ASUS ProArt P16 and P14 are the first ASUS laptops built around NVIDIA's RTX Spark superchip

ASUS has revealed two new ProArt laptops and a new ProArt Mini PC powered by NVIDIA's RTX Spark superchip. The lineup, headlined by the ProArt P16, ProArt P14, and a new ProArt Mini PC, marks the first from ASUS built around the RTX Spark platform, a chip package that sounds more like something you would expect to find in a workstation than in a laptop.

Both laptops are aimed at creators, AI developers, and users running local AI workloads. Underneath their lightweight chassis (we'll get to that) sits NVIDIA's RTX Spark platform, which pairs a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU with a Blackwell-based RTX GPU connected via the high-speed NVLink-C2C interconnect.

Its fastest flavor, the P16, features up to 6,144 Blackwell RTX cores and a staggering 128GB of unified LPDDR5X RAM. That unified memory architecture is a big deal for Windows PCs, as it allows massive amounts of RAM to be shared with the GPU, which is exactly what you need to run large language models (LLMs) locally without relying on the cloud.

ASUS claims these machines can handle 120-billion-parameter LLMs with a context window of up to 1 million tokens. For creative professionals, the hardware is said to handle 12K video editing, render 90GB 3D scenes, and generate 4K AI video on the device. This is a different class of computing power than anything the current crop of Snapdragon X devices can offer.

As for the laptops themselves, the 16-inch ProArt P16 and 14-inch ProArt P14 are CNC-milled and available in Nano Black and Neo White finishes, featuring anti-smudge coating and haptic touchpads. Both are slimmer and lighter than their predecessors, with the P16 coming in 13% thinner and 16% lighter than its predecessor. Despite the size reduction, both include high-capacity batteries of up to 99.9 Wh for all-day longevity.

Both models use ASUS's Lumina Pro OLED panels with an anti-reflective coating, Delta E < 1 calibration, and a peak brightness of 1,600 nits. The P16 features a 4K 120Hz variable-refresh-rate panel with NVIDIA G-Sync, while the P14 uses a 3K display. ASUS is also leaning into its broader creative toolkit with Creator Hub, MuseTree, and StoryCube for AI-assisted workflows.

Pricing for the ProArt P16 and P14 has not been announced yet. The ProArt Mini PC, which also has yet to be priced, supports up to 128GB unified memory, 140W thermal headroom, 10GbE networking, and M.2 PCIe Gen5 x4 expansion. With what is on offer, these are shaping up to be ASUS's most ambitious creator laptops yet and a serious challenge to the MacBook Pro.
