Asus ProArt Creation 16 with Ryzen AI 9 and RTX 5070 hits China for $3,413

Asus has released a new configuration of the ProArt Creation 16 laptop in China, targeting creators who need high-end mobile workstations without sacrificing portability. This update matters because it pairs a powerful new AMD processor with a dedicated NVIDIA RTX 5070 Laptop GPU in a chassis that remains thin and light. Buyers looking for a capable alternative to Apple's MacBook Pro now have a specific hardware benchmark to consider in the Chinese market.
