Computex 2026 has officially started in Taipei, marking a major advancement in the development of AI-enabled hardware. Among the notable announcements is Asus’ latest range of ProArt creator PCs. While the sleek new designs are eye-catching, the real highlight lies in the powerful internal components. The ProArt P16 and ProArt P14 are among the first Windows machines to feature Nvidia’s new RTX Spark superchip.
Asus ProArt P16 & ProArt P14 Specifications
For those keeping up with the AI PC trend, it’s clear that the main challenge in running complex AI models locally has been memory and processing power. Nvidia’s RTX Spark appears to be designed to overcome these limitations. The chip combines a 20-core Nvidia Grace CPU with a Blackwell-architecture RTX GPU (equipped with 6,144 CUDA cores and FP4 Tensor Cores). These components are connected via Nvidia’s NVLink-C2C interconnect, enabling the system to support up to 128GB of unified memory.
This unified memory architecture is a game-changer for Windows PCs. It allows the system to allocate large amounts of RAM to the GPU, which is essential for running large language models (LLMs) without relying on cloud services. Asus claims that these devices can handle 120-billion-parameter LLMs with a context window of up to one million tokens. For creative professionals, the hardware is capable of handling 12K video editing, rendering 90GB 3D scenes, and generating 4K AI video directly on the device.
Software developers are also showing interest in this new architecture. Adobe is reportedly reworking Photoshop and Premiere Pro from the ground up to take full advantage of the RTX Spark, according to Asus. This is expected to result in double the performance for AI and graphics tasks.
Design and Features
In terms of design, Asus has refined the chassis of the ProArt P16 and ProArt P14. The 16-inch model and 14-inch variant are CNC-milled and available in standard black or a new Neo White finish. Both models are slightly more portable than their predecessors, with the P16 being 13% thinner and 16% lighter.
Both laptops come with Asus’ Lumina Pro OLED panels, which have an anti-reflective coating and can reach a peak brightness of 1,600 nits. The 16-inch model features a 4K panel with a 120Hz variable refresh rate and Nvidia G-Sync support, while the 14-inch version uses a 3K display. Asus has also included haptic trackpads and maximized the battery capacity to 99.9 Wh.
Pricing and Availability
Asus has not yet announced the pricing for the new ProArt P16 and P14. However, given the inclusion of 128GB of unified memory and the advanced Nvidia silicon, it is reasonable to expect these machines to be positioned at the higher end of the market when they become available this fall.
In other news, Asus has also unveiled a 24.5-inch esports monitor featuring a blazing-fast 540Hz Tandem OLED panel and a 0.02ms response time.
