But really - how important is an additional dimension to the experience?įrom a skeptic’s point of view, I view this very much like when I saw Avatar for the first time in the cinema.

Nobody is questioning that the tech to make this work in the Studiobook 16 3D OLED is nifty. This debate starts to sound a little similar to the one we had around 3D TVs nearly a decade ago. It’s good Asus has thought of 3D as an optional extra, because the more you question it, the more it starts to not sound so worthwhile. If you want all this power, but don’t feel the need to get a 3D panel, you can swap this for a touchscreen 2D OLED screen with the same resolution and refresh rate. Plus, with two Thunderbolt 4 and a full-size SD card slot, transferring high capacity files is a cinch.

It should come as no surprise that the ProArt Studiobook 16 OLED hits the bullseye with a 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13980HX processor, RTX 4070 GPU, up to 64GB DDR5 RAM and 8TB of PCIe Gen 4 storage - all of which is kept cool with Asus’ patented IceCool Pro thermal management.Īs for actually getting stuff done, you’ve got a huge stylus-compatible haptic touchpad, that same full-size chiclet keyboard with number pad, and the Asus Dial for precise control in certain apps. But while the 3D OLED panel is the big selling point of all Asus’ promotional efforts, any portable workstation has to be a power-packed workhorse.
