When KitGuru toured ASUS' main office in Taipei back in December last year, we were given early access to a lot of products that would only be seen by the rest of the world at CES. Alongside the usual array of ROG/TUF components and peripherals, we were also shown many that were aimed squarely at creators. These are marketed under the ‘ProArt' brand and there are now multiple, overlapping promotions on these products, which could add up to substantial savings.
ASUS has been producing ProArt products for professional users for the best part of 20 years. While gamers tend to focus on frame rate above all else, ProArt looks to deliver colour accuracy, system stability and connectivity. That attention to detail doesn't come cheap, but there are a few promotions running right now that could help professionals get the kit they want for less, including:-
Cashback
Up to £626 available through a ‘Create with the Best' promotion over here. Worth noting that you only get the money for one qualifying product per group – so a dual GPU set up would not qualify twice.
Rate Your Gear
Certain product that are listed on the Cashback Promotion (including 5 ProArt RTX cards, from a 4060 to a 4080) are also eligible for an additional £25.
Warranty Extension
Starting 5th May, buyers of certain ProArt products will be able to register for a free warranty extension.
3 Month Adobe Subscription
Seasoned professionals will have been paying the Adobe tax for many years, but this offer could be useful if you are just starting out. This offer shows as live on the ASUS Promotions page, but some of the dates don't line up when you click for details – so if this is important to you, then check before you buy.
Right now, selected complete systems also qualify for ‘ProArt Cashback' due to their build specs, which could be useful if you think that the specifications match your needs and the price/support package is attractive. This list includes:-
- StormForce Pro Creator 0601
- Scan 3XS RTX Studio Pro
- PCSpecialist Canvas Elite
While creative products from the likes of Adobe will run on pretty much any hardware, if you need to use specific applications Autodesk, Dassault or PTC, then it will be worth checking for ISV certification before you buy a complete system – as it may need to have undergone specific testing in order to qualify. All three system builders listed here can answer those kinds of questions.

KitGuru Says: If you are in the market for serious professional products, then it can be expensive. Well worth checking if any of these ProArt deals can help make your hard-earned creator dollars go further. Offers will change from time to time – so remember to look at the qualification and redemption dates closely.
