Aside from having the proper shooting gear, content creators also need a good laptop that they can use to edit their work. There are many laptops to choose from, but those who want the ultimate content creator workstation need not look further, as ASUS brings its top-end ZenBook to the Philippines with the ZenBook Pro 16X OLED (UX7602).

ASUS’ flagship ZenBook brings all the best internals along with a design that’s distinct to the brand. It also gets a few features from ASUS’ ProArt professional notebooks, making the ZenBook Pro 16X OLED a dream for any content creator.

Should you have Php 250k lying around, we break down why the ZenBook Pro 16X OLED is the best laptop you can buy for serious content creation:

Best-in-class display. A great display is important for any content creator, and the ZenBook Pro 16X OLED simply has the best. That 16-inch OLED display has a productivity-focused 16:10 aspect ratio, a 3.2K resolution, and a 120hz refresh rate that makes everything look smooth on the display. ASUS complements that fast 120hz refresh rate with a snappy 0.2ms response rate for the best motion clarity–a feature that is important especially when it comes to video editing.

Content creators will love that the ZenBook Pro 16X OLED’s display covers 133% of the sRGB and 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, along with a DisplayHDR TrueBlack 500 for the most accurate possible colors. Being an OLED display, the ZenBook Pro 16X OLED can go brighter than most IPS panels used by the competition–all while offering the same level of color accuracy across all levels.

 

 

Innovative hinge design. ASUS has refined its trademark Active Aerodynamic System (AAS) on the ZenBook Pro 16X OLED to give users the most optimal airflow and the best keyboard angle. This complex hinge opens up so that creators will have a comfortable typing angle with the ZenBook Pro 16X OLED while keeping its internals cool even under heavy loads.

Aside from the hinge, the ZenBook Pro 16X OLED uses Liquid Metal for both the CPU and GPU and has a 3D vapor chamber to give it the best thermal management even when doing resource-heavy 4K video editing. The best part? You get all of those features with the ZenBook Pro 16X OLED’s 16.9mm thin chassis!

 

Handy ASUS Dial for editing. Aside from having a ScreenPad for serious number crunching, the ZenBook Pro 16X OLED also has an ASUS Dial that’s borrowed from the brand’s high-end ProArt creator laptops. This handy dial lets you make precise adjustments with your edits and is compatible with apps under Adobe Creative Cloud. Whether you are using Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, or Premiere, the ZenBook Pro 16X OLED will not just speed up your workflow, but also simplify it with the ASUS Dial’s programmable nature.

 

Groundbreaking board design. The ZenBook Pro 16X OLED introduces ASUS’ new Supernova System-on-Module (SoM) design for the motherboard. This new approach decreases the distance between CPU and RAM, allowing for a more compact board design and higher memory frequencies for improved overall performance. This approach also allows the ZenBook Pro 16X OLED to pack a studio-grade RTX 4080 GPU inside while maintaining its 16.9mm slim profile.

 

The best internals you can ask for. To go along with its unique board design, the ZenBook Pro 16X OLED comes with a Core i9-13905H processor paired with 32GB LPDDR5X RAM and 2TB NVMe 4.0 SSD storage. That’s a maxed-out configuration that can zip through any task with ease. We used the ZenBook Pro 16X OLED for editing photos in Lightroom Classic and editing videos in DaVinci Resolve, and it handled large files with ease.

Despite all the power that it offers, what makes the ZenBook Pro 16X OLED great is that it makes good use of its 96wHr battery. Our video loop test got us 5 hours and 10 minutes of battery life with the ZenBook Pro 16X OLED, which is an impressive figure considering that it has a Core i9 processor and an RTX 4080 GPU inside.

 

The ZenBook Pro 16X OLED (UX7602BZ) is priced at Php 249,995.
