日本ASUS ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 OLED W7604 review – For Content Creators Who Love to Play Games
The ASUS ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 OLED W7604 is a mind-blowingly good workstation for creators. It’s offered in just one high-end configuration with Intel Core i9-13980HX and 130W NVIDIA RTX 3000 Ada Generation. The latter is the pro-grade version of the RTX 4070. The 13980HX CPU is almost the same chip as the slightly higher-clocked 14900HX which boasts an identical core count as the 13th gen sibling. Expectedly, you get goodies such as good upgradability and modern port selection. The lack of Type-C charging is actually quite positive since you don’t lose one of the two Thunderbolt 4 connectors when the adapter is plugged in.
The display is a superb OLED touchscreen with 3200 x 2000 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. This panel’s color accuracy is exceptional, making it ideal for color-sensitive work like photo or video editing. You can take advantage of the vibrant colors even when using the device for gaming, watching videos, Web browsing, etc.
To cool the powerful internals, ASUS has fitted a dual-fan 5-heat pipe cooling system inside the chassis. It does a respectable job during heavy loads. Because of that, you can play on the latest and greatest titles with bumped visual quality. MUX switch is also onboard to boost the FPS in dGPU-only mode.

Drivers
All drivers and utilities for this notebook can be found here: https://www.asus.com/laptops/for-creators/proart/proart-studiobook-pro-16-oled-w7604/helpdesk_download?model2Name=ProArt-Studiobook-Pro-16-OLED-W7604
What’s in the box?
Inside the big box, you’ll find a smaller one that houses the laptop itself.
The package contains tons of manuals and a 240W barrel-style adapter. Some machines are also bundled with optional accessories such as a backpack or a stylus (ASUS Pen SA203H-MPP2.0).
Design and construction
The ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 OLED W7604 features a stealthy design. The build quality is out of this world with its impressive rigidness. ASUS states that the Mineral Black nano-coating is anti-fingerprint. Well, this may be valid for the lid but not for the base. After a few hours of testing, we can spot several smudges on the main body.
The machine isn’t exactly thin and light but it’s not as thick as some 18-inch gaming laptops. The weight is 2.4 kilos. The 20.9 – 23.9 mm profile thickness seems okay for a gadget with a 130W GPU under the hood.
The lid opens with one hand. The hinges are slightly stiffer than expected. The lid itself is practically unflexable! The touchscreen is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass layer, which also reinforces and protects the high-end panel.
The bezels around the OLED display are thin except for the bottom one. The 1080p Web camera with facial recognition for Windows Hello is positioned on top.
The max angle of the opening reaches the 180-degree mark which is useful for content sharing.
The ASUS Dial is close to the top left corner of the touchpad. This is a super handy physical controller that can be tuned to work as a hotkey that summons different actions in creative apps. This thing is also useful for normal work since you can use it for volume control, brightness adjustment, or fast forward / backward while watching videos or listening to music.
The keyboard with per-key lighting is a superb unit with big key caps, long travel, large Arrows, and a NumPad. However, the keyboard is positioned too close to the screen, making it slightly uncomfortable to use the top row of keys when the device is opened to around 90 degrees. Yep, accidental screen touches can occur.
The wide 16:10 haptic touchpad with stylus support impresses with quiet operation, smooth surface, and good accuracy.
Flipping the device upside down reveals a huge ventilation grill, three rubber feet, and a pair of speaker cutouts. The heat is guided via two vents on the rear and two on the sides.
Ports
On the left, there is a 10 Gbps USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 2) port, an Audio combo jack, and an SD Express 7.0 card reader. The back houses an HDMI 2.1 FRL (for up to 8K@60Hz external displays), a power plug, and a LAN. On the right side, we can see a Security Lock slot, another 10 Gbps USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 2) port, and a pair of 40 Gbps Thunderbolt 4 ports that support DisplayPort and Power Delivery extras.

Color Coverage
The whole “sail-shaped” map below (Fig. 1) consists of all the colors we can see, while the black crooked line shows all the colors from real-world scenes and nature around us.
Then, we’ve drawn some of the most important and interesting color spaces, compared to the colors the panel of ASUS ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 OLED W7604 can show:
Standard/For Web: sRGB – widely used color space for most consumer devices, ideal for Web design and development
For Print: AdobeRGB – used in professional photo editing, graphic design, and print
For Photographers/Video Editors: DCI-P3 – used in high-end film production, post-production, and digital cinema
Premium HDR: Rec.2020 – the widest consumer ITU color standard, covering a massive 75.8% of the visible spectrum, a benchmark for premium HDR content
ASUS ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 OLED W7604: the yellow dashed triangle (– – – – – –) represents the range of colors this monitor can display.
In our tests, we calculated the total color coverage of the monitor at 100% of the sRGB color gamut and 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut.
(Fig.1) ASUS ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 OLED W7604 covers 100% of the DCI-P3 gamut
The “MyASUS” app emulates Display P3 and sRGB color spaces.
(Fig.2) Display P3
(Fig.3) sRGB
The MyASUS app is complemented by ProArt Display Color Management Software aimed at helping the user make the most of accurate color matching for any workflow.
Brightness and Contrast
The maximum brightness in HDR mode is 573 cd/m² at 8% white fill and 422 cd/m² on a full white screen.
The maximum brightness in SDR mode is 359 cd/m² in the center of the screen and 355 cd/m² averaged across the surface with a maximum deviation of 2%.
The Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) on a white screen at maximum brightness is 6350K (“Native-Default, Normal” mode in “MyASUS” app).
The contrast ratio of OLED panels is excellent because the pixels turn off completely when displaying black.
Uniformity: Luminance, Contrast, and Color Deviation
The figure below shows the results from our uniformity test across different sections of the screen. It’s measured at 186 nits (Windows slider = 77%) — a brightness level we consider typical for standard working conditions.
DeltaE values below 4.0 are acceptable for regular users. For those working with colors, screens with DeltaE values no higher than 2.0 are recommended.
Color Accuracy
Let’s check the difference between real colors and those you’ll see on the ASUS ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 OLED W7604. We measure that distance in DeltaE – the higher the number, the more different they look.
Values below 4.0 are acceptable for regular users, while values below 2.0 are suitable for color-sensitive work. A value below 1.0 means the difference is indistinguishable to the naked eye.
For the next graph, we’ve selected 24 common colors, including dark/light skin, blue sky, green grass, etc.
Below are the results of the ASUS ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 OLED W7604 in its factory condition (HDR off) compared to Display P3 and sRGB color spaces.

Health Impact: PWM (Screen flickering)
Some use PWM to regulate their brightness, which means that instead of reducing the light intensity, they pulse or flicker. Our brain merges the image, so it appears darker, but this strains both it and our vision, especially when the frequency of the pulses is low. You can read more about that in our dedicated article on PWM.
In the graph below, you see the intensity of light at different brightness levels—on the vertical axis is the brightness of the emitted light, and on the horizontal axis—time.
The luminance of the ASUS ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 OLED W7604 display is PWM controlled up to about 90 cd/m2 (the “Flicker-Free Dimming” mode of the “My ASUS” app eliminates it). Therefore, we consider the display to be sufficiently comfortable for vision in the considered aspect.
Health Impact: Blue light emissions
Installing our Health-Guard profile reduces harmful Blue Light emissions while keeping the colors of the screen perceptually accurate.
If you’re not familiar with the Blue light, the TL;DR version is – emissions that negatively affect your eyes, skin, and your whole body. You can find more information about that in our dedicated article on Blue Light.
Health Impact: Screen Reflectance
Glossy-coated displays can cause eye fatigue in high ambient light conditions due to reflections. We measure the level of screen reflection with the display turned off, at a 60° angle.
The reflectance of the ASUS ProArt Studiobook’s screen is 149 GU.
High Gloss: >70 GU
Medium Gloss: 30 – 70 GU
Low Gloss: <30 GU

Office Work
Office Work should be used mostly by users who spend most of the time looking at pieces of text, tables or just surfing. This profile aims to deliver better distinctness and clarity by keeping a flat gamma curve (2.20), native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors.
Design and Gaming
This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65.
Health-Guard
Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.

Comfort during full load
The three power presets can be found in the ProArt Creator Hub app.
Sometimes the fans are turned completely off in “Performance” or “Standard” mode if the CPU temperature is low enough. You can bump the fans to their max speed of 5800 RPM.
“Standard” fans off
“Full Speed”In idle, the fans are almost whisper quiet in “Standard” mode and audible when the “Performance” preset is applied.
“Standard” Idle
“Performance” IdleWhen the CPU is doing the heavy lifting, the fan speed is more relaxed in “Standard” mode because the clocks are heavily tanked.
Max CPU Load “Performance”
Max CPU Load “Standard”During gaming, the fans are loud but the noise isn’t a high-pitched one which is positive. The GPU TGP is reduced to ~90W in “Standard” mode which isn’t that bad since the core clock almost reaches the 2.00 GHz mark. Applying the “Full Speed” preset results in slightly lower temperatures.

The hotspot is on the top row of the keys and it’s reaching ~51°C. The WASD zone feels stone cold and the bottom display bezel barely gets warm.
Battery
Now, we conduct the battery tests with the Windows Best Power Efficiency setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 180 nits and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with. This laptop’s 90Wh battery lasts for around 6 hours of video playback. Оur test was conducted with the “Battery Saver” preset activated in the Windows “Power & Battery” menu and the “Standard” mode applied in the ProArt Creator Hub app.

Disassembly, Upgrade options, and Maintenance
То have a sneak peek at the internals of this high-end mobile workstation, you have to undo 10 Torx-head screws. Since there are no gaps between the main body and the panel, the best starting point is to pop the plate with a lever tool by inserting it in the lower row of the rear exhausts. You can place a microfiber cloth below the tool if you don’t want to scratch the matte surface.
Then, pry the middle zone of the back and half of the sides with a thin plastic tool. After that, just raise the rear of the plate and lift it away from the chassis. If the internal clips aren’t fully released, fully pry the sides and the front.
Here’s how the bottom plate looks on the inside.
This machine is equipped with a 90Wh battery. To remove it, slide up the small metal shroud on the top that covers the battery connector. Before doing that, wear gloves to avoid short circuits. Lift the connector on the sides with a plastic tool.
Then, undo the four Phillips-head screws that hold the battery in place. The capacity is enough for around 6 hours of video playback.
The PCB of the ASUS Dial is underneath the right fan. For storage, you get two M.2 slots compatible with 2280 Gen 4 SSDs. The system storage drive has a large thermal pad on top. According to ASUS, the two SODIMMs fit up to 64GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM in dual-channel mode. However, since the CPU can support up to 192GB, this laptop likely wouldn’t have issues running a larger amount of memory than the official manufacturer’s specified limit. The memory modules are covered with heat shields.
It’s still a mystery to us why the Wi-Fi 6E card is positioned in front of the left slot. As you can see, when an NVMe is installed, it almost fully covers the card on top which could lead to potential connection problems.
You can have a look at the SSD and RAM modules of our machine.
The ASUS IceCool Pro thermal system looks massive. It features two large fans with 102 blades for each unit and preapplied liquid metal on the CPU die. The cooling has three heat pipes shared between the CPU and the GPU, and an additional pipe dedicated to each chip. The system is complemented by four heat sinks, two small heat spreaders, and a pair of huge metal plates. The left one also cools the chipset.
Verdict
The ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 OLED W7604 is a multipurpose device. The hardware is powerful enough for content creation, gaming, or whatever you like! The mighty Core i9-13980HX maintains a 3.07 GHz / 2.53GHz P and E core clock even in long loads. The core of the RTX 3000 Ada Generation boosts to almost 2400 MHz in graphics-heavy tasks.
The two SODIMMs and the pair of M.2 slots ensure that the device is ready for future upgrades. We like the fact that the two Thunderbolt 4s are complemented by a pair of 10 Gbps USB Type-As which also supports fast data transfer.
The 3.2K 120Hz OLED (ATNA60BX01-1 (SDC4178)) is just perfect for content creation thanks to the full DCI-P3 coverage and the pro-grade color accuracy. The unit impresses with 573 cd/m² max brightness in HDR mode and infinite contrast ratio.
The ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 has many tricks up in its sleeve such as great input devices, top-fo-the-line OLED display, great premium build quality, and capable cooling.
