The components are behind the display, opening cooling gills allow an overclocked eight-core and Nvidia’s Quadro RTX 6000 in the 15 – inch format.

13. 000 – Euro notebook: Asus ProArt StudioBook One with unusual cooling system cooling gills Conclusion and test table Article in c’t 3 / 2021 read PC technology behind a notebook screen is nothing new in itself – just think of them all the tablets, which in Windows 8 times mutate into a notebook with a keyboard dock. The latter are now almost extinct because this design has a massive disadvantage for mobile devices: In order for the device to be used as a notebook, the body must be heavy as a counterweight – otherwise the device will inevitably tip over backwards as soon as the lid is opened

Asus has nevertheless returned to this design for the ProArt StudioBook One, although it is not a hybrid device with tablet ambitions: In the 15, 6-inch notebook comes not only an eight-core processor from Intel (Core i9 – 9980 HK), but also the professional GPU Quadro RTX 6000 including 24 GByte GDDR6 memory – so an extremely powerful graphics chip with more shader processors than the mobile gaming flagship GeForce RTX 2080 Super.

Both high performance components – CPU and GPU – require a powerful cooling system. Because the notebook was not supposed to be bulky, the technology was moved behind the screen – whereby the lid is thicker than usual, but still slimmer than you would expect given the components housed in it.
