| ASUS brings OLED displays to its mobile devices |
Asus has unveiled a handful of new laptops with content makers in mind.
Designers and illustrators who have used ScreenPad in every laptop for the past few years have found the expansion and functionality of the latest release attractive.
The company announced the launch of the ProArt StudioBook 16 OLED and ProArt StudioBook 16 Pro OLED, the first two 16-inch laptops to feature 4K OLED HDR displays.
According to the company, these displays cover 100% of the DCI-P3 color space and offer a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1 (which is not uncommon with 4K OLED panels).
Notebooks are for professional content creators working on color-sensitive apps.
Both devices come with a new one called the Asus Dial, which is a physical scroll wheel on the left side of the keyboard.
User can adjust many parameters in Adobe application by customizing this controller. That includes ASUS After Effects, Photoshop, Photoshop Lightroom Classic, and Premiere Pro.
ProArt StudioBook 16 OLED and ProArt StudioBook 16 Pro OLED will start at $1,999 and $2,499, respectively, in Q4.
Perhaps the difference between the two models is in the slide. The ProArt StudioBook 16 Pro OLED can be equipped with an AMD Ryzen 5000 H-series mobile processor or an Intel Xeon processor and an Nvidia RTX A2000 or Nvidia RTX A5000 GPU.
The ProArt StudioBook 16 OLED is equipped with a Ryzen 5000H or Intel Core i7 chip and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 or Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 GPU.
