Asus’ New ProArt Laptops Can Run 120B Parameter AI Locally

Asus has unveiled the ProArt P16 and ProArt P14 laptops following their initial reveal at Computex 2026. Both computers incorporate Nvidia's latest RTX Spark platform, which merges an Arm-based Grace CPU with a Blackwell RTX GPU, enabling the direct execution of heavy AI tasks on the device. With support for up to 128GB of unified memory, the RTX Spark platform grants the CPU and GPU access to a shared memory pool.

The Grace CPU provides up to 20 cores, while the Blackwell GPU boasts up to 6,144 CUDA cores. Asus claims this platform can generate up to 1 petaflop of FP4 AI performance and execute large language models with up to 120 billion parameters and a 1-million-token context window locally, without the need for cloud-based processing.

Designed for demanding workloads like complex 3D rendering, 12K video editing, and generative AI, the system is also compact, weighing between 1.48kg and 1.77kg for the respective models. The ProArt P16 and P14 laptops feature OLED displays with 120Hz variable refresh rates, 100% DCI-P3 color coverage, and peak HDR brightness up to 1,600 nits.

These devices also include Wi-Fi 7, USB4, and large batteries, as well as built-in AI tools like MuseTree, StoryCube, and Hermes Agent. Pricing begins at $2,599.99, with pre-orders starting on October 7 and deliveries starting on October 16.
