Asus’s new ProArt is powered by Nvidia’s RTX Spark, and there’s a new AI agent of its own as well
Asus came to Computex 2026 with a lot to show. The two new ProArt laptops running Nvidia’s RTX Spark are the headline, but the company also rolled out a Zenbook 14 that doesn’t commit to a single chip, two new Vivobook S models that very much do, a V-series of desktops and all-in-ones built to look like furniture, a return to tablets after years away, and an AI assistant called Zenni Claw.
The ProArt P16 (H7607) and P14 (H7407) are the first Asus machines to run on Nvidia’s RTX Spark superchip—the same platform behind the first crop of Windows PCs built specifically for AI agents. Translation: the model lives on your laptop, not on someone else’s server. You don’t wait for a generation to come back over the wire.
The software stack is built around it. ProArt Creator Hub manages how the system spends its resources. MuseTree and StoryCube handle the generative image and video work, with MuseTree running on Black Forest Labs’ FLUX. The ProArts are among the first machines to support FLUX.2, and Asus is using NVFP4 to optimise it on the RTX hardware. The claim is near-instant image generation.
The Lumina Pro OLED panel does 1,600 nits HDR peak, 120Hz, VRR, and an anti-reflection coating. The colour story is new too. Nano Black and Neo White—both anti-smudge—the first time the ProArt line has stepped away from the silver-grey palette. Select markets get them in fall 2026.
The same RTX Spark stack also lands inside a ProArt Mini PC for creators who’d rather skip the laptop. It carries the full 1 petaflop of AI performance and up to 128GB of unified memory, with 140W of thermal headroom for long generative and rendering sessions. The chassis measures 150 × 150 × 51 mm, with 10GbE networking and an M.2 PCIe Gen 5 x4 slot for storage scaling.
The Vivobook S14 and S16 take the opposite call and commit to Snapdragon X only. The NPU hits 45 TOPS, and there’s a 30W TDP performance mode for when Snapdragon needs to push harder. The 16-inch carries an 89% screen-to-body ratio. The 14-inch starts at 1.28kg, runs more than 25 hours, and recharges to 60% in 49 minutes. The Flip variants add a 360-degree hinge, 2K OLED touch, and Asus Pen 3.0 support, at 1.41kg and 1.60kg.
The Asus Pad (T3201) is the comeback nobody had on their bingo card. Asus hasn’t shipped a serious tablet in years. The one it’s bringing back runs MediaTek’s Dimensity 8300 and carries a 12.2-inch 2.8K dual-layer OLED at 144Hz. The chassis is 6.5mm thick and weighs 523g, with a magnalium body and a fiberglass back. Four Dolby Atmos speakers, a 9,000mAh battery that hits 50% in half an hour, and ASUS GlideX, Google Circle to Search, and facial login baked in.
A smaller partnership came alongside it. Eligible Asus buyers get three months of Goodnotes Essential and a discount on the app’s premium AI features and templates.
So far, there’s no word on the pricing and availability for the ProArt, Zenbook, Vivobook, V-series, and Asus Pad in India.
ProArt P16 and P14 put 1 petaflop of on-device AI inside a creator laptop
RTX Spark is unusual silicon. Asus has paired a Blackwell RTX GPU, with 6,144 CUDA cores and fifth-gen Tensor Cores running FP4 precision, to a 20-core Nvidia Grace CPU. The two are linked over NVLink-C2C, which is the chip-to-chip interconnect Nvidia normally reserves for its data centre work. The number Asus is putting on it: up to 1 petaflop of AI performance, with 128GB of unified memory. That last number is the one that matters. Big models eat memory, and 128GB is the line where you stop having to compromise on which one you load.The software stack is built around it.

Zenbook 14 goes three for three, Vivobook S goes Snapdragon-only
The Zenbook 14 is the everyday machine, and it’s interesting for what Asus isn’t doing: picking a side. The same chassis ships with Intel, AMD, or Snapdragon inside, depending on what you want. The shell is 1.1kg of Ceraluminum, and the colours have shifted toward something more deliberate—Arctic Blue and Komodo Coral. Battery runs 21+ hours. NPU performance peaks at 50 TOPS.Asus’s V-series is meant to be shown off to house guests, and apparently tablets are back
The V-series is Asus trying to make desktop PCs look like furniture. The V700 Mini Tower (V701ML) trades the usual gamer-black aesthetic for wood-grain finishes and softer contours. Up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 inside, DDR5 memory, 2TB of PCIe 4.0 SSD storage, and optional GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics. The V200 AiO (VM240FA) is the entry option with an AMD Ryzen 5 40 and AI noise cancellation for messy video calls. The V400 AiO (VM471QA) scales that idea up to a 27-inch Snapdragon-powered all-in-one.The Asus Pad (T3201) is the comeback nobody had on their bingo card.

Zenni Claw is Asus’s pitch to make agentic AI feel less intimidating
Zenni Claw is the assistant Asus thinks regular people will actually open. Three-step install, a stripped-back interface, and a set of ready-made skills that cover work, daily planning, and travel. The detail that’s actually clever is the routing. Zenni Claw decides on the fly whether to handle a task locally or kick it to the cloud—which means less waiting and a lot less of your data leaving the laptop.A smaller partnership came alongside it. Eligible Asus buyers get three months of Goodnotes Essential and a discount on the app’s premium AI features and templates.
So far, there’s no word on the pricing and availability for the ProArt, Zenbook, Vivobook, V-series, and Asus Pad in India.
