The ASUS Line of Creative Solutions

Designed specifically for creators, ASUS offers an impressive line of laptop and PC components and accessories through the creator lineup. This family of products are designed to meet the specific workflow and requirements for a huge variety of creators.

The ProArt Studiobook line is for professional creators who have extreme performance demands for activities such as photorealistic rendering, running stimulations or processing analytical calculations. Its elegant and polished aesthetic hides best-in-class components typically found on flashier devices, allowing the Studiobook to feel right at home in high-end professional environments such as design studios, and engineering and architect firms.

For advanced creators on the cutting edge of innovation, the Zenbook Pro Duo is an excellent companion – a premium device packaged with ASUS’s dual screen technology, creators have a selection of inputs to choose from: through the keyboard, touchpad, or with their finger or a stylus on the dual screen, touch capable ScreenPad™ Plus. Toolbars in creative applications can be docked to the ScreenPad™ Plus, freeing the main display of space to see more imagery. Application windows can also be arranged on the ScreenPad™ Plus to provide a visual reference while the main display is focused on the main piece of work. Tough and well built, the Zenbook Pro Duo can withstand the bump and grind of everyday life while maintaining a premium look and feel, and its powerful processers stand up to the rigors of photo and video editing applications with ease. It is also available in the traditional clamshell form without the dual screen. Known simply as “Zenbook” or “Zenbook Pro” for a higher tiered model, it is every bit just as lightweight and portable; perfect for creatives who draw inspiration from and work in a variety of places.

For young creators who are keen on exploring their own creativity, the Vivobook Pro and Pro X laptops are a perfect mix of portability and power. An excellent choice for people who are eager to create content and to launch their careers in a creative industry, the Vivobook line offers devices that are capable and affordable.

The Republic of Gamers product line brings gaming-grade components to the creator space. Designed to play triple A titles with ease, the very same device can handle creator applications, making it a great machine for work and play. High refresh displays and powerful GPUs translates to excellent graphic performance for creators who develop gaming content.

ASUS Dial and Adobe Integration

New in 2021 is the ASUS Dial, a physical wheel on ProArt laptops and mice that provides tactile input for several Adobe Creative Cloud® apps. It is an intuitive way to make minute adjustments to settings. ASUS collaborated with Adobe to provide support for the ASUS Dial to four main Adobe apps:

• In Photoshop®, you can easily select brushes, switch between layers, or perform other tasks to manipulate assets
• In Lightroom Classic, use the ASUS Dial to make precise adjustments to color balance to tone
• In Premiere Pro, quickly skip through scenes and balance audio tracks
• In After Effects®, navigate through the timeline with ease, and zoom in and out effortlessly

ASUS is always innovating, so look forward to additional application integration in the future with the ASUS Dial.

Supporting the Creative Community

ASUS aims to offer more than leading hardware for today’s creative minds. ASUS previously partnered with students at ArtCenter College of Design to work together on the ProArt product line, cultivating novel and innovative ideas that could be implement into future versions of existing products. Recently, ASUS partnered with ArtCenter again, to develop new possibilities for the iconic AniMe Matrix™ LED display, found on the ASUS Republic of Gamers Zephyrus G14 gaming laptop. To further connect with the creative community, ASUS invites creators to connect their new ProArt channel on Instagram.

Beyond hardware support, ASUS collaborated with Adobe to provide digital creatives who purchase eligible ASUS products a complimentary membership to Adobe Creative Cloud.
