Xataka reviews ASUS ProArt P16 with Nvidia’s ARM RTX Spark chips
🎧 Listen to this story
The ASUS ProArt P16 is one of the first laptops based on Nvidia’s ARM RTX Spark chips, a platform that Xataka says aims to challenge the dominance of x86-based Windows PCs by prioritizing power as well as efficiency. The model offers 18- or 20-core processors, Nvidia Blackwell RTX graphics, up to 128 GB of unified LPDDR5X memory and up to 2 TB of storage. The tested configuration had a 20-core CPU, a 6,144-core GPU, 64 GB of memory and a 3K OLED display.
Xataka praises the laptop’s understated build, 16-inch display and 1.77 kg weight, but notes that its thickness of up to 15.9 mm leaves little room to dissipate heat when the laptop is under heavy load. The ASUS ProArt P16 runs Windows 11 and starts at 3,499 euros.
Why it matters · editorial interpretation
The review places Nvidia’s ARM RTX Spark platform in direct competition with x86-based Windows PCs, while also highlighting the trade-off between a thin design and heat dissipation under load. With a starting price of €3,499, the platform shift is especially relevant to buyers weighing performance, portability and cost together.
