The New 2024 ASUS Laptops are Here and They're Beautiful

Got the brand new ProArt laptops

and the one in front of me here is unique because it's running Snapdragon. I've got two more over here

so I'm excited to check out all the new stuff. This one also seems to include a Pen 2.0

so obviously we're going to have Pen input. And my understanding about this model in front of me

is that this one is gonna be a kind of convertible situation

tablet and laptop experience. Well, to start with, this portion is extremely light

So this must be the tablet piece. 16 by 9 aspect ratio, front facing cameras, volume up and down in the top right corner

Dolby Atmos speakers and they are stereo, one on each side. We have these pins for docking

Type C is over here and then we have a couple of other ports which are covered in order to be protected from the elements I suppose

There's a full size SD card slot and another type C port

Also in the package there must be some sort of keyboard component and there it is

We have our keyboard section with this green color and then we've also got the top portion

which looks like it also behaves like a stand and it has an area for storage of your pen 2.0

And this is a fairly rigid stand so it should be able to hold in a number of different angles

Now this piece here should, yes, snap together magnetically and then the secondary portion

so it's like a two-piece case, will just slap on like that. So it's a two-stage kind of setup

You'll lift up the tablet and then you'll prop it up at whichever angle you like using this kickstand

which actually moves all the way down to there, which could be useful for drawing and pen input

When it's closed, that's what the whole package looks like. Fairly large trackpad, clicky

And because the keyboard sits flush with the table, there's no flex whatsoever

And surprisingly, some decent key travel. You think because it so thin but the keys pop up quite a bit And then the entire keyboard section is recessed our pen and the pen does include some extra nibs of a different size and as far as charging you

unveil the type c charge port by lifting up the back portion a couple of buttons on the pen also

and the entire thing will slide into the side here magnets are cool but you get an extra sense

of security by just having it inside of this compartment. It's not gonna pop out or fly out most likely

Now this external case has a nice texture to it. I like that they put these bumps

so you just have a little more confidence when you grip it. And the whole thing creates a fairly portable package

It's featuring a 13 inch 3K 16 by 10 Lumina OLED touchscreen

And IP52 will actually give you some water resistance on this device

It's measuring in at an ultra slim at nine millimeters, and the weight is under two pounds at 1.87 pounds

So if you're looking for something flexible, versatile, this is gonna be your offering

Of course, it's part of the ProArt line, so the idea here is professionals

creative types that are making things using their devices. If you want that kind of new form factor

plus you're going to get those battery advantages of having a Qualcomm chip inside of a device like this

Let's check out the next unit here. We're going up in terms of scale

Oh, this is gonna be very thin and light. Ooh, look at that matte black finish

I really like this subtle branding that they've gone with just in the corner, nothing in the central portion

This feels quite sleek and stealth like. Power switch, micro SD, USB-A, type C, power

full size HDMI is there, another type C and og audio. Single finger display lift

Ooh, super solid. And the keyboard, surprisingly similar. Maybe slightly more travel

but a very similar style to the convertible device. This display, oh

We have our tent mode. Obviously, we have our full-on tablet mode

We have our touchscreen. We have our pen input. So now we have two options for versatility I mean I suppose the advantage there is that you able to remove the tablet independently so you have the most portable scenario

But the advantage here is you're getting an integrated solution, more laptop-like, but then with convertible features

This has another large glass trackpad, and this actually integrates their wheel as well

So this is going to be able to control various aspects in certain creative applications, well really any applications

In this case, the Pen 2.0 included as well as a USB-A to Ethernet adapter

You can configure this system with up to 32 gigs of RAM. The PX13 is coming in at 1.3 kilos and 15.8 millimeters

13.3 inch display, 16 by 10 aspect ratio at 3K pixels. So the peak performance is 115 watt TDP

So you're going to be able to do all of your intensive tasks and then even do a little bit of gaming using that RTX 4070

Okay, last up, the big boy. Oh, definitely larger and it comes with a backpack

Wow, I kind of want to start with this backpack. Like this is a high quality backpack

Look at this thing. metal clasps and like thick straps. You can carry it like this

Now you're used to having this happen like in the gaming space where you would get

like a gaming backpack or something with ROG. To have it on a ProArt side with something

that sort of like matches the aesthetic is a cool idea. So the ProArt customer now gets something

like the gamer treatment by getting the backpack included, which is cool

All right, so here is the big boy ProArt ProD. device so this is going to come down to portability versus screen size and resolution

since we have the bigger display to start with in the 16 inch we now have speakers that are right

on the deck six surround speakers to enhance the audio experience not just for entertainment but

also for communication this just looks very smooth and sleek the display traditional laptop display So it not doing any kind of funky twisting around but that wouldn really make sense for a 16 inch laptop anyways over here we have

power full-size hdmi thunderbolt usb-a og audio and then over on the other side full-size

sd card slot useful another usb-a and then type c connector there as well and once again included

inside my retail pack, the Pen 2.0. So we're talking about a touchscreen still

even though this one doesn't flip all the way around, we can reach up, touch the display

and obviously draw on it as well. So you go ahead and let me know down in the comments

which of these devices is the most compelling to you? Do you like the traditional laptop format in the P16

with just a big, bright 4K display? Would you gravitate towards the scale

kind of as a desktop replacement. Of course, you could feed this out to an external monitor

but obviously you give up a little bit of portability. Or what about the in-between

This convertible right here, kind of like a laptop, but also giving you some of that tablet functionality

by flipping all the way around or even going into tent mode for media consumption

or possibly for collaborating during a meeting. In this case, you're still having that 115 watt TDP

You're still having RTX 4070. So even though this is scaled down and lighter, you're able to still do those intensive tasks and do some gaming if you choose to

Or would you go for the most convertible of the bunch? And in this case, be one of the first to purchase these new Snapdragon chips running Windows

So over here, obviously, we have the versatility of this stand, which can stop at basically any point

We've got our pen input, but that's the case across the board. And then we have our removable stand

so we can just take that off and have something even lighter

And what's cool about their case design is the second piece can stay on and give you a little bit more versatility with just the tablet

So now I have a kickstand, but I also have a little bit of protection on the back

and a place to put my pen, even if I don't want to carry the keyboard

So anyway, let me know in the comments which of these three you would select and why
