ASUS has announced the new ProArt P16 and ProArt P14 laptops powered by NVIDIA RTX Spark, bringing advanced local AI computing, professional content creation and high-performance graphics to slim and portable Windows PCs in the UAE.
Designed for creators, AI developers and gamers, the new ProArt machines combine NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture and RTX technologies with ASUS’ creator-focused software ecosystem. The laptops are designed to support demanding AI workloads locally, reducing reliance on cloud processing for a range of creative and development tasks.
NVIDIA RTX Spark Brings High-Performance AI to Slim PCs
At the heart of the new ProArt laptops is the NVIDIA RTX Spark superchip, which combines an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 cores, an NVIDIA Grace CPU with up to 20 cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores supporting FP4 precision. The components are connected through NVIDIA’s NVLink-C2C chip-to-chip interconnect.
According to NVIDIA and ASUS, RTX Spark can deliver up to one petaflop of AI performance and support up to 128GB of high-bandwidth unified memory. The configuration is aimed at demanding local AI applications, allowing users to run increasingly sophisticated models and workflows directly on their computers.
Local AI processing can also provide practical benefits for creators and developers. Running workloads on-device can reduce dependence on usage-based cloud services, while keeping prompts, files and creative assets locally stored. It can also allow users to customise their AI workflows around specific models, tools and tasks.
ASUS Expands Its AI-Creator Ecosystem
ASUS is pairing the RTX Spark hardware with a broader software ecosystem designed around generative and agentic AI workflows.
The ProArt range includes ASUS applications that bring local AI capabilities directly into creative processes. MuseTree supports local image generation using models including FLUX and WAN, allowing users to create content without relying on cloud-based token systems. StoryCube uses AI-powered scene recognition and media organisation to help users manage their creative assets.
ASUS is also positioning the ProArt platform as a hybrid environment that combines local RTX-accelerated processing with cloud-based creative services. The company highlights integration with Adobe Creative Cloud, while eligible ASUS laptops will also receive access to an exclusive Google AI bundle.
The company is further developing workflows around ComfyUI, an open-source platform for generative AI. ASUS says its applications, including Zenni Claw and MuseTree, are designed to demonstrate how AI agents can work across different stages of content creation, from generation and editing to asset management.
ProArt P16 and P14 Focus on Portability
The ProArt P16 and P14 are the first ProArt laptops built around NVIDIA RTX Spark. ASUS has focused on maintaining high performance while keeping the systems thin and lightweight.
The ProArt P16 measures just 12.9mm thick and weighs 1.77kg. ASUS describes it as the thinnest 16-inch RTX Spark laptop and the thinnest 16-inch ProArt model to date. Compared with the previous generation, the new P16 is 14% thinner and 9% lighter.
The P16 also features a 99Wh battery, while the P14 comes with a 90Wh battery aimed at supporting extended creative sessions away from a power outlet.
At 13.9mm thick and 1.48kg, the ProArt P14 is the lightest ProArt laptop ASUS has produced. Its compact design is aimed at mobile creators who need substantial computing capability without carrying a heavier workstation-class laptop.
Lumina Pro OLED Displays Target Professional Creators
Both laptops feature ASUS Lumina Pro OLED display technology, with Delta E < 1 colour accuracy for professional visual work.
The ProArt P16 supports resolutions of up to 4K with a 120Hz refresh rate, variable refresh rate technology and NVIDIA G-SYNC. The smaller ProArt P14 offers up to 3K resolution.
ASUS says the displays can reach up to 1,600 nits of brightness and feature anti-reflection technology. These specifications are intended to support colour-sensitive editing, rendering, content creation and AI-assisted development.
Creator-Focused Design and Connectivity
Beyond their internal hardware, the new ProArt laptops feature a design intended around everyday creative workflows.
ASUS is offering the systems in Nano Black and Neo White finishes, while a broad selection of ports is designed to reduce the need for adapters and dongles. A precision haptic touchpad provides tactile feedback during navigation and creative work.
The combination of CNC-manufactured construction, large batteries and high-resolution OLED displays is intended to give creators a balance between workstation-style capabilities and mobile usability.
ASUS Zenbook 14 Expands the AI Laptop Range
Alongside the new ProArt models, ASUS is also highlighting the Zenbook 14 as a portable everyday laptop with AI-enhanced performance.
The Zenbook 14 features an all-metal design and a Ceraluminum lid available in Komodo Coral, Arctic Blue and Zabriskie Beige. Depending on the configuration, the laptop is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon X, Intel Core Ultra Series 3 or AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processors.
An OLED display, long battery life and comprehensive connectivity are combined with AI-focused features for productivity, creative work and collaboration.
UAE Availability
The Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered ASUS Zenbook 14 is already available in the UAE. ASUS expects the Intel- and AMD-powered Zenbook 14 configurations to arrive in October 2026.
The new ProArt P16 and ProArt P14 laptops powered by NVIDIA RTX Spark are also expected to launch in the UAE in October 2026.
ASUS says UAE customers will also have access to ownership support services, including ASUS Perfect Warranty and ASUS Registration, which provides access to selected offers and services.
With the ProArt P16 and P14, ASUS is expanding its creator laptop portfolio into a new generation of local AI computing, combining NVIDIA RTX Spark hardware with OLED displays, portable designs and software designed for increasingly AI-driven creative workflows.
