Launch details
This is the 2026 generation of the ProArt PX13 (model HN7306), a 13.3-inch 2-in-1 for creators that replaces the earlier Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 model with Nvidia graphics. In the US, the Ryzen AI Max+ 388 version with 32GB of memory and 512GB of storage lists at $1,899.99 (PCWorld saw it at $1,699.99 at Best Buy). Ryzen AI Max+ 395 versions with 64GB start at $2,999, and the top 128GB/2TB model costs over $3,500, according to Ultrabookreview. A GoPro Edition has the same hardware, with a textured lid, special branding and bundled accessories. Reviews started to appear in February 2026.
What reviewers agree on
- Performance: Notebookcheck measured 30–50% more multi-core performance than the previous HX 370 model with the Ryzen AI Max+ 395.
- Graphics: the integrated Radeon 8060S performs close to an RTX 4070 laptop GPU, per Notebookcheck.
- Display: the 2880 × 1800 OLED touchscreen is sharp and accurate; Notebookcheck measured a ΔE of 1.1 and almost full DCI-P3 coverage.
- Build and ports: reviewers praise the sturdy chassis and wide choice of ports, including two 40Gbps USB-C, USB-A, HDMI 2.1 and a microSD reader.
- Refresh rate: Notebookcheck and Ultrabookreview both see the 60Hz screen as dated at this price.

Verdict
The 2026 ProArt PX13 is one of the most powerful 13-inch laptops you can buy, and a rare convertible that can handle serious photo, video and AI work. Ultrabookreview sees the Max+ 388 version as the best value. If you mainly need long battery life and a quiet machine, a MacBook Air or the Dell XPS 13 covered in our analysis will suit you better.
