ASUS's first laptop featuring an RTX Spark chip confirms what I originally thought: NVIDIA's new PC platform really isn't meant for everyone. The ProArt P16 is yet another one of the company's premium notebooks focused on power-hungry creators — except this time, it's running NVIDIA's first major PC chipset, instead of an Intel or AMD processor. Outside of the hype from Microsoft and NVIDIA, who are positioning RTX spark as a complete "reinvention" of the PC, the ProArt P16 is simply a nice laptop. It's particularly appealing if you're running local AI models, since it can squeeze up to 128GB of RAM into a relatively slim case.
