The ASUS ProArt P16 H7606 (2024) is a 16-inch Windows creator laptop. It has a 4k+ OLED display with touch and pen input and is only available with an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU. You can configure it with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 or 4070 Laptop GPU, both running at a TGP (Total Graphics Power) of 105W. Memory and storage max out at 64GB and 2TB, respectively. Ports comprise of two USB-As, two USB-Cs (one supporting USB4 data transfer speed of up to 40Gbps), an HDMI 2.1, a full-size SD card reader, and a headphone jack. This model features a touch-sensitive (integrated into the touchpad) version of the ASUS dial found on the ASUS ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 OLED (2021), allowing you to quickly navigate the timeline when editing videos, zooming in and out of images, and changing tools, etc.

Our Verdict
The ASUS ProArt P16 is okay for general productivity. It has a sharp 16-inch screen that's well-suited for multitasking, a tactile keyboard, and a large, responsive touchpad, allowing you to work comfortably. You get plenty of ports for peripherals and external displays, as well as a good 1080p webcam with Windows Hello facial recognition for quick logins. Its CPU and discrete GPU can easily handle general productivity tasks like text processing and spreadsheets, as well as more demanding workloads like video editing. The laptop is relatively compact for a 16-inch device, but due to its short battery life, you'll likely need to bring the charger with you. Lastly, the OLED display flickers, which might bother some people, causing eye strain.
Fairly portable for a 16-inch device.
Sharp 16-inch display.
Comfortable keyboard, responsive touchpad.
Wide port selection.
Good 1080p webcam.
Short battery life.
Display's glossy finish struggles with bright reflections.
OLED flicker may cause eye strain.
The ASUS ProArt P16 is very good for media consumption. It sports a sharp, colorful 16-inch OLED display that delivers an amazing viewing experience, as well as speakers that sound full and well-balanced. The display's glossy finish struggles with bright reflections, so visibility may be an issue if lights shine directly on the screen. Also, keep in mind that the OLED flickers, which might bother some people, and can cause eye strain. This laptop is pretty portable for a 16-inch device, but because its battery lasts only four to five hours of video playback, you'll likely need to bring the charger when you're out and about.

The ASUS ProArt P16 isn't designed for gaming, but it can deliver an alright gaming experience, as it has the processing power to push high, consistent frame rates in all but the most demanding AAA titles. The main downside is its display, which has a 60Hz refresh rate and a fairly slow response time, resulting in a blurry image with noticeable ghosting in fast-moving scenes. While thermal throttling is minimal, this laptop does get hot and loud under load.
CPU and discrete GPU can handle demanding workloads.
Wide port selection.
Two M.2 2280 SSD slots for increased storage capacity.
60Hz display with slow response time.
No VRR support to reduce screen tearing.
Gets hot and loud under load.
OLED flicker may cause eye strain.
Although the ASUS ProArt P16 is primarily a creator laptop, it can also be a very good workstation, as it has ample processing power to handle demanding tasks. That said, you can only get up to 64GB of soldered memory, which might not be enough for tasks with extremely large datasets, and the NVIDIA GeForce GPUs aren't optimal for some professional workloads. This laptop has an excellent, 100% DCI-P3 display for color-critical work, as well as a programmable capacitive dial that can help improve your workflow, allowing you to easily navigate the timeline and change tools when editing photos and videos. You also get two SSD slots for increased storage capacity and a wide port selection with multiple USB ports, an HDMI 2.1, and a full-size SD card reader.

Popular Laptop Comparisons
The ASUS ProArt P16 is an excellent creator laptop and a viable alternative to premium models like the Apple MacBook Pro 16 (2024), the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 (2024), and the Dell XPS 16 (2024). While it isn't industry-leading in raw performance, it still provides plenty of processing power to handle most creators' workloads. What makes it stand out from the crowd is its touch-sensitive 'dial,' which sits at the top left corner of the touchpad. This dial can help streamline your workflow, as it lets you quickly access various tools, settings, and functions. Unfortunately, its battery life is quite bad, especially when compared to the likes of the MacBook Pro 16. Though well suited for content creation, its 60Hz display is also rather disappointing, as most competing models like the aforementioned MacBook Pro 16, Yoga 9i, and XPS 16 have high-refresh panels.

The ASUS ProArt P16 H7606 (2024) and the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 (2024) are both premium creator laptops that provide a similar user experience overall. The ASUS has better CPU performance, and it has a programmable capacitive dial that can streamline your workflow, allowing you to quickly access various tools and functions when editing photos and videos. However, the Lenovo has more display options—its displays aren't as sharp as the ASUS' OLED panel, but they have a higher refresh rate, which is a bonus if you plan on playing games. Also, unlike the ASUS, the Lenovo's displays are IPS or Mini LED panels, which are flicker-free and immune to permanent burn-in.
The Apple MacBook Pro 16 (M4, 2024) is better than the ASUS ProArt P16 H7606 (2024) for most uses. You can get more processing power out of the MacBook Pro if you get a higher-end configuration with an M4 Max SoC, and you can configure it with up to 128GB of RAM for extremely intensive tasks with large datasets, whereas the ProArt maxes out at 64GB. The MacBook Pro also has a much longer battery life, an easier-to-use haptic touchpad, and a superior webcam. The ProArt's OLED display looks sharper, but it doesn't get nearly as bright as the MacBook Pro's Mini LED panel, especially in HDR, and it also flickers, which might bother some people. What makes the ProArt a compelling option is its capacitive dial, which you can program to access various functions, helping you streamline your workflow. Another advantage of the ProArt is its user-replaceable storage drive.
The ASUS ProArt P16 H7606 (2024) and the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) GU605 are very similar, even though the former is a creator laptop, while the latter is primarily a gaming laptop. The ProArt has more CPU processing power, and it's configurable with up to 64GB of RAM, whereas the Zephyrus maxes out at 32GB. On the other hand, the Zephyrus has more powerful GPU configurations, up to an RTX 4090. Another difference is the display; the ProArt has a sharper 4k+ 60Hz display, while the Zephyrus has a QHD+ 240Hz panel (IPS or OLED).
The ASUS ProArt P16 H7606 (2024) is better than the Dell XPS 16 (2024) for most uses. The ASUS provides a better user experience; this is mainly because the Dell's zero-lattice keyboard, capacitive function row, and invisible touchpad can take some time to get used, and even then, you might get more typos, as there's no space between the keys. You also get better performance on the ASUS, as its AMD Ryzen CPU outperforms the Dell's Intel Meteor Lake CPU, and its NVIDIA GPUs run at a higher wattage.
