Asus isn’t a stranger to introducing new technologies or making them available to more people. Consider OLED displays, where Asus has been a leader in pushing its brilliant colors and inky black to laptops under $1,000. So, now that AMD has introduced its latest and perhaps most important laptop chipset, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, it’s unsurprising that the Asus ProArt PX13 is one of the first machines to equip it.
The Ryzen AI 300 lineup introduces not just a faster CPU and integrated GPU with great efficiency, but also one of the fastest neural processing units (NPUs) on a laptop today. It’s no coincidence that “AI” is in the chipset’s branding. The ProArt PX13 leverages it for fast performance and reasonably long battery life, in a highly portable 13-inch laptop package.
Specs and configurations
| Asus ProArt PX13 |
Asus offers just two configurations of the ProArt PX13. My review unit is $1,700 with the Ryzen AI 9 chipset, 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, an RTX 4050 GPU, and a 13.3-inch 3K OLED display. For $2,000, you get the same configuration with an RTX 4060 GPU. There is no RTX 4070 configuration, which is offered in the ROG Flow X13.
