to an AMD Ryzen™ 9 5900HX processor with 8 cores and 16 threads for effortless multitasking, ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 is capable of anything your imagination can create. There’s even more performance on tap when you enable Performance mode: this can boost the CPU power to 75 W sustained, or 95 W temporarily, adjusting the fan speed setting automatically to achieve best performance.
It’s cool to be quiet
Keeping a powerhouse like ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 cool is vital for top performance, but unwanted noise is the enemy of creativity. We’ve designed the ASUS IceCool Pro cooling system to let the mighty AMD CPU run comfortably at a blistering 135 watts total TDP (45 W CPU and 90 W GPU) in Performance mode — with no throttling. This remarkable feat of engineering uses dual 102-aerofoil blade fans, the world’s first to use over 100 blades3. The slim aerofoil blades are made from side-chain liquid crystal epoxy polymer (SCP): the quiet, power-efficient 3D-curved design increases airflow by 16%4. Six heat pipes and seven intelligent sensors ensure optimum cooling performance, while keeping everything quiet — under 40 dBA in Normal mode — so you can concentrate on the task at hand without distractions. In addition, ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 features NVIDIA’s AI-powered WhisperMode 2.0, which gives you even more control over the laptop’s fans so you can balance performance and acoustics.
Perfect visuals for perfect works
Your creations demand visual perfection, and ProArt StudioBook Pro 16 delivers it with a superb 16-inch 120 Hz 2.5K IPS wide-view display. This display delivers exceptional visuals that are VESA DisplayHDR™ 400 certified for excellent contrast, and the 100% DCI-P3 industry-standard color gamut ensures you’re seeing as many vivid, true-to-life colors as possible. For delivering the precise color accuracy, this display is Calman verified, PANTONE® Validated, and has a Delta-E color-accuracy value of less than 1.55. ProArt StudioBook 16 is also easier on your eyes for those long late-night sessions, with 70% lower blue-light emissions compared to LCD models, and it’s certified for eye care by TÜV Rheinland.
Make magic happen with ASUS Dial
Discover new ways to work with the brand-new and exclusive ASUS Dial, an intuitive physical controller that gives you instant and precise fingertip control over parameters in your creative apps. You can easily change brush size, change saturation, adjust layer opacity, or rapidly undo actions. You can also adjust screen brightness and volume, or vertical scroll to make your creative workflow smoother. There are over 70 functions available to help smooth your creative workflow. ASUS Dial is currently compatible with four Adobe apps: Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Photoshop Lightroom Classic, and After Effects. It’s fully customizable — and there are more compatible apps on the way!
Power up your imagination
ProArt Creator Hub features an overview dashboard, and allows you switch to different performance modes, calibrate your screen color, or customize your ASUS Dial. It’s a personal portal where you can monitor your laptop’s status, personalize settings, or optimize your workflow. You can also personalize your ASUS Dial for your preferred features, or setup the Customized Keys in Control Settings for endless creativity.
Thoughtful, innovative design
To streamline your creative workflows, your laptop needs to be an extension of yourself. ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 incorporates several hardware features specially crafted for creators, to give you intuitive, precise control over every action.
All the right connections
With a full complement of I/O ports, connecting your ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 to your studio peripherals, display devices and networks is easy. There are two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C® ports, with Power Delivery and DisplayPort support, a standard RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet LAN port, the latest HDMI® 2.1 port, and an SD Express 7.0 card reader that puts your connectivity leagues ahead of the pack.
Break the sound barrier
Sound by Harman Kardon and DTS®
The audio experts at Harman Kardon have certified that the finely tuned audio system meets their exacting standards, and DTS® technology delivers an amazing multi-channel sound experience, from any kind of source material. The volume-enhancing, distortion-suppressing dual-channel smart amplifier can drive the twin speakers at the maximum volume possible while preventing long-term damage to the sensitive voice coils of the speakers. Creating or listening to audio in your videos, movies, music or games has never sounded better!
High fidelity, higher standards
Bring your music and audio to life with the audiophile-grade ESS® SABRE DAC, featuring Hi-Res Audio certification for the highest possible audio playback quality and the ability to drive the world’s most sophisticated high-impedance headphones. The expanded dynamic range and lower distortion lets you enjoy richer, clearer highs and deeper bass, so you can immerse yourself in virtual 7.1-channel surround sound.
ISV-certified
For creatives, software is key. That’s why ASUS tests and invests in comprehensive ISV (Independent Software Vendor) certification processes to ensure ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 works as expected with professional applications from the world’s leading software companies.
Looks like new, always
A high-tech anti-fingerprint nano-coating preserves the clean and minimalist matte Star Black finish of your ProArt Studiobook Pro 16. This coating is not only tough and durable, but it also reduces reflectivity and gives your laptop a premium silky feel. Any water on the surface can simply be wiped off, thanks to the water-beading properties of the coating.
Ultratough, military-grade durability
ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 meets the ultra-demanding MIL-STD 810H military standard for reliability and durability, undergoing a punishing test regime that includes extended tests for operation in harsh environments. It also passes ASUS laptop tests that far exceed standards set by the industry.
