The ASUS ProArt P16 with RTX Spark is one of the best Windows laptops I've ever used. It's also one of the easiest to recommend to the wrong person.
That distinction matters when laptops start at $2,799.99 and go up to nearly $7,000, but I have a good reason for this caveat.
ASUS has designed this new ProArt P16 (H7607) primarily for people who create more than they consume: developers, engineers, AI enthusiasts, 3D artists, video editors, and professionals experimenting with increasingly sophisticated local AI and agentic workflows.
Indeed, NVIDIA's RTX Spark N1X combines a 20-core Grace CPU, 6,144-core Blackwell RTX GPU, native CUDA support, and up to 128GB of unified LPDDR5X memory. ASUS says the latter configuration can even run LLMs with up to 120 billion parameters.
If CUDA, local inference, LLMs, agentic workflows, GPU memory, or ComfyUI mean absolutely nothing to you, there are better laptops for your money.
If those terms interest you, even if you're just starting to learn about them, things get much more interesting, and you'll want to read on.
ASUS and NVIDIA had no input, nor did it see the contents of this review, prior to publication.
I focused on two configurations for this review. My 3K Nano Black unit packs 64GB RAM and a 1TB SSD for $4,399.99, while the top model jumps to 128GB RAM, 2TB storage, and a 4K OLED for $6,999.99.
ASUS also offers Nano Black and Neo White, although configuration choices are strangely interdependent.
