Asus isn’t just tweaking the ProArt P16, it’s overhauling it. The latest refresh adds serious muscle with GPU options that climb all the way to the GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop, plus a new 4K tandem OLED panel that sharply boosts brightness. This creator laptop now looks ready to challenge both the Zephyrus G16 and Apple’s M4-powered MacBook Pro 16.
ProArt P16 levels up with RTX 5090 and more VRAM
The previous ProArt P16, powered by the RTX 5070 Laptop, was a solid performer, but lacked bite for users pushing 3D work and heavy video timelines. Asus clearly took notes. The new model now includes the blazing-fast RTX 5090 Laptop GPU with 24 GB of VRAM, paired with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. It’s a clear shot at professionals who need brute strength without lugging a workstation.
The upgraded version uses a revised vapor chamber cooling setup, echoing what we’ve seen in the Zephyrus G16. That makes the chassis slightly thicker and heavier, but it pays off in thermal headroom. The GPU is allowed to stretch its legs with up to 120W of TGP. Asus tops the memory support at 64 GB, enough for even aggressive multitaskers.
LG UltraGear OLED 27GX700A gaming monitor lands in the US with 280 Hz refresh and 1,500 nits HDR brightness, priced at $849.
Display gets serious HDR firepower
The screen is where this machine really pulls ahead. Asus replaces the older 2.8K panel with a new 4K tandem OLED display that’s not just sharper, it’s visibly brighter. HDR performance, a common weak point in competing laptops, now looks vivid even in daylight.
Side-by-side with the Zephyrus G16, the difference is obvious.
Key upgrades in the new ProArt P16:
- GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop with 24 GB VRAM
- Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU
- 4K 120 Hz tandem OLED panel
- Improved vapor chamber cooling
- Up to 64 GB RAM
Is this the creator laptop to beat?
This refreshed model might end up eclipsing the Zephyrus G16. With better display specs, more VRAM, and creator-focused tuning, it’s not just a rival to gaming machines; it’s gunning for Apple’s M4 MacBook Pro lineup too.
October will reveal how well it all performs, but right now? The ProArt P16 looks locked and loaded.
