ASUS has launched its most powerful ProArt P16 in the UAE, now with up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. It arrives alongside a new partnership with GoPro aimed at speeding up capture-to-edit workflows, including GoPro Cloud integration in ASUS’s StoryCube app and an exclusive GoPro Premium+ subscription offer for ASUS laptop buyers. Local availability starts 16 October.
ProArt P16: spec bump for serious edits
The ProArt P16 steps up to RTX 5090 graphics and Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, built to handle high-res and 360° video workflows with an OLED display tuned for colour-critical work.
- Up to AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU and GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU
- ASUS Lumina Pro OLED: 1600-nit peak, 120 Hz VRR, anti-reflection
- Pitched for GoPro True 8K 360° footage and real-time rendering
- On sale in the UAE from 16 October via ASUS eShop and retail
The top-end RTX 5090 configuration targets heavy timelines, stabilisation and reframing overhead, and AI-assisted effects. The OLED panel’s high brightness and refresh rate should help with HDR previews and smooth scrubbing, while anti-reflective coating is handy for on-location edits in Dubai sun. The launch date for the UAE is 16 October, covering the ASUS eShop and local retailers.

StoryCube now talks to GoPro Cloud (and 360°)
StoryCube becomes the first Windows app to integrate GoPro Cloud with full 360° media support, letting you preview, download and reframe inside one place.
- First Windows integration for GoPro Cloud media
- 360° preview + reframing via GoPro Player
- Drag-and-drop to Premiere Pro and CapCut
- AI scene recognition trained on GoPro activities
If you shoot on GoPro MAX/MAX2, you can reframe key moments and send them straight into your editor of choice. StoryCube’s AI tags footage by activity, device and even location hints, so that dune bash in Al Qudra or waves in Fujairah are easier to sort before you touch your NLE. It’s a quality-of-life upgrade that cuts the usual shuffle between import tools and editors.
GoPro Premium+ bundle for ASUS laptop buyers
ASUS is bundling GoPro Premium+ for UAE customers — six months for ProArt Creator Series, three months for Zenbook/Vivobook — plus discounted ASUS Premium Care.
- ProArt Creator Series: 6 months GoPro Premium+
- Zenbook/Vivobook: 3 months GoPro Premium+
- Perks: unlimited GoPro Cloud storage, 500 GB for non-GoPro files, auto highlight reels
- 20% off ASUS Premium Care; up to three years accidental damage protection
For creators who shoot often, unlimited GoPro Cloud storage and automatic highlight reels reduce the manual triage. The ASUS Premium Care discount adds battery servicing and accidental damage protection, which is handy if you edit on the move. Note: this is a UAE offer tied to selected ASUS laptops.
Who this launch is for in the UAE
Action camera storytellers, travel vloggers, and production teams who need reliable 8K/360° handling and quick turnarounds.
- GoPro shooters who want end-to-end cloud + desktop workflow
- Editors cutting HDR or 8K timelines on location
- Agencies working across desert, motorsport and watersports shoots
- Anyone who prefers AI-assisted sorting before opening the NLE
The combo of StoryCube tagging, RTX 5090 horsepower and an OLED panel means shorter ingest times and fewer compromises when you’re piecing together reels for clients. If you’re mixing action cams with phones and mirrorless bodies, 500 GB extra space for non-GoPro files in Premium+ helps keep projects in one place.
