What is true of this model and changes how you fix it
- Official specificationsAMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (12 cores/24 threads, up to 5.1GHz, 50 TOPS NPU). GPU options up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 (also 4070/5070/5070 Ti). Up to 64GB LPDDR5x. 16in 4K OLED 16:10 'ASUS Lumina Pro' display, listed on NVIDIA's official Studio-laptop marketplace.
- Tier — CREATOR laptop (Windows 11)A creator-focused Windows 11 laptop — a powerful discrete NVIDIA GPU, a color-accurate OLED touchscreen, and an NPU for AI, tuned for content creation (video, 3D, photo). Integrated + discrete graphics.
- Creator featuresIt ships with the ASUS Dial/controls and calibrated display for creative apps; force demanding apps to the NVIDIA GPU and plug in for full performance. Studio drivers suit creative stability over gaming drivers.
- OLED care & thermalsOLED can show temporary image retention that clears; sustained heavy renders spin the fans and warm it — expected.
- What owners run intoUSB devices that are not recognized, usually a cable or power-saving issue, a display that does not wake from a hub and battery life that varies with the GPU mode.
- How to approach a faultTest the device on another port and computer, disable USB power saving and update the chipset and BIOS through MyASUS.
- Color and displayThe OLED panel is factory calibrated; keep the color profile when you reinstall Windows.
- SupportASUS support provides drivers, MyASUS diagnostics and warranty service with the serial number from the base.
- Color, storage and expansionThe P16's color-accurate OLED is supported by a calibration profile that should be kept when you reinstall Windows. Storage is on M.2 drives that may be upgradeable, though opening the machine during warranty needs care. External displays connect over USB-C or HDMI, and a Thunderbolt-class dock adds ports. Creative apps use the discrete graphics card, so check Windows graphics settings to confirm that each app uses it, and keep the NVIDIA Studio driver updated for stability.

Exact questions
Questions that only have an answer for the ASUS ProArt P16 H7606
My creative apps aren't using the graphics card on my ASUS ProArt P16.+
Force the app to the discrete NVIDIA GPU: Windows Settings › System › Display › Graphics (add the app, set High performance) and/or the NVIDIA Control Panel, and plug in the charger so the GPU runs at full power. For creative stability, install the NVIDIA Studio driver branch rather than the Game Ready one. Also confirm the app's own preferences select the NVIDIA GPU for rendering. That switch is the usual fix for slow exports/renders on a creator laptop.
What fixes a USB port that does nothing?+
A data cable and disabling USB selective suspend.
Where do I get drivers?+
MyASUS and ASUS's support page.
Is the screen calibrated?+
Yes, at the factory.
How do I find the serial number?+
On the base.
