These devices are now available in Canada through the ASUS Store, with the ProArt PX13 also offered at Best Buy. The launch represents a significant collaboration between ASUS and GoPro, targeting professionals who require high-performance, portable tools for demanding creative workflows.
Key Features and Design Innovations
The ProArt GoPro Edition stands out with its exclusive Nano Black finish and matching protective sleeve, packaged in a premium collector-style box. This design merges rugged aesthetics with portability, making it ideal for creators on the move. The device features a 360° any-position hinge, allowing for versatile use in various environments, from studios to outdoor settings. With a thickness of just 15.8mm and a weight of 1.39kg, it combines lightness with durability, tested to the military-grade MIL-STD-810H standard.
Both models include a 13-inch 3K ASUS Lumina OLED touchscreen that supports a stylus and ASUS DialPad, enhancing precision for creative tasks. The display offers vibrant colors and sharp details, crucial for editing high-resolution action footage and other multimedia projects.
AI-Powered Performance and GoPro Integration
At the heart of these laptops is the AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395 platform, which delivers up to 128GB of unified memory and pro-grade graphics. This setup provides real-time, AI-accelerated processing power, enabling tasks such as generative video creation, AI applications, and editing of high-resolution content without slowdowns. The integration of a 50 TOPS NPU ensures efficient handling of complex workflows.
A standout feature is the StoryCube app, the first Windows application with built-in GoPro Cloud access and 360° video support. This app facilitates seamless GoPro workflows by enabling automated syncing and AI-powered sorting of files, streamlining the creative process for users who rely on GoPro equipment. Additionally, a dedicated GoPro Hotkey enhances accessibility and efficiency for quick operations.
Target Audience and Market Impact
These laptops are tailored for creators who need professional-grade performance in a compact, field-ready form factor. The collaboration with GoPro emphasizes a focus on mobility and ruggedness, appealing to professionals in fields like videography, photography, and design. By combining AI technology with convertible designs, ASUS aims to extend the ProArt legacy into the next phase of mobile, AI-assisted creativity.
The availability of these models in Canada marks a strategic move to cater to the growing demand for high-end creative tools in the market.
