ASUS revealed a set of the latest laptops in the week with creators in mind. Designers and illustrators that’ve used ASUS ScreenPad in any laptop over the past few years will find the expanded space and features appearing appealing with the newest release. Then there’s the ASUS Dial, an actual physical dial control that’ll appear first within the high-end ASUS ProArt Studio book Pro 16 OLED (and yes, the word “pro” is therein the device’s title twice).
