You may have heard of the phrase ‘a bad workman blames his tools’, and we all know the struggles of using an inefficient laptop to complete intensive tasks.

The first of these is the display on the ProArt Studiobook Pro 16, which the company claims is aimed at creative professionals. As soon as you boot up for the first time, you can tell this is a crisp, 16-inch OLED HDR panel with a 4K UHD resolution of 3840x2400.
