FULL STORY
======================================================================

Taking to the virtual stage during the annual Computex expo, Asus unveiled a 
series of new high-performance ProArt laptops, including the ultracompact and 
ultraportable ProArt PZ13 model. 

Positioned as a versatile tool for hybrid and on-the-go creatives, the 
13-inch model features a detachable keyboard, allowing it to fully transform 
into a powerful AI-enhanced tablet. 

Like the two other ProArt models released during the event, the ProAt PZ13 is 
being sold as a Copilot+ laptop, meaning that it will join the likes of Acer, 
Dell, HP, Lenovo and Samsung in offering more than 40 TOPS for powerful 
on-device AI. The Asus ProArt PZ13 is a laptop and a tablet in one 

With looks more akin to a tablet but components more aligned with powerful 
laptops, the ProArt PZ13 takes on the likes of the new Microsoft Surface Pro, 
also a Copilot+ PC. 

Certifying it as an AI-capable model, the PZ13 uses a Snapdragon X Series 
processor with up to 16GB LPLLR5 RAM and up to 1TB SSD storage. 

It features a 2880x1800 3K OLED display, a 13MP rear camera and a 5MP IR 
front-facing camera. Ports are simple, and consist of a pair of USB4 Type-C 
connections and an SD card reader. Physical volume buttons are also built 
into the design, and connectivity is powered by Wi-Fi 7. 

Key to its success will be its almost feather-like 850g weight, which makes 
it lighter than both the Surface Pro (900g) and other convertible and 
tablet-style laptops. 

An IP52 rating promises a strong level of protection against the elements, 
but while its not fully waterproof, it has been tested between -30 and 70 
degrees Celsius, at 15,000 feet and in direct sunlight, making it a strong 
choice for those spending any amount of time outdoors. 

Available to pre-order now, the Asus ProArt PZ13 will include a three-month 
Adobe Creative Suite subscription and a six-month CapCut Pro subscription. 
Its set to cost 1,199.99, positioning it next to the $999.99 Surface Pro and 
the $1,299 13-inch M4-powered iPad Pro. More from TechRadar Pro Microsoft
