"In CapCut (which comes installed), the dial can be used for zoom, frame-by-frame stepping in a videoclip, and other adjustment functions. Adobe app support is also broad and preconfigured, but all of these functions can be adjusted by the user in the ProArt Creator Hub settings software. Outside of an app, the DialPad also lets you quickly adjust system volume and brightness without having to take your hand off the touchpad."
"A bevy of software is bundled with the unit. In addition to CapCut, it's preloaded with Nvidia Studio Suite, Asus StoryCube (a file-management assistant), and Asus MuseTree (streamlining the creative process). It's also a Copilot+ PC, so you have access to all of Microsoft's AI tools. I tested all of these functions and found them to be worthwhile additions-though none are absolutely game-changing."
"All told, I really loved working with the ProArt 16 and was sad to have to box it up at the end of my week of testing. But I realize I've perhaps left you hanging. I mentioned at the start that there was one negative with the laptop, and it might well be a deal-breaker. It's the price of the thing."
The ProArt 16 provides a customizable dial for zoom, frame-by-frame stepping, and other adjustments, configurable via ProArt Creator Hub. The DialPad enables quick system volume and brightness control without leaving the touchpad. The laptop ships with creative software including CapCut, Nvidia Studio Suite, Asus StoryCube and MuseTree, and offers Copilot+ PC access to Microsoft's AI tools. These software extras are useful but not transformative. The machine delivers exceptional Windows performance thanks to its power and discrete GPU. The $4,000 price is a major drawback compared with similarly performing alternatives.
