ASUS ProArt PX13 vs Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2: Comparison
ASUS ProArt PX13 vs Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 refresh rate compared
The gap that matters here is refresh rate: ASUS ProArt PX13 120 Hz against Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 360 Hz, which puts Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 67% ahead. Add vram to that, 6 GB on the ASUS ProArt PX13 versus 16 GB on the Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2, and the pattern holds.
Who each one is for
The ASUS ProArt PX13 is the one to take for creators wanting portability plus a discrete GPU, though it is not built for RAM or storage upgraders. The Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 suits color-critical creative work at high refresh and buyers who want RAM/storage headroom, though it is not the pick for portability-focused buyers. Our rating of the ASUS ProArt PX13 (8.6/10): the ProArt PX13 pairs a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 with RTX 40 series graphics, 32GB of LPDDR5X and a 13.3 inch 2880 by 1800 OLED touchscreen at 120Hz. At 1.5 kg with a 70Wh battery and USB4, it is a strong portable choice for creators who need a dedicated GPU. The RAM is soldered and the single 1TB SSD slot is already filled, so neither can be upgraded. There is also no Thunderbolt, only USB4.
