ASUS ProArt 16 OLED H7606WP Laptop | 16.0” 4K OLED Touchscreen | CoPilot+ PC | AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 | 32GB RAM | 1TB PCIe SSD | Backlit Keyboard | Windows 11 | Stylus Pen

An incredible beast! The computer is very powerful, all software packages and specia offers add a lot of value. I ordered in the UK as this model is not available in the Netherlands. The experience was smooth and the price better than in mainland Europe, even after import tax. The ad mentions a 120Hz screen, it is not - it's 60Hz. I use this computer to replace my desktop (AMD 5950x, RTX 4070 Super 32Gb). Very happy with my purchase, it can do many things and it is so beautiful.

Very powerful with a robust case and amazing Wifi 7 connectability, but also unacceptably glitchy. Issues like screen flickering off and on fairly frequently, complete lock-ups from time to time and an annoyingly twitchy touchpad that altering the sensitivity doesn't help. I've kept up to date with hardware and bios updates and this has improved it a bit from when it was out of the box, but I suspect the bundled Asus packages are conflicting with Windows 11 here and there, particularly on the power options. On battery power it's impossible to get it to do what you tell it to do with regards to powering off the monitor, going to sleep etc. I disabled the touchscreen because it's not much use on a laptop anyway and leaving it on allows you to make selections from, or close, browser tabs etc inadvertently due to the very thin bezel when tilting the screen. I also disabled the 'wheel' on the touchpad because it's so easy to activate by accident, turning on an annoying little white LED, and tricky to turn off again using a gesture. If you're going to buy one of these my advice would be to do a clean Windows 11 install to dispense with the bundled stuff from Asus and see how it performs after updating everything. That's what I wish I had done and if it had still had the problems that it does now I would have sent it back.

Highly recommending. Light weight. Low noise. Low heat. Perfect battery life. perform well. I am writing this review using this lap.

Ordered on a Saturday, it arrived late Monday. I booted it up for the first time on Tuesday and spent the morning installing software. Then over the rest of Tuesday and much of Wednesday I explored its features. it is a superb machine - everything that you would expect from the specs and the reviews. The only problem was that the display kept flickering and every so often it would go black for a second or so. From google I found that a few others had experienced this issue but none had solved it so the advice from the chat rooms was to return it. By Wednesday evening I was unsure whether I could live with this feature.On Thursday morning I wrote a one page word document and the display kept flickering - so I decided I had to return it. I phoned Amazon, told them that I wanted to return it and they said fine. So I spent some time on Thursday morning removing my ID from the machine - eventually using the reset feature in Windows 11, and is was collected by UPS mid morning on Thursday.I had agreed to pay in five equal instalments. It took a week to refund me the first instalment and advise me that the remaining four payments had been waived.

(64GB 2TB SSD RTX4070 ver)Three stars because of the spec, build quality but returned after 10 days for the following reasons:1 - Either froze, BOD (twice) nearly every time I used it - all of which needed a power off if the m/c hadn't already initiated a restart. All restart problems were when I used GPU intensive Adobe, DXO apps or inking with the pen - I'm inclined to believe that I was unlucky and had a m/c with faulty GPU.2 - I did contact Asus support about the screen - (It's like a mirror) - to see if it was faulty but then it started freezing/ BODs so didn't pursue support with them as would have been "check all updates/BIOS firmware up to date" - which they were.3 - Many users on Reddit reported constant problems with this laptop and with Asus in general but some individuals reported complete reliability.4 - I did consider getting a replacement but for a 2.5k plus laptop the screen is far too reflective for me and at 500 nits isn't enough to work outside. I purchased to replace an ageing mbp 16in but incredibly the screen on the Apple m/c is better than that on the Proart 7606WI. While windows 11 is a decent Os, windows updates are still fragile and you tend to have separate OEM updates and Windows updates.Positives - great build quality, keyboard, quiet, some useful ASUS software for creatives, though tbh Adobe firefly is far better at image generation than whatever gen Ai `MuseTree uses. Trackpads or touchpads as they're know on Windows never seem to work as well as Apple trackpads.It's clear why Apple feel they can demand their inflated prices - while in some ways Windows 11 is a better and far more customisable/ feature rich Os, MacOS is more robust and reliable and basically just works. As soon as you turn on a new Mac and post setup gives you the option to learn all about your new device. With the ASUS there was no hand-holding. You have to dig around the m/c to get to know all the OEM features - far more time consuming.I've used Macs for over 10 years so my experience had to be pretty much seamless to switch and I would have probably kept the ASUS if it was fault free but on reflection I think I would have regretted that decision due to the mirror-like screen.Note, this is my experience with the Proart 7606WI and as I said previously, there are many users on Reddit that are really happy with this laptop!
