I'm a printshop owner and a graphic artist by trade. I purchased a 17in ProArt laptop in early 2020. I loved it, but it was getting a but worn out for my needs. I have this ProArt Pro for a little more than a month now and I'm totally in love! It's so fast photoshop opens in 10 seconds, 15 if I'm running 7 other programs at the same time.I took a little getting used to. At first I was really missing the inch more space. The screen is shockingly high res and can be too bright if not reined in. The touch pad is HUGE and the dial was new to me and a little weird.Well, it turns out that all but the size difference is a great asset. That huge touchpad with the included touch pen is awesome. Add in the dial and my photo retouching task is a breeze. Being able to touch the screen to pull the zoomed it art while holding onto the pen make detailed task very easy.It's a power house too! It has the option to be in standard mode, performance mode, and full speed mode. I've popped it into full speed and written multi gig files in seconds.It charges with my old chargers. Runs for hours unless I'm pushing it, and it's built like a tank.It's heavy and comes hoe with me in a rolling briefcase. I wouldn't want to take this on public transportation every night but I've flown with it and it's fine. Some of the keys are a little weirdly placed like the delete key.It's a great display and it easily runs another 4k monitor. Full speed mode seem unstoppable. It's crazy expensive but I don't know of any other machine that does what I do so well.I wish it was an inch bigger, the screen was less glossy and that there was a dedicated key to toggle through the power modes. I wish there was bigger proart monitor options to pair this with. I purchased a 27in 1440p proart monitor and it can't really compare with the laptop screen at all.I'd buy it again. I can't imagine working without it.PS the bag it comes with is a waste. I wish it came with a sleeve instead.

great hardware, however it presently ships with windows 11 and copilot installed whether you like it or not. I called asking about windows 10 and their support said no, the laptop needs features in windows 11 s they won't send me 10 - well that is complete BS...while I was forced to log into MSFT account (which also pissed me off), I immediately went to download windows 10 and was finally pleasantly surprised with how smooth it went from there - the license automatically transferred, AI is gone, and I am not forced to log into a MSFT to use my own hardware. ASUS please better educate your Tier 1 Support.

Colors that look like 3D out of the box. It has a outlet for a HDMI® 2.1 FRL for external monitor (with lid down) and two Thunderbolt™ 4 USB-C ports. At 16" is great for its 3200 by 2000 high resolution. Super fast for photo editing with todays even faster programs it will keep up and has kept up with Lrc, PS, On1 Photo Raw etc... You learn more and more every time you need something like music sounds great on speakers.
