ASUS ProArt GoPro Edition PX13 Disassembly & Teardown
The video walks through a complete teardown of ASUS’s ProArt GoPro Edition PX13, a 13‑inch workstation‑class laptop aimed at creators and power users. The chassis is secured by ten Torx screws, with a hidden central screw under a rubber cap and a captive bottom‑right screw that eases panel removal. Inside, a 73 Wh battery—rated for roughly seven hours of 4K video—feeds a 16‑core Zen 5 CPU and a high‑performance integrated GPU, while a single M.2 2230 Gen 4 slot houses a tiny SSD cooled by a thermal pad. Memory is soldered, supporting up to 128 GB of 8000 MHz LPDDR5X RAM, and the Wi‑Fi 7 module is user‑replaceable. The cooling solution features two fans, four heat sinks and a network of heat pipes that manage both CPU and VRM temperatures within the slim chassis. The teardown highlights the PX13’s blend of top‑tier performance and relatively easy serviceability, signaling ASUS’s commitment to upgradable, creator‑focused hardware in a portable form factor.
