Summary

  • ASUS introduced three ProArt AI creator systems at IFA 2026 — the P16 and P14 laptops and GR1X mini PC — and is showing hands-on demos at its media showroom.
  • NVIDIA RTX Spark underpins the lineup with a Blackwell RTX GPU, 6,144 CUDA cores and a 20-core Grace CPU, aimed at on-device AI work with private local data instead of cloud dependence.
  • P16 and P14 are billed as the thinnest ProArt laptops with RTX performance, adding up to 99Wh batteries and Lumina Pro OLED displays with Delta E below 1, 1,600-nit peak brightness and 120Hz refresh rates.
  • GR1X packages that AI focus into a 150 x 150 x 51 mm mini PC built for 24/7 workloads, extending ASUS's ProArt push from mobile creator machines to compact desktop deployments.
