ASUS ProArt 13.3" PX13 Nano Black 2024
78 out of 100 medium confidence 13 reviews
The ASUS ProArt PX13 is a powerful and portable creative laptop with a stunning OLED display and strong performance for design, video editing, and multitasking. Users praise its build quality, compact size, and the innovative ASUS Dial for creative apps. However, common complaints include mediocre battery life (5-6 hours), a single M.2 slot limiting storage expansion, and frustrating keyboard layout issues like the missing right Ctrl key replaced by a CoPilot key. Standby and hibernate problems also detract from the experience, especially for travelers.
