During its Always Incredible virtual event at Computex 2024, ASUS has ushered in a new era of Copilot+ PCs with the launch of new models across its ProArt, Zenbook and Vivobook portfolios.
ASUS ProArt
For creators, the three new ASUS ProArt laptops combine portability and power, with three form factors designed to empower creativity in any environment or setting.
The flagship 16-inch ProArt P16 laptop features a premium black chassis that’s just 14.9mm thin and 1.85kg light. Powered by a 50 TOPS NPU integrated into the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU that can deliver up to 321 TOPS, it becomes the first AI PC of its kind built for advanced AI workflows across creativity, gaming, productivity and more.
Its GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU provides creatives with RTX AI acceleration in top 2D, 3D, video editing and streaming apps. RTX GPUs breeze through video editing tasks 2.5x faster with DaVinci Resolve. Adobe Premiere Pro’s AI Speech Enhance runs 4.5x faster. 3D is accelerated by as much as 6x in Autodesk Arnold. There’s also access to exclusive NVIDIA AI software like NVIDIA Broadcast, RTX Video and the ChatRTX tech demo.
For increased portability, the 1.38kg 13-inch ProArt PX13 convertible laptop incorporates a 360-degree hinge for seamless flipping between laptop, tent, stand or tablet modes. Its high-resolution 3K ASUS Lumina OLED display ensures lifelike visuals. Powered by up to an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, ProArt PX13 is an NVIDIA Studio-validated laptop, with up to a GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU that delivers over 300 TOPS for an advanced AI PC experience.
Along with ultrafast Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, there are extensive I/O ports including twin 40Gbps USB4 for fast charging and external displays, HDMI 2.1 FRL, and a UHS-II MicroSD card reader.
Rounding out the ProArt line-up is the ProArt PZ13 detachable laptop, offering dual functionality as a tablet or a laptop with a magnetically attached full-size detachable keyboard. Weighing just 0.85kg, this device offers AI-enabled Snapdragon X Series processor, 3K ASUS Lumina OLED screen and Copilot+ PC AI capabilities. Other key features include a 70Wh battery, IP52-rated durability for dust and water resistance, and an SD slot with a microSD adapter.
The ProArt devices deliver a dedicated Copilot key and creative tools including the ASUS DialPad, the ProArt Creator Hub control centre and new AI-powered StoryCube and MuseTree apps. StoryCube is a smart digital asset management tool with AI assistance for scene categorisation and clip generation. MuseTree allows users to generate creativity through simple graphical interactions, while intelligently storing and managing ideas.
All ProArt laptops include a free three-month Adobe Creative Suite subscription and a free six-month CapCut Pro subscription.
ASUS Zenbook
The premium ASUS Zenbook S 16 is a sleek and lightweight laptop, measuring 1.1cm slim and weighing 1.5kg. It can deliver up to 28W TDP and 50 TOPS from the NPU in its AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, aided by an advanced 3D vapour-chamber cooling system capable of under 25dB cooling.
The all-metal chassis features an outer lid made of Ceraluminum, ASUS’ exclusive new material that blends the aesthetics of ceramic with the strength of aluminium. Equipped with a 78Wh battery and full array of I/O ports including two USB4, USB 3.2 Type-A, HDMI, an audio jack, and an SD card reader.
The 16-inch 3K 16:10 panel certified by TÜV comes with a 120Hz refresh rate, NanoEdge bezels, and a 90% screen-to-body ratio.

ASUS Vivobook
The new ASUS Vivobook S 15 (S5507), unveiled at a recent event in Sydney, became the company’s first Copilot+ PC, supported by the AI-enabled Snapdragon X Elite Platform.

New Windows AI features, such as Recall and Cocreator in Paint, will be coming to ASUS Vivobook S 15 on June 18, with other models receiving a free update to Copilot+ PC experiences when available.
