Overview
- ASUS began taking preorders Wednesday, Oct. 7 for the ProArt P14 and P16, listing the entry P14 at $2,599.99 and the entry P16 at $2,799.99 while Best Buy shows an Oct. 16 ship date for those base models.
- Both entry laptops ship with 24GB of unified memory, an 18‑core NVIDIA Grace CPU and a Blackwell RTX GPU with 5,120 cores for the listed SKUs, but ASUS also advertises premium configurations that reach 128GB of unified memory and higher CPU/GPU counts.
- RTX Spark’s unified memory means the CPU and GPU draw from one shared pool so larger models and more assets can sit on a single machine instead of splitting RAM and VRAM, a change that affects how much local generative work a laptop can hold.
- ASUS bundles on-device tools and agent integrations such as MuseTree, Hermes skill from Nous Research, ComfyUI workflows and Zenni Claw to let agents coordinate model selection, asset management and repeatable creative pipelines without mandatory cloud calls.
- The company plans a compact ProArt GR1X desktop with 64GB and 128GB options later this year and lists premium laptop SKUs on its store that were shown out of stock on Oct. 7, so buyers should prioritize memory choice for their target models and workflows.
