Computex 2026 has been a busy time for Asus, with the PC company unveiling a hearty selection of new products across its hardware portfolio. In addition to a wide variety of celebratory 20th anniversary ROG products, as well as new Strix, Zenbook, Vivobook laptops, the company gave the public a sneak peek at a fancy new pair of notebook PCs at its show floor booth in Taipai, Taiwan: the ProArt P14 and the ProArt P16.
As with other ProArt-branded laptops, the 14-inch P14 and the 16-inch P16 are designed with creators in mind, offering a considerable amount of performance in a relatively compact form factor. What sets these two new models apart, however, is that they’re powered by Nvidia’s brand-new powerhouse ARM compute platform known as RTX Spark.
Asus also unveiled a new ProArt Mini PC with RTX Spark internals right alongside the P14 and the P16. This Mac mini-esque device measures in at 5.9 x 5.9 x 2.0-inches (150 x 150 x 51 mm), making it a potentially compelling desktop setup option for creative professionals.
We don’t know which precise variants of the Nvidia RTX Spark will make their way into these three Asus ProArt devices, nor do we have a price range or release window to go by at the moment. On the laptop side, we do know that the products are made of machined aluminum, that they can be had in either nano black or neo white colorways, and that they’ll be thin and lightweight by laptop workstation standards.
Nvidia’s RTX Spark computing platform looks promising
Pushing the Windows 11 PC ecosystem to a new frontier
RTX Spark, previously known by its codenames of N1 and N1X, is a milestone system on a chip (SOC) release made in partnership between Nvidia, MediaTek, Microsoft, and Arm. At its highest end, the chipset features up to 20 CPU cores, up to 6,144 RTX GPU cores, up to a Petaflop of FP4 AI performance, and up to 128 GB of unified LPDDR5X RAM memory.
The power contained within the RTX Spark promises to unlock a new era of on-device agentic AI feature sets, all of which can be built out and leveraged by software developers. Gaming performance should also be solid given Nvidia’s historical GPU prowess, and the company’s CEO Jensen Huang even went on record during Nvidia’s Computex 2026 keynote saying that every Windows 11 application and game should be compatible with the platform without problems.
Asus isn’t the only PC maker to announce new Nvidia RTX Spark-powered Windows 11 computers, either. Microsoft unveiled its much-hyped Surface Laptop Ultra, and we also have the Dell XPS 16, the HP OmniBook X 14 and the Ultra 16, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9n, the MSI Prestige N16 Flip AI and the EdgeMesa N AI+ Mini PC all in the product release pipeline.
