Summary
ASUS opened global preorders for ProArt P16 and P14 laptops on October 7, with U.S. shipments starting October 16 and prices beginning at $2,599.99.
The new systems — plus the ProArt GR1X mini PC due later this year — target local agentic AI with NVIDIA RTX Spark, offering up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and up to 128GB of unified memory.
ASUS is pitching the lineup as a private, token-free alternative to cloud AI, letting creators and developers run larger models, image and video workflows, and autonomous agents on-device or offline.
Partnerships with ComfyUI and Nous Research's Hermes Agent, alongside ASUS apps such as MuseTree and StoryCube, are meant to give users a ready-made local workflow and agent ecosystem.
The launch also broadens ASUS's AI hardware stack from creator PCs to enterprise systems built on GeForce RTX 50, NVIDIA DGX Spark and DGX Station platforms.
