What’s in the box?
Opening the box for the new ProArt P16 H7606 (2025), we were keen to see what accessories ASUS has bundled in this time.
The list of potential inclusions features a handy USB-A to RJ45 gigabit ethernet adapter, a backpack, and an ASUS Pen SA203H stylus for those creative workflows.
…and the 200W charger, of course
However, ASUS notes that these included extras can vary by country, so it’s definitely worth checking with your local retailer to see exactly what accompanies your ProArt P16.
Design and construction
The ASUS ProArt P16 H7606 (2025) is a masterclass in understated power, presenting an exceptionally elegant and premium aesthetic that truly elevates the concept of a “work laptop.” Clad in what ASUS calls “Nano Black”, it features the new, sophisticated ProArt logo subtly placed on the lid. The entire chassis is crafted from an aluminium CNC unibody, and this isn’t just a design choice for looks; it translates into remarkable strength. This machine feels incredibly solid, confidently meeting US MIL-STD-810H military-grade standards not just on paper, but in hand – there’s virtually no flex or give, even when applying significant pressure.
Despite this robust build, it remains impressively thin and light, especially considering the powerhouse components like an RTX 5070 and AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 that can be found within. Measuring just 1.49 ~ 1.73 cm (0.59″ ~ 0.68″) thick and weighing in at 1.85 kg (4.08 lbs), it’s a marvel of engineering. One minor point on the otherwise flawless exterior: the “Nano Black” finish does tend to pick up smudges, so a microfiber cloth might be a good companion.
Interacting with the ProArt P16 is a delight. The lid glides open smoothly with a single hand, a testament to well-tuned hinges. Once open, your eyes are drawn to the display, framed by incredibly thin bezels – just 5mm on the sides and 8.5mm at the top. These bezels appear even more slender due to the Corning Gorilla Glass that covers both the screen and the bezels themselves, creating a seamless, edge-to-edge look.
The slightly thicker top bezel houses the FHD ASUS AiSense camera, complete with IR functionality for Windows Hello facial recognition. However, a notable omission for some will be the lack of a physical privacy shutter for this camera. The screen can recline to a maximum angle of about 130 degrees. Unlike some designs, the base of the ProArt P16 doesn’t lift when the screen is opened; ASUS instead relies on a potent cooling system, featuring an impressive three fans, to manage thermals effectively without such mechanical aids.
The keyboard deck offers a reasonably comfortable typing experience. In a deliberate design choice, ASUS has forgone a dedicated NumPad. While this might be a drawback for some, the space has been reallocated to accommodate impressively large Harman Kardon speakers, promising a superior audio experience – a trade-off many creators might appreciate. For biometric login, since there’s no fingerprint reader, you’ll be relying on the aforementioned IR camera.
But the real star of the input area is the trackpad. It’s generously sized at 150 x 100mm, providing ample room for gestures. More significantly, ASUS has integrated its innovative DialPad directly into the trackpad surface. This isn’t just a gimmick; the ASUS Dialpad is a powerful tool for creative professionals, designed to work seamlessly with popular software like Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Lightroom Classic, Illustrator, and After Effects. It now also boasts enhanced compatibility with the widely used video-editing app, CapCut.
Pressing the DialPad reveals a context-sensitive menu tailored to the active Adobe application, allowing for intuitive adjustments of common functions like zoom, brightness, and contrast. You can easily change brush sizes or quickly undo actions, streamlining your creative workflow. The ProArt Creator Hub software provides extensive customization options, allowing users to set specific shortcut functions for the DialPad menu on a per-app basis, including grouping similar functions.
Furthermore, the ASUS DialPad fully supports Microsoft Wheel Device operation, enabling further customization via Microsoft Wheel settings, and even allows users to adjust the scroll speed sensitivity across five levels. You can also manage profiles, exporting and importing your DialPad settings for use on other compatible devices. It’s a truly versatile and powerful input solution aimed squarely at enhancing productivity for creators.
Ports and Connectivity
The ASUS ProArt P16 H7606 (2025) is well-equipped with a selection of ports tailored for creative professionals and high-performance workflows. On the left side, power is supplied via a dedicated DC-in port. For video output, there’s an HDMI 2.1 port with Full Rate Link (FRL), ensuring support for high resolutions and refresh rates such as 4K at 120Hz or 8K at 60Hz, crucial for detailed visual work. Accompanying this is a highly capable USB 4.0 Gen 3 Type-C port, offering data transfer speeds up to 40Gbps, DisplayPort Alt Mode for connecting external monitors (likely supporting DisplayPort 2.0 standards), and Power Delivery for charging the laptop or other devices. A USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port (10Gbps) and a standard 3.5mm combo audio jack complete the left-side array.
The right side continues to offer strong connectivity, highlighted by an SD Express 7.0 card reader. This high-speed reader is a significant boon for photographers and videographers, allowing for rapid transfer of large media files. You’ll also find another USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port (10Gbps) and a second USB Type-C port. This additional USB-C port also operates at USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds (10Gbps) and supports DisplayPort Alt Mode (likely DisplayPort 1.2) as well as Power Delivery. The inclusion of two versatile USB-C ports with display and power capabilities, alongside two fast Type-A ports and a cutting-edge card reader, makes for a robust I/O setup. An onboard Ethernet port is not present, so wired networking would require a USB adapter.
Wireless connectivity is at the forefront, featuring the latest Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) standard. This is specified as “Dual band” with a 2×2 antenna configuration, providing access to high-speed wireless networking for fast uploads, downloads, and streaming. Bluetooth 5.4 is also included for connecting a wide array of wireless peripherals, though ASUS notes that the Bluetooth version may change with OS updates.

(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 567 cd/m² at 8% white fill and 394 cd/m² on a full white screen.
The maximum brightness in SDR mode is 355 cd/m² in the center of the screen and 354 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 6480K (“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 185 nits (Windows slider = 76%) — 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 P16 H7606 (2025). 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 P16 H7606 (2025) in its factory condition (HDR off) compared to Display P3 and sRGB color spaces.

Visibility in dark scenes
Have you ever watched a movie with dark scenes where you could barely see anything? This often happens because many display panels struggle to differentiate the darkest nuances, making them appear the same.
The next figure illustrates how well the display reproduces these dark nuances. The left side of the image shows the display with stock settings, and the right side shows it with our Gaming and movies profile activated.
On the horizontal axis are the grayscale levels, and on the vertical axis – the corresponding display brightness.
You can also check how your display handles the darkest nuances but keep in mind that this also depends on the settings of your current display and the surrounding light conditions.
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 P16 H7606 (2025) 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 P16 H7606 (2025)’s screen is 143 GU.
High Gloss: >70 GU
Medium Gloss: 30 – 70 GU
Low Gloss: <30 GU

In essence, the ASUS ProArt P16 H7606 (2025) is an outstanding achievement, successfully packaging desktop-grade power and a professional-grade display into a surprisingly portable and beautifully built chassis. It’s an exceptional tool for content creators, designers, and AI professionals who need a no-compromise mobile workstation and value innovative features like the DialPad. While the highly reflective screen is its most significant Achilles’ heel for visual work, its strengths in performance, build, storage options, battery life, and creator-focused tools make it a top contender in the premium workstation market.

I’d gladly trade the numpad for larger speakers in every laptop i ever used at home.
If only it were the ProArt P18, right? 🙂 I won’t stop looking for the perfect 18-incher for you, Will! I’ll order it as soon as I see it – promise!
