Key information
ASUS has officially released the ProArt P16 and P14 laptops in Canada, with shipping commencing on October 16, 2026. These Windows PCs are designed for AI developers and creators, utilizing the NVIDIA RTX Spark platform to support demanding local AI workloads.
The RTX Spark architecture integrates an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU, an NVIDIA Grace CPU, and up to 128 GB of unified memory. This hardware enables up to 1 petaflop of FP4 AI performance, allowing users to run large language models and complex 3D scenes locally rather than relying solely on cloud services.
ASUS has integrated several software solutions to enhance productivity, including the Hermes agent for autonomous tasks and ComfyUI for visual workflow building. Preloaded applications like MuseTree and StoryCube further facilitate local generative creation and media organization, providing users with greater control over their creative intellectual property.
The P16 and P14 models feature thin CNC-machined designs, with the P16 measuring 12.9 mm and the P14 at 13.9 mm. Both include ASUS Lumina Pro OLED displays with 120 Hz variable refresh rates. Pricing starts at C$3,499 for the P14 and C$4,999 for the P16, available through retailers including Amazon Canada, Best Buy Canada, and the ASUS Store.
