“An astonishingly good laptop that's also a pricey Mac anti-dote.”

Pros

AMD chip is a powerhouse

Utterly generous RAM situation

Pixel-dense OLED screen

Pleasantly light and compact

Pretty rugged and convertible

Decent port selection

Cons

60Hz refresh rate is a sin

Fans get loud under stress

Battery drains rather fast

Display could've been brighter

Oh-so-expensive

Quick Take

Engineering a compact laptop without too many functional compromises is hard. Making one that is targeted at content creation is harder. How do you balance firepower inside a small chassis? What about the battery uptake and thermals? And how do you make it appealing to the audience when there are plenty of options in the market, including the venerable MacBooks? Well, you go all-in.

With the ProArt PX13, Asus went all-in and delivered a banger.

Now, ideally, you shouldn’t care too much about a co-branded laptop.…
