ASUS Japan announced on October 8th the Japan availability of its next-generation AI notebooks, the 'ProArt P16 (H7607)' and 'ProArt P14 (H7407),' from its premium brand for creators, 'ProArt' series. The launch is scheduled for late October or later. Purchases will be available through the official ASUS online store 'ASUS Store' and planned retail partners such as Applied, Amazon.co.jp, Edion, K's Denki, Kojima, Joshin, Sofmap, Bic Camera, Yamada Denki, and Yodobashi Camera.
The biggest feature of both models is the integration of 'NVIDIA RTX Spark N1X,' which combines an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU, NVIDIA Grace CPU, and unified memory. Boasting up to 1 PetaFLOPs of AI performance, they are designed for demanding tasks such as local generative AI processing, AI agent utilization, video editing, and 3D rendering. Models equipped with 128GB of unified memory are also available, supporting applications that handle large-scale AI models and massive datasets.
The lineup consists of two models: the 16-inch ProArt P16 and the 14-inch ProArt P14, offering configurations that can be chosen according to creative style. Two colors are available: Nano Black and Neo White, and the chassis features a high-quality finish achieved through CNC machining. Nano Black is resistant to fingerprints, while Neo White is characterized by a sophisticated sandblasted texture.
In terms of features, they are equipped with ASUS's proprietary AI-enabled app 'Story Cube' and the AI ideation support tool 'MuseTree.' Story Cube is an app that uses AI to automatically organize and classify photos and videos, allowing quick access to necessary materials. MuseTree is a generative AI tool that expands ideas based on text and images, assisting in design production, illustrations, and concept art creation. ASUS states that both models are products poised to advance the creative environment for creators and developers to the next generation.
