One of the biggest items that ASUS unveiled back in CES 2023 was the ProArt Studiobook 16 3D OLED. It looks to be the one laptop that packs all the new tech that the company has to offer across its many lines of laptops, including a unique trick of its own – a glasses-free 3D OLED screen.
As the company explains it, the ASUS ProArt Studiobook 16 3D OLED uses a 3D lenticular lens layered on top of the display. This allows it to beam light from the display into directions beyond dead ahead. This is the tech that is used to essentially beam two different images to each eye of the user, creating its 3D image. Naturally, 3D eye tracking tech means having two cameras on top to to do the job, letting the ProArt Studiobook 16 3D OLED adjust its output depending on the location of your head.
If you job needs you to take a really good look at a 3D model, then there’s probably no better tool. This is because the screen on the ASUS ProArt Studiobook 16 3D OLED is a 16-inch 16:10 3.2K display with not only a 120Hz refresh rate, but also 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut coverage.
Other components on the inside also ensure that the laptop has what it takes to handle demanding tasks related to the feature. This includes up to an Intel Core i9-13980HX CPU, up to and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, up to 64GB of RAM and up to 8TB of PCIe 4 SSD, as well as two more M.2 slots. Keeping all this running when a power outlet is not available is a 90Wh battery.
All this feels like quite a throwback to half a decade ago when 3D was all the rage. Though even in its current iteration, it’s nice to look at for awhile but prolonged use will probably still induce some degree of headache. Not something that would see a lot of use from the average person, but professionals in related fields would probably appreciate.
All that being said, ASUS ProArt Studiobook 16 3D OLED is kind of in the same boat as the ROG Strix Scar G18, in that there’s currently no word on the exact configurations that will be available when it makes landfall on our shores. Ditto availability here, which is currently just a Q2 2023 window.
