#expensive laptop for creators

Overall, for I/O ASUS clearly understands the needs of creators, but I still wish it had an RJ45 (but maybe I'm just old-fashioned.) So, we'll still need a dongle for wired connections. And of course, just like most modern high-end ASUS laptops, there’s Dolby Access on here to tune the EQ or select preset profiles for Dolby Atmos. The laptop also features a dedicated CoPilot key, because it is a CoPilot+ PC (more on that later.) The glass trackpad is large and responsive, offering precise control for users who prefer working without a mouse.   Performance and Benchmarks The 2026 ProArt P16 is equipped with an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX370 processor paired with an AMD Radeon 890M iGPU and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop dGPU (16GB GDDR7). Out of the box it's configured with fast 64GB LPDDR5X memory (which is soldered) and a 2TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD (with an extra M.2 slot for adding storage.) On paper alone, this already positions it as a serious contender in the creator laptop space. It's also worth noting that this happens after I put the laptop to sleep with the charger plugged-in (I sometimes unplug after putting it to sleep.) In these instances, games like Tekken 8 would run as if the system was still in a lower power mode even after reconnecting to charger and switching performance profiles.
