Computer Hoy’s review of the ASUS ProArt P16 H7607 found strong results in a Llama 3.1 8B test, alongside battery, fan-noise and gaming trade-offs. Those observations came from one configuration: a 20-core RTX Spark N1X with 128 GB of memory and a 2 TB SSD, which the reviewer used for more than two weeks. The review was published November 5, 2026.
What the Llama 3.1 8B results show
For its reviewed ProArt P16, Computer Hoy reported a 0.48-second time to first token, an overall rate of 46.2 tokens per second, and 53.5 tokens per second in the Creative Writing workload. Tokens per second measures how quickly a model generates text. These figures describe the review’s Llama 3.1 8B runs on that specific 20-core, 128 GB, 2 TB system.
| Metric | Reported result | Unit |
| Time to first token | 0.48 | seconds |
| Overall throughput | 46.2 | tokens per second |
| Creative Writing throughput | 53.5 | tokens per second |
ETA PRIME’s separate English-language video demonstrates memory allocation, including an example assigning 96 GB to the GPU, as well as power and fan controls. Those are demonstrations from the video, not another run of Computer Hoy’s benchmark.
Treat the AI figures as results for the tested 128 GB configuration; the day-to-day experience also changes with the power mode and workload.
Battery, fan noise and heat depend on the workload
Computer Hoy reported that its unit lasted about a full workday in Balanced mode and more than eight hours in Efficiency mode. The review described the fan as nearly silent in Efficiency mode, audible in Balanced mode and quite loud at maximum performance. It also reported that the laptop got hot during gaming.
That pattern matters if you plan to use the laptop away from an outlet: the longest reported runtime came in Efficiency mode, while heavier use brought more heat and fan noise. Computer Hoy also reported that the included 140 W charger brought its unit to full charge in about an hour.
Gaming results vary by title
Computer Hoy reported at least 60 frames per second in Age of Mythology: Retold and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. Its reviewer said Cyberpunk 2077 did not run well at high resolution on the tested system. Taken together, those observations make the P16’s gaming performance a title-specific question, rather than a simple extension of its local-AI results.
The reported US price was for a different configuration
GfxSpeak reported a price of $4,399.99 for a ProArt P16 configuration with 64 GB of LPDDR5X memory and a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. Its article was published October 22, 2026, and cited the ASUS website for the price. That dated US figure applies to the 64 GB/1 TB configuration, not Computer Hoy’s 128 GB/2 TB review unit.
Individual Linux and display reports
Linux accounts describe separate experiences on different models. One user reported running Arch Linux ARM on a ProArt P14 after making local ACPI-table patches and other software adjustments. A commenter described Linux running on a ProArt P16 but reported a keyboard-backlight problem. Another P16 commenter said the spacebar missed presses near its edges and that they returned the laptop.
In a separate account, one ProArt P16 owner reported that graphics flicker was “OK” after testing an NVIDIA driver update. These are individual user experiences: the reported outcome belongs to that owner, and the P14 account concerns a different model.
