- Asus ProArt GoPro Edition combines a convertible design with compact portability
- Dial control improves precision when editing image and video workflows
- Backlit keyboard ensures usability in low-light environments for field content creation
Asus has announced plans to reveal a new ProArt GoPro Edition laptop at CES 2026, aimed at content creators working with 360-degree media and action cameras.
The launch is scheduled for January 6, 2026, during Asus’ CES livestream, although the company has not yet shared full specifications.
Early developments point to a focus on portability and creative workflow integration rather than raw performance benchmarks.
Asus ProArt GoPro Edition focuses on portability and creative workflow
Asus ProArt GoPro Edition uses a convertible design that allows users to switch between laptop and tablet modes.
The teaser shows a compact keyboard layout without a dedicated number pad, suggesting a smaller screen, probably around 13.3 inches, similar to the Asus PX13 line.
It also shows off hinges that run along the long edge of the device and allow the screen to rotate a full 360 degrees.
As the screen rotates past the keyboard, the device transitions from a standard business laptop to a flat tablet-style design, confirming that it is a 2-in-1 convertible rather than a detachable design.
The hinge appears to hold tension at multiple angles, suggesting support for laptop, tent, and tablet modes rather than a single fixed position.
The movement appears continuous rather than segmented, which is typical of the full-rotation hinges used on convertible laptops.
The laptop will also include a dedicated dial control that can improve precision in image and video editing workflows.
Backlit keys improve usability in low-light environments, which can help creators working in multiple locations.
Asus also revealed the integration of the StoryCube app for Windows as a main feature of the new laptop.
StoryCube connects directly to GoPro Cloud and supports 360-degree content, allowing users to preview and manage native .360 files stored locally or online.
The app also uses AI to organize clips by activity, time, device, and GPS-based location metadata from GoPro cameras.
StoryCube can act as an interface for importing selected footage into editing software, simplifying workflows for users who regularly handle high-resolution action footage.
The ProArt GoPro Edition is expected to include a dedicated GPU, although details on the processor and memory are not yet confirmed.
The company is bundling the device with GoPro Premium+ deals for select laptop models, including up to a six-month subscription on ProArt systems and discounts on additional equipment.
These incentives suggest that it is aimed at professional creators who value portability and specialized workflow support over raw computing power.
Compared to typical creator devices, the device appears to use a fairly rugged design and could easily pass for a rugged laptop based on the teaser images.
Its compact size and convertible form may appeal to professionals who need a laptop for outdoor editing.
Early indications suggest it could be a good fit for content creators, although final performance and usability will depend on specifications revealed during CES 2026.
