- Asus ProArt GoPro Edition combines a convertible design with compact portability
- Thumbwheel control improves precision when editing video and image workflows
- Backlit keyboard ensures ease of use in dimly lit environments for content creation in the field
Asus has announced plans to unveil a new ProArt GoPro Edition laptop at CES 2026, targeting content creators who work with action cameras and 360-degree media.
The launch is scheduled for January 6, 2026, during Asus’ CES livestream, although the company has yet to share full specifications.
Early teasers emphasize portability and creative workflow integration rather than raw performance benchmarks.
Asus ProArt GoPro Edition focuses on portability and creative workflow
The 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, which suggests a smaller screen, likely around 13.3 inches, similar to the Asus PX13 lineup.
It also shows hinges that run along the long edge of the device and allow the screen to rotate 360 degrees.
When the screen rotates in front of the keyboard, the device changes from a standard business laptop shape to a flat tablet-style layout, confirming that it’s 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 instead of a single fixed position.
The movement appears continuous rather than segmented, which is typical of the full-rotation hinges used in convertible laptops.
The laptop will also include a dedicated thumbwheel control that can improve the precision of video and image editing workflows.
Backlit keys improve usability in dimly lit environments, which can help creators working in varied locations.
Asus also revealed the integration of the Windows StoryCube app 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 location metadata from GoPro cameras.
StoryCube can serve as a front-end 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 CPU and memory are unconfirmed.
The company bundles the device with GoPro Premium+ deals for select laptop models, including up to six months of ProArt systems subscriptions and additional gear discounts.
These incentives suggest it is targeting professional creators who value portability and support for specialized workflows over raw computing power.
Compared to typical authoring devices, the device appears to use a fairly sturdy design and could easily pass for a rugged laptop based on the teaser visuals.
Its compact size and convertible form may appeal to professionals who need a laptop for on-site editing.
Early indications suggest this could be a good fit for content creators, although final performance and usability will depend on the specs revealed at CES 2026.
