The Asus ProArt P16 is the latest laptop to aim for the Dell XPS 16. It's packing AMD's latest chipset and a 4K+ OLED display. Is that enough to compete?
There are a lot of great large-screen laptops today, with the 16-inch machine taking over as the most popular choice for creators and productivity power users. It’s no longer necessary to grab a gaming laptop if you want to churn through video editing.
Then, the ProArt P16’s $2,700 high-end configuration has 64GB of RAM, a 2TB SSD, and an RTX 4070. The XPS 16 costs $3,300 with the same configuration.Design The XPS 16 is a sleek laptop on the outside, with a streamlined aesthetic that remains unchanged for several generations. Open it up, and it’s full of ultramodern touches — a zero-lattice keyboard, a hidden haptic touchpad, and a row of LED touch function keys. It also has the thinnest display bezels on a 16-inch laptop.
Connectivity is also a win for Asus. The ProArt P16 is stocked with a variety of ports, although more than just one USB4 port would have been a good idea. But the full-size SD card reader and overall ability to connect legacy devices without dongles is a clear win. Both laptops have the latest in wireless connectivity.
The XPS 16’s performance suffers in that not a lot of power is distributed to the CPU and GPU. So, even the faster chipset wouldn’t make a difference. When compared to the ProArt P16, we see that the Asus is faster across all of our benchmarks. That includes the Pugetbench Premiere Pro benchmark, which can use the GPU to speed up various tasks, and in gaming benchmarks where the ProArt P16 is also significantly faster.
Portability Both laptops are large and relatively heavy. The ProArt P16 is thinner and lighter, which is a good thing. But you’ll feel both as you lug them around.
