First unveiled at CES, ASUS's ProArt creator laptop has been officially released for Australians. I still find it an interesting collaboration for a pretty niche audience, but the specs and details seem to indicate that ASUS thinks this is going to sell very well.
The laptop marks a significant tie-up between ASUS and GoPro, aiming to streamline the workflow for creators who spend more time in the dirt than in a studio. The device features a dedicated GoPro hotkey and direct cloud integration via the StoryCube app to automate content organisation.
The chassis is finished in a unique black metal that mirrors the rugged look of an action camera. It arrives in collector-style packaging with customisable foam, allowing you to repurpose the box to house your GoPro cameras and accessories.
Built for the Australian bush
The PX13 is engineered to handle harsh environments, carrying a MIL-STD-810H certification for durability against dust, vibration, and extreme temperatures. It weighs 1.39kg and measures 15.8mm thin, making it a portable option for those hiking into remote locations.
The 13.3-inch 3K Lumina OLED touchscreen is factory-calibrated for colour accuracy and uses a 16:10 aspect ratio. This provides more vertical space for video editing timelines while using the 360-degree hinge to flip the device into tablet or tent modes.
Under the hood, the laptop runs the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor, which includes a 50 TOPS NPU for local AI tasks. This is paired with up to 128GB of LPDDR5X memory, allowing for heavy 360-degree video editing without needing to be connected to the internet.
"We've combined ASUS' cutting-edge AI and engineering prowess with GoPro's legacy of adventure to deliver a device that truly understands and meets the demands of those who capture and create in Australia's diverse and challenging environments," said Bradley Howe, Head of Consumer at ASUS Australia.
