The ASUS ProArt 16 is the creator laptop ASUS has built around the NVIDIA RTX Spark platform. Here is what the hardware is, how it is configured, and what arrives in the box.

The ProArt 16 sits at the top of the ASUS creator line, and it is the company’s first machine built on the RTX Spark platform.

That platform pairs a Blackwell RTX GPU with an efficient CPU and a single pool of unified memory. The unit supplied by ASUS carries 64 GB of that memory, which is enough capacity to hold and run large models locally.

ASUS ProArt 16 DESIGN AND BUILD

Brightness is rated at 500 nits typical and 1100 nits peak in HDR. It covers 100 percent of DCI-P3, carries PANTONE validation, and is certified to VESA DisplayHDR True Black 1000.

ASUS also rates it for 70 percent less harmful blue light, and the panel supports touch and stylus input with a 90 percent screen to body ratio.

ASUS lists two panel options for the line: the 3K OLED in the unit supplied, and a UHD+ panel at 3840 by 2400.

KEYBOARD, TOUCHPAD AND PORTS

The keyboard is a backlit chiclet design with 1.7 mm of key travel, and the touchpad is haptic rather than mechanical.

Three USB 4.0 Gen 3 Type-C ports support display output and power delivery at up to 40 Gbps, alongside one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, an HDMI 2.1 output, a full size SD Express 7.0 card reader and a 3.5 mm audio jack.

Wireless duties fall to a Wi-Fi 7 card on a triple band 2×2 layout, alongside Bluetooth 5.4.

AUDIO AND CAMERA

Built-in speakers use Smart Amp technology, and the FHD camera includes an IR sensor for Windows Hello sign in.

STORAGE AND SOFTWARE

Storage runs on an M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD, in 512 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB capacities, with two M.2 2280 PCIe 5.0 x4 slots available for expansion. The unit we received is packed with 1 TB of storage.

The machine ships with Windows 11 Home or Windows 11 Pro. The included software covers ProArt Creator Hub, MuseTree, StoryCube, GlideX, ScreenXpert and MyASUS, and MyASUS adds AI Noise Canceling, OLED Care, Live Update, TaskFirst and WiFi SmartConnect.
