Our Verdict
ASUS ProArt P16 H7606 (2024)
Apple MacBook Pro 16 (M4, 2024)
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.
