Fantastic touchscreen
Inventive, comfortable ergonomics
Amazing performance
Expensive
Mediocre battery life
Whether you're a gamer or content creator, the power tools underneath the hood of this Asus Zenbook laptop make it excellent for pretty much every task. Exceptional features for gamers include a 120Hz refresh rate and incredible processing speeds with high-resolution graphics, but you'll have to keep an eye on the battery life.
What also makes this premium Zenbook great for creative pros is the gorgeous touchscreen display, and the showstopping precision-engineered AAS Ultra mechanism which raises the rear of the keyboard by approximately 14.5 mm, and tilts it by 7°. Why you ask? This positions it at the perfect angle for comfortable typing, enhances cooling with 30% more airflow, and helps with clearer audio.
The laptop also comes with a pro stylus, the Asus Pen 2.0, so this is an all-inclusive creative package. There's also the ProArt Creator Hub for settings adjustment, plus the cleverly designed Asus dial, which is useful when working with software like After Effects, Photoshop, Lightroom, and Premiere Pro, letting you scroll through the timeline smoothly and add custom functions. The Zenbook Pro 16X also has an IR camera, facial recognition, a fingerprint scanner, a haptic touchpad, and a 4K display.
Our reviews editor found that it couldn't really be compared to any other products on the market right now, surpassing even the AppleMacBook Pro 16 M2 Pro. The Zenbook is a leader of its own, and a new benchmark for rivals to measure against.

What's a good price for a pro laptop?
There's no specific answer we can give to this question, but most pro-level laptops these days can be found for around $4,000/£4,000 with top-spec features. Whether or not that's a good price depends on your own budget, lifestyle, and how much you can justify paying for one device.
However, if you work in the creative field and rely heavily on your laptop to do your job, and need to run necessary software such as Photoshop and Lightroom to make a living, then you could argue that pro-level laptops will pay for themselves in the levels of advanced work they let you create, and are a necessary investment.
That's just one way of looking at it, the alternative is to wait around for the next best model to replace the one you want, and get a worthwhile discount as the value lowers. You can also shop secondhand, which is a great way to save money and help the e-waste economy at the same time.
