ASUS ProArt RTX Spark laptops are starting to ship, bringing NVIDIA’s new local AI platform to the ProArt P14 and P16. The first US units arrive on October 16, with ASUS advertising configurations offering up to 128GB of unified memory.
The launch is part of NVIDIA’s wider RTX Spark rollout, which also includes laptops from Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, and MSI. These are Windows systems built around a Grace CPU and Blackwell RTX graphics, with CUDA support for AI and creative software.
More Memory for Local Models
The main attraction for local AI users is the shared memory. Instead of having separate pools of system RAM and dedicated graphics memory, the CPU and GPU access a unified pool.
NVIDIA’s specifications list a top laptop configuration with a 20-core Grace CPU, a 6,144-core Blackwell GPU, and support for up to 128GB of LPDDR5X memory. The laptop platform operates within a listed 45W to 80W TDP range.
That memory capacity gives larger models more room, but it does not make the whole pool available exclusively to the model. Windows, applications, model weights, and inference working memory still share the machine.
For scale, a 70-billion-parameter model needs roughly 35GB for weights alone at an idealized four bits per parameter. Actual quantized files add overhead, and the context cache needs more space. Our quantization guide explains how those smaller representations work.
NVIDIA rates the top configuration at up to one petaflop of FP4 AI performance. That is a compute specification, not a measured language-model generation speed.
Two Sizes With OLED Displays
ASUS’s product announcement lists the P16 at 1.77kg and 12.9mm thick, while the smaller P14 weighs 1.48kg and measures 13.9mm.
Both use Lumina Pro OLED displays with a 120Hz variable refresh rate. The P16 offers up to 4K resolution, while the P14 goes up to 3K.
ASUS also highlights ComfyUI and Hermes Agent integration, alongside its MuseTree generation software and StoryCube media tools. These provide workflows for local generation and agents, with optional cloud connections.
Starting Price Does Not Mean Maximum Memory
ASUS lists US starting prices of $2,599.99. That is the entry price for the laptop range, not a quoted price for a 128GB configuration.
The company says 64GB and 128GB versions will primarily be sold through ASUS and Best Buy, with 128GB models also offered through Micro Center. Configurations and availability vary by region.
