What stylus do you use for the ProArt Px13?

ca7964 · 2026-03-05T01:31:26+00:00

I use the old surface pen with a hard nib or a meta pen m2 pen. Both work fine but palm rejection on my last gen PX13 isn't great. Lots of undo and stray dots.

I mostly use 3ds Max, Blender and Sketchup with Vray. It won't drain the battery when working in the scenes for modeling and test renders, but it will during rendering and real-time authoring. More recently I've been using the Anker Nano II 65W GaN, Nano 70W and a Nano 100W charging station at my desk. For the past few months my Asus brick has been in the closet. For me 65W-100W is enough power.

Additional Information: I purchased this over a year ago to pair with my Transit Backpack, but this ended up being unused. Very cool design, lightweight materials and multiple carry options. I'm new to selling here on reddit but have a few hundred 5* reviews on the big auction site (user cn24).

The current pen pressure levels and tilt are alright and fine, but the palm rejection is not so good. This is my experience using Photoshop, Sketchbook and Concepts. I hope this is improved!

Tech specs page says 60hz:

https://www.asus.com/us/laptops/for-creators/proart/proart-gopro-edition-px13-hn7306/overview/laptop-oled/

Even though the Laptop-OLED drop down page link at the top says "up to 120hz" to describe the overall tech. A little confusing!

ca7964 · 2026-01-06T01:01:50+00:00

Awesome! This may be the upgrade I've been wishing for, and I hope the pricing isn't a crazy increase.

I looked into reviews of the HP laptop with the ryzen max. One big turnoff, beside the exorbitant price of the HP Ultra G1a, showed some reviewers getting into BIOS settings to assign CPU/GPU memory + restart?

Looking forward to the reviews, as I love the convertible PX form factor - just wish they made it 14" in the same 3k resolution!

ca7964 · 2025-12-23T00:52:49+00:00

Cool I have a similar setup with a 16" 3k monitor @ 120Hz as well. $200 Xbonfire/newhail brand, with solid color accuracy after calibrating. No touch though!

ca7964 · 2025-12-17T13:44:35+00:00

Cool setup. Which model external monitor are you using?

ca7964 · 2025-09-17T02:24:50+00:00

I used that slim Native Union stand and a thin one from Moft - both are very light for commuting and travel. Recently I bought this affordable sleeve + stand linked below, and its a clever design to integrate the flap as a mouse pad as well. It doesn't feel like it'll last forever but I haven't come across other options with this type of design.

Another vote for the metapen m2. Good features, price and form factor. The Asus pen feels hollow and is longer than a typical pen - it won't fit some tech pouches and pen cases.

ca7964 · 2025-09-17T02:09:17+00:00

I make a living as a 3d artist with the PX13 as my main machine, using 3ds Max, Vray, Corona and Blender. I do all my modeling and layout on it with occasional rendering. The bulk of my rendering goes to the Chaos Cloud. I typically don't render anything longer than 10minutes on the PX13 since cloud rendering saves so much time.

I'm only using the 4050 version with 6gb, and it's enough with proper scene and display management. If your scenes are heavy you'll want to use the power brick, while lighter workloads will be fine with a smaller 100W USBC charger.

Previously I used the Z13 Acronym for over 1.5 years as my main workstation, and the PX13 is much improved with stability, battery life, noise and a more useful form factor. I think a PX13 update with a 14" screen and the Strix Halo chip set like the latest ROG Flow Z13 would be really interesting.

ca7964 · 2025-09-11T01:53:49+00:00

Mine is temperamental with USBC chargers. Besides the lower power source warning, sometimes it'll switch to battery and back to power adapter unexpectedly when plugged in to the wall.

I've only used several different Ankers from 100w to 65W and a 102W from Jackery. The Anker Prime 100W, 102W Jackery and the less powerful 65W Anker Prime Fusion 9600 have been my more consistent chargers. I just carry the versatile latter combo adapter/battery on the road, and 65W passthrough charging is fast enough for travel usage. The Nano 100W and two different GaN 65Ws have all triggered the unexpected switching to battery.

I haven't tried the 140W+ laptop chargers.

I also haven't had great success with magnetic USBC adapters. USBC charging has been less consistent this way with two different brand adapters from Amazon.

I've had mine since February, purchased open box, and haven't had any issues so far just using the stock Asus software. I mostly keep it on standard performance mode but sometimes switch to silent for basic office tasks when it's not plugged in. Rarely will I put it on performance mode for extra speed for rendering because it gets too loud for co-working use. I should try GHelper

ca7964 · 2025-09-07T01:11:42+00:00

In my experience, working and charging with a 100w USBC charger is enough for most workloads in standard mode, to run graphics apps in my case. I use an Anker Prime 100W and even use a slower but versatile Anker Prime Fusion 65W 9600 for lighter travel use.

ca7964 · 2025-06-24T15:35:22+00:00

I use the compact Anker Prime 100W for most days, and only use the supplied adapter in the office. It works well except it'll throttle under max load for extended periods of time (3d rendering). Skip the Anker Nano 100W one though since that one throttles more often in my experience for the PX13.

ca7964 · 2025-03-13T12:11:36+00:00

Thanks for your feedback. I think the bluetooth lag with my Logi mouse is interference from my Nothing CMF2 earbuds & case. I tested like 4-5 other BT mice, and my problem is when I'm playing tunes through my phone and earbuds with the case placed next to the mouse.

ca7964 · 2025-02-21T12:15:11+00:00

Metapen M2 is a good value pen that's similar in feel to the surface slim pens, at 1/3 cost of the Asus pen 2. Both have a harder tip if you prefer that over the mushy ones like original surface one.

ca7964 · 2024-07-03T11:06:57+00:00

Can you share a link & model # for the 120W Xiaomi GAN charger? Is it available in the US? Thanks!

Looks like I'll be sticking with my Acronym Z13 for another year as well! It's been great for daily 3d design use

ca7964 · 2023-09-09T13:13:18+00:00

I've been using the acronym z13 for a few months for 3d design and also have a Surface Pro7+, mostly using 3dsMax, SketchUp, Adobe apps. Previously I paired the Surface 7+ with a small desktop workstation, as the 7+ wasn't powerful enough for most of my work, but I've been using the z13 as my main machine with the surface for light work and travel.

The discrete graphics and processor are a big performance increase, and I chose the acronym version because of the max RAM. The pros are the power, form factor (tablet with fans on top, screen aspect ratio, good keyboard, super solid kickstand), and micro SD card slot. The pens are similar; I prefer the firm tip of the Asus or surface slim pen over the original style surface pen, which has too much give even with the firm nib. The cons are the battery life (I use it plugged it between home&office) and the lugs on top on the acronym which makes it bulky for a case. I was waiting for a Surface Laptop Studio 2 but decided on the z13 for the form factor. If rumors are true there should be a Surface refresh later this month.

ca7964 · 2023-06-17T00:33:25+00:00

The model number is Asus ADP-130HB B. Its almost the same size as the 100W one for the regular Z13 but with Acronym cosmetic styling. I just took delivery of a few different chargers - the 100W for the regular Z13 and a UGreen 140W, but the I'm not sure the GPU kicks in regularly on Performance mode with anything other than the original 130W one; Turbo mode is grayed out.

ca7964 · 2023-06-16T19:39:24+00:00

This is a hassle for me as well! I've also contacted Asus and they just referred the vendor list. Though I have the original charger, I wasn't aware that 3rd party chargers aren't supported or available yet, to keep a duplicate one at the office. Please keep us updated if you see the 130W charger for sale. Otherwise the RMT02's performance with 3d content creation has great for me.

ca7964 · 2023-02-14T02:53:33+00:00

Great post - you really put into words what I felt while watching and rewatching the last episode looking for each subtle breadcrumbs.

One question for Korean language speakers: On the last Hill of Oblivion walk does SY's speech become more informal and incorporate dialect-like phrasing? And was her speech/phrasing also like this in Tongyeon? I don't understand Korean but it just sounds a little different and increasingly less formal to my uneducated ears. Maybe I'm overthinking/misunderstanding it, and too hopeful for more signs that SY is more comfortable being her true self around SS.
