Verdict

ASUS has once again created a no-compromise laptop. It won’t come cheap, but it can do everything it’s meant to – if not even more. The SD card slot makes it extremely easy for photographers to step into work right in, while the display is an absolute beauty.

ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X OLED (UX7602)’s 4K OLED panel has comfortable viewing angles, super quick pixel response times, and a practically infinite contrast ratio. This leads to true blacks, which really make the image pop. What also helps, in this case, is the full sRGB and DCI-P3 coverage.

Its default settings produce a really accurate image in terms of the aforementioned color standards. Not only that, but the “MyASUS” app offers a ton of control over your display, which is nice.

Our configuration was equipped with the Core i9-12900H, and an RTX 3060 with 95W of TGP. It is amazing in terms of performance. However, we have to mention that Intel’s 13th Gen CPUs, and NVIDIA’s RTX 4000 GPUs are right around the corner. And ASUS confirms that it will sell this very laptop with both of the newcomers in the near future.

From the benchmarks we have got ourselves, we can tell you, without a doubt, that waiting for the next-gen is definitely worth it. This cooling solution is made with the current hardware in mind, but we doubt that it is going to find dealing with the new hardware super difficult. Plus, ASUS may have something up its sleeve.

Speaking of having stuff in your sleeve, you will get an ASUS Pen inside this laptop’s packaging. Yes, this naturally means the display is touch-enabled. To be honest, we find the keyboard far more interesting, due to its tilted nature, which not only lets more air to the fans but also results in a far more comfortable typing experience.

While we are there, we have to give an honorable mention of the haptics on the huge NumberPad (this is what ASUS calls its fancy touchpad). And right next to it (or left next to it), you will find the ASUS Dial. It is a super neat little trick to accelerate your workflow and make your job at least a bit easier.

Unfortunately, there is one thing that prevents this machine from getting a perfect score – the memory. It is soldered to the motherboard, meaning you can’t upgrade it in the future. On the bright side, you can pick the 32GB version, and just forget about it.

To make my editor’s job even harder, I would like to tell you about the miscellaneous functions of the device. A privacy shutter? Sure, it is operated via the “F10” key. IR face recognition? Sure, it is placed right next to the Full HD Web camera.

Now, this is where it becomes interesting. Thanks to the magical blend of sensors located above the dazzling display, you have control over your background. You can fade it, and make your eyes look constantly in the camera without the need of a tiny archer sitting on your desk, threatening to put a pick in your eyeball if you look elsewhere.

The cream of the crop, in our opinion, is the function that lets you go to the restroom, without fearing your colleagues will ruin your Fantasy Football squad. Just tell your Zenbook Pro 16X OLED (UX7602), at what distance, and with what timeout to turn off its display and log you out. You can even adjust the distance of detection, so you can be automatically logged in when you sit in front of your machine.

At the end of the day, we have one thing to say. More accurately – to reaffirm – ASUS is the world’s innovation leader when it comes to laptops. Some of the aforementioned tech is not entirely, but what matters is that the company has the balls to go all out on some selected notebooks. And boy do they make everything out of them.
