Hey everyone! Just got my hands on the ASUS ProArt PA13-inch, and it’s been a ride full of highs and a few baffling lows. Let’s dive into what makes this hybrid tick and where it might leave you scratching your head. Design, Build, and Display Starting with the good stuff—the build quality is top-notch with a solid aluminum housing that feels like it could survive a few bumps. But switching to tablet mode, it’s bulky, and those thick bezels throw me back to 2017. The kickstand is super sturdy and has a rugged military green design that seems out of place for a device named “ProArt.” Seriously, it looks like it’s made for a war zone, not an art studio. And why is there a pen loop when there’s no pen included? Missed the mark there, ASUS. The OLED display, however, is where the ProArt shines. Text is crisp, colors pop beautifully, and videos look fantastic, though I wish it was brighter for those sunny days out or bright cafes. Performance and Usability Performance-wise, the Snapdragon processor handles Windows 11 smoothly, making multitasking a breeze, especially when I plug into a monitor. The integration with Copilot and other professional tools is seamless, boosting productivity without a hitch. But let’s talk about the keyboard—it’s a letdown. On uneven surfaces, it bounces around, and it lacks the ability to tilt, which feels like a basic expectation missed. Gaming is not its forte, but cloud gaming on Xbox ran decently, aside from some blurriness. The cameras and audio are just okay—the front camera angle makes for some unflattering chin shots, and the speakers, while loud, lack depth. For serious sessions, I definitely recommend headphones. Battery Life and Overall Thoughts Battery life is decent enough unless you’re cranking up the brightness to max, which you’ll need to because the screen isn’t the brightest. It charges via USB-C, which is convenient since it matches most of my other devices. So, who is this for? Despite its name, the ProArt seems confused about its audience. It feels like it’s caught between being a rugged field device and a creator’s main gadget. The fantastic screen and solid performance are there, but the design quirks and accessory choices might put off the creative pros it’s supposed to attract. In summary, the ASUS ProArt PA13-inch is great for those who prioritize display quality and software integration but don’t mind a few compromises in design and ergonomics. It’s a mixed bag, but it has its charms, especially for users who can look past its identity crisis.
