Confirmed: Asus ProArt 16 RTX Spark To Launch On 8 October

Asus has officially announced that its NVIDIA RTX Spark ProArt 16 laptop will be launched on October 8th. This date is a week away. The laptop is set to use an RTX Spark N1X chipset, the first of its kind, developed in collaboration with MediaTek. The chipset features 20 Grace CPU cores, 6,144 Blackwell RTX GPU cores, 5th-generation Tensor Cores, and 128GB of Unified Memory.

NVIDIA claims that the chipset delivers 1 Petaflop of FP4 performance, thanks to the NVLink-C2C interconnect links connecting each component. The ProArt 16 RTX Spark also boasts a 16-inch Lumina Pro OLED display with a 3K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut with peak brightness of 1,600 nits. Asus first introduced the ProArt 16 at IFA 2026, but it was also briefly showcased at Computex 2026.

The 14-inch model is also available, but Asus seems to be focusing on the larger 16-inch variant. Unfortunately, the laptop's pricing has not been disclosed yet and is expected to be announced on the launch day. This isn't the first RTX Spark laptop to have a confirmed launch date. Earlier this month, Microsoft also shared that it would host an event for a new Surface Laptop Ultra on October 7th, which would be October 8th in Malaysia.

Both the new Surface Laptop Ultra and the RTX Spark laptop were showcased during a tech demo session in Taipei. Microsoft also mentioned that they would be launching an RTX Spark Dev Box later in the year, but did not provide a specific date.
