The ASUS ProArt GoPro Edition PX13 is presented as a super-portable workstation designed for content creators and power users. It is powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, a 32-threaded chip that provides power for both everyday tasks and heavy-duty work like video editing or 3D rendering. This chip features a 50 TOPS NPU, which is beneficial for serious AI workloads.
The laptop is equipped with the Radeon 8060S iGPU, which the review notes can compete with mid-range dedicated graphics cards. The performance of the machine is further supported by up to 128 GB of integrated unified memory, which helps manage system latency, and a high-speed iGPU that unexpectedly performs well. The display is a 13.3-inch OLED touchscreen with a 2880×1880 resolution, offering near-perfect color accuracy and good brightness in SDR and HDR modes. While the refresh rate is 60 Hz, the OLED panel’s outstanding pixel response time contributes to a smooth viewing experience.
The machine’s connectivity is robust for its size, featuring two full-function 40 Gbps USB4 ports, a dedicated Type-A port, a full-size HDMI port, and a card reader, eliminating the need to sacrifice a Type-C port for charging. The build quality is described as top-tier, utilizing a sturdy metal chassis with a clean design and a durable Nano Black coating.
In terms of performance, the 16-core AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 demonstrates strong capability, achieving 1816 points in the Cinebench 2024 Multi-core test. The integrated Radeon 8060S iGPU shows potent graphics performance, achieving 61 FPS in Stalker 2 at 1080p in Manual mode, which the review suggests is comparable to the RTX 5050.
For creative professionals, the ASUS ProArt GoPro Edition offers specialized features through the StoryCube app, allowing direct syncing of GoPro clips from the cloud at full quality. The integrated AI feature automatically organizes videos by categories or location and can even auto-generate highlight reels. The package includes a free 12-month GoPro Premium+ subscription and three months of Adobe Creative Cloud, making it a comprehensive creative ecosystem.
Functionally, the laptop boasts a backlit keyboard and a large, precise touchpad, supplemented by a DialPad feature useful for Adobe applications. In terms of cooling, the laptop maintains cool surface temperatures—the keyboard and screen remain at reasonable temperatures—even when running intensive tasks like rendering or gaming, although the exhausts get hot.
Battery life remains solid, providing seven hours of 4K video playback, though the review advises using Whisper mode when away from charging.
The pricing structure notes that the ASUS ProArt GoPro Edition PX13 costs US$3,000, with the standard PX13 package available for $200 less if the specialized GoPro accessories are not required. The overall impression is that the device successfully blends high performance, portability, and specialized creative tools into a single machine.
