At Computex 2026, ASUS Pushes AI Beyond The Cloud With ProArt Local Processing

ASUS used COMPUTEX 2026 to make a clear statement: AI PC is no longer being presented as a concept, but as a core part of its product strategy. The company brought a wide lineup to the stage, spanning creator laptops, premium notebooks, desktops, All-in-One PCs, tablets, and a personal AI assistant.

The strongest attention fell on ProArt P16 and ProArt P14. These are ASUS’s first creator laptops to adopt NVIDIA RTX Spark, a platform aimed at supporting the AI Agent era and the next generation of AI computing.

ProArt moves local AI forward

RTX Spark combines an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores with FP4 precision support. It is paired with a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU through NVIDIA NVLink-C2C, helping speed up local AI processing more efficiently.

ASUS says the platform can deliver up to 1 petaflop of AI performance. The unified memory support of up to 128GB also gives users more room to run AI Agents locally without relying entirely on the cloud.

For professional creators, ASUS adds ProArt Creator Hub, MuseTree, and StoryCube. The laptops also use ASUS Lumina Pro OLED displays with HDR up to 1,600 nits, a 120Hz refresh rate, and Variable Refresh Rate.

Premium and mobility-focused laptops also get updated

ASUS also refreshed the Zenbook 14 with Intel, AMD, and Snapdragon options from the latest generation. The premium laptop weighs 1.1 kilograms and uses Ceraluminum, which ASUS says is both light and durable.

The model comes in Arctic Blue and Komodo Coral, adding a new visual identity to the line. ASUS also claims more than 21 hours of battery life on a single charge, while NPU support of up to 50 TOPS helps it handle Copilot+ PC features.

The Zenbook 14 is further equipped with an ASUS OLED display, an ergonomic keyboard with 1.7 mm key travel, a smart gesture touchpad, dual-speaker audio, and security features such as Windows Hello, Microsoft Pluton, and passkeys.

For everyday users, ASUS introduced the Vivobook S14 and Vivobook S16 based on Snapdragon X. Both belong to the Copilot+ PC family and offer NPUs up to 45 TOPS for more responsive multitasking with better power efficiency.

These models use OLED displays of up to 16 inches with a 16:10 aspect ratio and 100% DCI-P3 color coverage. ASUS also claims battery life of more than 25 hours for the series.

Flexible designs and home computing options

ASUS also prepared more adaptable options through the Vivobook S14 Flip and Vivobook S16 Flip. Both models feature 360-degree hinges, 2K OLED touchscreens, and support for ASUS Pen 3.0, making them suitable for note-taking and digital drawing.

The company’s push into home computing also includes the V700 Mini Tower, V200 AiO, and V400 AiO. The V700 Mini Tower has a modern wood-pattern design and is powered by Intel Core Ultra 9, with an option for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics.

For family use and daily productivity, the V200 AiO comes with an ultra-slim design and AMD Ryzen 5. The V400 AiO uses a 27-inch display and a Snapdragon platform that supports modern AI capabilities.

Tablets and AI software are part of the same push

ASUS also marked its return to the tablet market with the ASUS Pad (T3201). The device has a 12.2-inch 2.8K Dual-Layer OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, four Dolby Atmos speakers, a 6.5 mm thickness, and a weight of around 523 grams.

It is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8300 and a 9,000mAh battery. ASUS says it can charge to 50% in 30 minutes.

On the software side, ASUS introduced Zenni Claw as a new AI assistant designed to help users work with AI Agents in daily activities. Its hybrid computing approach combines local and cloud processing to keep the experience fast, secure, and efficient.

Through a simple interface, Zenni Claw can help manage work, organize schedules, coordinate creative projects, and prepare travel plans. ASUS also expanded its creative ecosystem with MuseTree, now using FLUX.2 technology and GPU acceleration from NVIDIA RTX.

ASUS says the integration of NVFP4 from Black Forest Labs makes image and video creation nearly instant on RTX-based devices. The company also highlighted a partnership with Goodnotes that gives eligible ASUS users three months of free Goodnotes Essential, along with premium AI-based features.
