The Asus ProArt PZ13 is a tablet/laptop hybrid with a brilliant 3K OLED display and a surprisingly resilient battery.
Not too long ago, I tested out Microsoft’s Surface Pro 11, a laptop that doubles as a tablet. It has Qualcomm’s next-gen chipset and a lot of great features that made me enjoy the machine, and I highly recommend it to business professionals who travel a lot. It seems Asus must’ve seen the Surface Pro and thought to itself, “we can do better,” the result of this inspiration being the Asus ProArt PZ13.
I mentioned the Surface Pro 11 because the two share many similarities, although the ProArt model is better suited for artists and creative professionals.
Upon lifting the laptop out of its box for the first time, you’ll be greeted with a 13.3-inch, 3K (2880 x 1800 pixels) OLED touchscreen. Its resolution isn’t as high as Microsoft’s laptop, although the ProArt PZ13 more than makes up for this with image-enhancing apps.
It has Dolby Vision, support for the entire DCI-P3 color gamut, and VESA DisplayHDR True Black for ultra-dark shadows. Everything works together to ensure a stunning visual experience, except for the 60Hz refresh rate. That’s a fine speed, but I would’ve liked to have 120Hz. At 60Hz, motion and animations on this laptop can look a little blurry.
The device has a really neat feature called Creator Hub. It’s a dashboard app that lets you adjust the PZ13 on the fly. The most impressive of its many tools is Color Control, which lets you change the on-screen color gamut at any time. For example, the DCI-P3 option tweaks the colors so they’re best suited for movies while Display P3 is recommended for artists as it more accurately displays hues. You can even adjust the color temperature.
Creator Hub gives creative professionals a great amount of flexibility. Although I’m not an artist myself, I certainly appreciate having the ability to fine-tune my experience instantly.
