The Asus ProArt GoPro Edition PX13 stands out as a top Windows laptop for creative professionals, featuring a powerful AMD processor and long battery life. Co-branded with GoPro, it includes specialized features for action camera users but comes at a premium price of $3,000. Reviewers praise its capabilities while noting some limitations compared to Apple's offerings.
Asus has introduced the ProArt GoPro Edition PX13, a 13-inch convertible laptop designed for video editors and creative pros. This model, co-branded with GoPro, incorporates styling reminiscent of the GoPro Hero 13, including a ribbed metal back, ridges on the hinge, and dedicated branding. It also features a GoPro hotkey for quick access to GoPro Player software and includes 12 months of GoPro Cloud Plus Premium subscription. The laptop meets MIL-STD 810H standards for durability, capable of withstanding vibrations up to 500Hz and drops from four inches while operational. Weighing 3.06 pounds, it ships with a protective padded sleeve and a 200W power brick.
At its core is the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor with 16 Zen 5 cores, integrated Radeon 8060S graphics boasting 40 compute units, and up to 50 NPU TOPS for AI tasks. It includes 128GB of unified LPDDR5X memory, 1TB NVMe SSD storage with PCIe 4.0 speeds of 6.55 GB/s read and 5.86 GB/s write, and a 2,880 x 1,800 OLED touchscreen supporting Dolby Vision with 100 percent DCI-P3 color coverage and Delta E under 1 accuracy. The display reaches 400 nits brightness, or 500 nits in HDR mode, and pairs with an included Asus Pen for sketching in tablet mode.
Performance shines in creative applications like DaVinci Resolve 20, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Photoshop, enabling real-time color correction and 4K H.264 exports. Benchmarks include Geekbench 6 scores of 2,219 single-core and 19,088 multi-core for the CPU, and 93,108 for the GPU. In gaming, it achieves 82 fps at 1080p Ultra in Cyberpunk 2077. Battery life lasts 11 hours and 31 minutes on the PCMark 10 Modern Office test, surpassing many rivals. However, fans grow loud under heavy loads, and video encoding trails some MacBook M4 models. Ports comprise HDMI, 3.5mm audio, USB-A 3.2, two USB-C 4.0, and a microSD slot. Wireless options include Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, with Dolby Atmos audio support.
Priced at $3,000 for the 128GB version—$2,800 for 64GB—it competes with high-end MacBook Pro models but offers touchscreen and pen support absent in Apple's lineup. While it excels as a Windows creator machine, it lags in overall performance and usability against macOS counterparts.
