With the release of the latest ASUS Vivobook Pro 16X OLED (N7601), the brand has finally unveiled its absolute goliath of a device. It’s a flagship laptop and definitely worthy of the name. Curious why we think so? We’ll list down its most appealing features to make things a bit more simple for your purchase decision on this investment.

Crystal-clear Display Technology

Starting off with the screen, here we get a 16-inch OLED panel with an eyewatering 4K resolution and 16:10 NanoEdge Technology. Yep. 4K and OLED in one device.

Content creators and cinema fanatics should be able to get their fix with this immensely immersive display. The OLED tech allows the colors to pop out of the screen with superb accuracy and vividness. Thanks to stellar hardware and support for HDR, Pantone Validation, and Dolby Vision, this makes editing on the ASUS Vivobook Pro 16X OLED a treat since what you see on your laptop screen is what your audience should see as well. If the color accuracy isn’t enough by your eyes’ standards, then the ProArt software gives you access to the Color Calibration menu, getting the screen in just the shade you want it.

The high resolution also ensures that you won’t be spotting individual pixels, perfect for bringing movies and other clips to life.

On the other hand, the 16:10 NanoEdge aspect ratio increases your workspace to the fullest and exchanges bezels for it. That 90.3% screen-to-body ratio gives you enough room for work and play, but the overall package still remains ultraportable at just 19.9mm thin for use in any scenario. It’s a win-win situation.

Consistent Power

Packed into this ASUS Vivobook Pro 16X OLED flagship laptop are some specs that make it worthy of the name. That includes the latest-generation 14-core Intel Core i9-12900H processor paired with the capable NVIDIA RTX 3060 GPU. Alongside a healthy 16GB of RAM, these specs make it a multitasking mammoth. Switching between various windows, tabs, and tasks should prove no sweat.

It will also benefit creative professionals who need high-end hardware to render their works, whether in post or real-time 3D modeling. As with devices that are capable of these tasks, you can also expect some gaming cred with this all-in-one tool. It’ll handle both your work and your play with ease.

ASUS is not looking to pull you in and then let you down with this device. It can actually maintain the advertised peak performance with ingenious cooling strategies to prevent throttling. It features ASUS’ IceCool Pro Thermal System. This has been engineered to keep the laptop at a consistent temperature way below the point wherein performance would be diminished or the battery would experience unnatural degradation. To this end, it has six heat pipes, four vents, dual fans, and more.

Fan speeds can be adjusted via the Creator Hub to be appropriate for the surrounding environment.

Better Video Conferences Than Ever

People often use external webcams with their laptops due to poor quality. ASUS has taken this into consideration and boosted the conferencing capablities of this ASUS Vivobook Pro 16X OLED laptop. When in use with the webcam privacy shutter open, it can output High Definition video for clarity. This isn’t anything new though.

The evolution here comes in the software. With real-time Temporal Noise Reduction, the laptop will process what it sees from the webcam feed, reduce grain, and fix the lighting before sending it off to the person you’re on call with. Its immense power gives it the leeway to do so. This results in cleaner and noise-free video when it comes to calls.

Speaking of noise-free, the ASUS AI Noise-Canceling can also be found onboard. If you’re surrounded by noise and clatter while on call, the device will reduce these noises to make your voice stand out over the rest. If the person you’re conferencing with also has an ASUS PC, then this ASUS Vivobook Pro 16X OLED will take out the background noise from their audio before it gets projected onto your display. With no lag, no less.

This makes listening to your coworkers or friends over the built-in Harman Kardon speakers a pleasurable experience. You won’t struggle looking for headphones or external speakers anytime soon. Why not turn on the supported Dolby Atmos while you’re on call to give their voice a little bit of rumble?

Ports and Hubs Everywhere

This may be a laptop, but it can also act as a battlestation at home. It has multiple ports that allow it to be set down on a stand, connected to a monitor, and turned into a desktop replacement. It has a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, one Gen 1 Type-A port, one Type-C port, one Thunderbolt 4 USB-C port, an audio combo jack, a microSD Express 7.0 slot, an RJ-45 port, and an HDMI 2.1 port with support for either 4K 120Hz or 8K 60Hz monitors. Phew, that’s a lot.

WiFi connectivity is also a priority always-online professionals. ASUS WiFi SmartConnect efficiently allots network resources to the most important tasks and stabilizes connectivity by eliminating dead spots. A reliable network connection speeds up everyday tasks tenfold, giving you more time for the important things in life.

Apart from those mentioned, the touchpad has multiple purposes thanks to the wonders of ASUS DialPad technology. It has now evolved to be compatible with apps like Adobe Photoshop for efficient and accurate brush controls. That’s just one of its wonderful features and many are in the pipeline for addition later on.

Durable Design

Despite its aforementioned thinness and compact build, the ASUS Vivobook Pro 16X OLED is still crafted fully out of steel.

It only weighs in at 2.3kg but carries military-grade certification for its durability. It’s survived the Shock, Vibration, High/Low Temperature, and Altitude Tests with relative ease. All the ports and I/O have also been put under situations more typical of everyday life – accounting for longevity rather than one-time durability.

This includes thousands of port tests, 30kg of pressure on the laptop with no damage, 10 million keyboard strokes, shock tests, hinge opening and closing, as well as spilled beverages on the keyboard. The great minds at ASUS already know what kind of situations the laptop will be placed in which is why they’ve set out to counter these everyday mishaps.
