ASUS Opens Global Preorders For ProArt Laptops With NVIDIA RTX Spark
RTX Spark puts a Grace CPU and Blackwell RTX GPU on one package with shared unified memory, which sets what creator laptops at these prices are being asked to do locally: 120-billion-parameter LLM inference, 90GB-plus 3D scenes, and 4K AI video generation without a cloud bill.

ASUS has opened global preorders for its ProArt P14 and P16 creator laptops built around NVIDIA's RTX Spark chip, announced at IFA 2026. US pricing runs from about $2,600 (roughly 410,000 yen) for a 14-inch 18-core model to about $7,000 (roughly 1.11 million yen) for a 16-inch 128GB configuration. Shipping starts October 16. Japanese availability is announced without pricing yet.
ASUS is taking preorders worldwide for the ProArt P14 and P16, the creator laptops it introduced with NVIDIA's RTX Spark at IFA 2026. Best Buy carries the cheaper 18-core configs; ASUS's own store lists the top models past $6,000.
The chip fuses an up-to-20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU with a Blackwell RTX GPU of up to 6,144 cores through NVLink-C2C, sharing one pool of unified memory up to 128GB. NVIDIA puts peak FP4 throughput at up to 1 petaflop and says WQHD AAA titles clear 100fps.
