What’s the new word of the day, kids? It is “ceraalumino”, a truly absurd nomenclature that combines ceramic and aluminum. That’s the new word to describe the next-generation Asus Zenbook S16 equipped with new AMD Ryzen 300 AI CPUs. But let’s ignore this for a second because some much more interesting ProArt PCs are heading down the path of more stealing. the best designs from the Asus ROG gaming line.
Why are all cats so similar to each other and dogs not?
Gizmodo had the chance to check out some of Asus’ upcoming laptops. Still, while we weren’t overly impressed with the silly material nomenclature, we were drawn to the ProArts’ wide range, which could be an ideal device for everything from work to design to gaming.
The strange wording is one thing, but looking at the new ProArts compared to the other new Asus laptops, it seems that the proArts kitchen sink attitude is the real push for this year’s laptop launch. They’re packing tried and tested hardware into a single package that runs on AMD’s nascent and untested AI-focused central processor. Based on a brief period of familiarization with laptop and touchscreen models, I’m very curious how Asus has managed to take the best things from its gaming and productivity lines and put them all into a new line of Copilot+ devices.
What does the new ProArt line look like?
The ProArt P16 entry-level laptop is backed by a new chassis ripped wholesale from the ROG Zephyrus G16. Why is that important? It’s lighter and thinner than the older ProArt Studiobooks, and it makes use of the material we already really liked for the material and design of the ROG Zephyrus G14.
Unfortunately, it won’t have the same 240Hz OLED display, but rather a 60Hz 4K display. It doesn’t have ROG-specific technology. Lighting cut like the Zephyrus, although it will offer up to an Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070 discrete laptop GPU as well as the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU. There’s basically only one configuration and it’s quite expensive at $2,700. Still, that’s it available to preorder.If the ProArt 16 feels good but still relatively familiar, the new ProArt PX13 and PZ13 are much more different. The PX13 is a 2-in-1 based on the same design as another older gaming product, the ROG Flow X13. It’s a 2.8K OLED display with HDR support plus a GeForce RTX 4060 GPU. The 2-in-1 will cost $2,000 upfront, though it should also be available soon and now at make an order
.That PZ13 is especially interesting in light of the Microsoft Surface Pro
. Like Microsoft’s convertible, this platform runs on the Snapdragon Apple iPad Pro M4.It comes with a removable stand that attaches magnetically to the back of the PC, while the keyboard attaches towards the bottom of the tablet portion. The keys feel pretty good, although they’re still thinner than you’re probably used to if you haven’t used products like the Magic Keyboard. but it’s still a relatively lightweight and versatile Windows-based tablet with a 13-inch 3K OLED touchscreen. Even better is the number of ports available. It has two USB-C ports and a full SD card reader. Unlike its two brothers, we will have to wait until the third quarter of this year to see the PZ13 in action.
How does ‘ceraluminium’ feel?
Now that the lineup is split between x86-based Ryzen and ARM-based Snapdragon CPUs, we’ll see who really comes out on top in both performance and power. All the other PCs coming this year from Asus’ lineup are divided similarly. That Zenbook S16 As we already mentioned, the Ryzen Ai 9 HX 370 is included, as well as the 120 Hz 3K OLED “Ceraluminium” touch screen. It feels quite nice to the touch. It feels ceramic-like, smooth but not plastic, and still feels quite lightweight. the general appearance of the backplate and the whitish color.
Asus made a lot of noise with its new material and cool vent design, but the performance of these ultralight laptops matters. some of the new Copilot+ features, but none of them really seemed designed to emphasize the capabilities of these laptops.
We’re starting to see the full scope of the new “Copilot+” PC version. These are devices that have
a UNP
capable of supporting 40 TOPS (trillion operations per second) to handle a certain amount of AI on the device. All that means right now is that there are some new features like Remember and the Procreate AI art generator in Microsoft Paint. For now, it’s best to ignore the whole discussion about neural processing power, as long as there isn’t any great app that makes it worthwhile. The ProArts feel very exciting because they look and feel like they are absorbing the best parts of Asus’ current design, the ceraluminum. ” not required. and Procreate AI art generator on Microsoft Paint. For now, it’s best to ignore the whole discussion about neural processing power so long as there’s no killer app that makes it worth it.
The ProArts feel extra exciting because they look and feel like they’re taking in the best parts of Asus’ current design slate, “ceraluminum” not required.
