Asus has brought its creator-focused ProArt range to India with two new laptops that put artificial intelligence work front and centre. The ProArt P16 and ProArt P14 went on sale in India on Tuesday, November 3, powered by Nvidia’s RTX Spark N1X platform and aimed at video editors, designers, 3D artists and AI developers who want serious power without being tied to a desktop.
The launch is a clear signal of where the premium laptop market is heading. Instead of chasing thinness alone, Asus is betting that creators will pay for machines that can run demanding AI tools locally, with fast memory, vivid colour-accurate screens and enough graphics muscle for large projects. Both models support more than 1,000 AI-accelerated applications, including Adobe tools, Blender and ComfyUI, according to the company.
ProArt P16: the flagship for heavy work
The ProArt P16 is the larger and more powerful of the pair. It carries a 16-inch 4K Lumina Pro OLED touchscreen with a 120Hz refresh rate and Pantone Validation, which matters for anyone whose work lives or dies on colour accuracy. The display supports stylus input, making it a natural fit for illustrators and photo editors.
Under the hood, the RTX Spark N1X platform pairs a 20-core CPU with a 6,144-core GPU. Buyers can choose up to 128GB of unified memory, so the processor and graphics share one large, fast memory pool instead of splitting it. That is the kind of specification that helps when editing high-resolution video, training or running local AI models, or juggling several heavy applications at once.
The P16 weighs about 1.77kg and is 1.29cm thick at its thinnest point, which is slim for a machine of this class. It packs a 99.9Wh battery, supports charging at up to 140W through USB Type-C, and comes with a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD.
ProArt P14: the portable option
The ProArt P14 takes the same platform and trims it down for portability. It uses an RTX Spark N1X configuration with an 18-core CPU and a 5,120-core GPU, paired with 24GB of unified memory and a 1TB SSD. Its 14-inch 3K Lumina Pro OLED touchscreen also runs at 120Hz and carries Pantone Validation, with stylus support.
At around 1.48kg and 1.39cm thick, the P14 is roughly 300 grams lighter than its bigger sibling, and it houses a 90Wh battery. For creators who travel between shoots, studios and client meetings, that trade-off, a slightly smaller screen and battery in exchange for a lighter bag, will be the deciding factor.
Price in India and where to buy
Pricing places both laptops firmly in the premium creator segment. The ProArt P14, in Nano Black with 24GB of memory and 1TB of storage, costs Rs 3,29,990. A Neo White version is listed as coming soon.
- Asus ProArt P14 (24GB, 1TB SSD): Rs 3,29,990
- Asus ProArt P16 (64GB, 1TB SSD): Rs 4,99,990
- Asus ProArt P16 (128GB, 1TB SSD): Rs 6,49,990
- A 48GB version of the ProArt P16 will be available soon
Both laptops are available from November 3 through Asus Exclusive Stores, Reliance Digital, Croma, Flipkart, Amazon and the Asus eShop. Asus is also running a launch offer until November 30, 2026, which includes no-cost EMI starting at Rs 13,750 per month, along with a two-year warranty extension and three years of damage protection at Rs 99, a package the company values at Rs 6,599. Terms and conditions apply.
Accessories for the creator desk
Alongside the laptops, Asus has introduced the ProArt Mouse MD301 and ProArt Keyboard KD300. The mouse costs Rs 8,499, with six programmable buttons and an 8,000 DPI sensor for precise work in editing and design software.
Who should actually buy one?
These are not laptops for everyday browsing or basic office work, and their prices make that clear. They make sense for professionals whose income depends on rendering speed, colour accuracy and local AI performance: video editors cutting 4K footage, animators and 3D artists, photographers handling large raw files, and developers running AI workloads on device rather than in the cloud.
