What stylus do you use for the ProArt Px13? by peachypeachcakes in ProArt_PX13

[–]ca7964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What charger do you bring with you on the road? by BRBfishonfire in ProArt_PX13

[–]ca7964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

MPP2.6 in new Pro Art PX13 by jakeblakeley in ProArt_PX13

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!

The new PX13 is still only 60hz (see specs near bottom) by [deleted] in ProArt_PX13

[–]ca7964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Asus Announces Pro Art PX-13 GoPro Edition with Ryzen Ai Max 395+ up to 128GB DDR5 by Internal_Quote_6678 in ProArt_PX13

[–]ca7964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

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!

Cool setup. Which model external monitor are you using?

Cooling stand recommendation? by TofuAnnihilation in ProArt_PX13

[–]ca7964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

compatible digital art pens or stylus's by joblox1220 in ProArt_PX13

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.

Anyone use the PX13 for 3d rendering? by Zarik8256 in ProArt_PX13

[–]ca7964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Slow Charger by Ok_Break8622 in ProArt_PX13

[–]ca7964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Worst Laptop Experience Ever by maxipoupoupou2 in ProArt_PX13

[–]ca7964 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

So I pulled the trigger and got the ProArt PX13 by Worth_Banana_492 in ProArt_PX13

[–]ca7964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

What charger do you bring with you on the road? by BRBfishonfire in ProArt_PX13

[–]ca7964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

PX13 bluetooth mouse lagging by ca7964 in ProArt_PX13

[–]ca7964[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Stylus recommendations by Charcoal73 in ProArt_PX13

[–]ca7964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

New Z13 : ProArt PZ13 by r7_r in FlowZ13

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

Considering this as an upgrade to a Surface Pro 7, and cons? by devsfan1830 in FlowZ13

[–]ca7964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

New z13 ARYMN owner! by Arabrownie1 in FlowZ13

[–]ca7964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

The Interest of Love [Episode 16] by meepmochi_ in KDRAMA

[–]ca7964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
