ASUS Unveils ProArt GR1X Mini PC and RTX Spark Laptops at Adobe MAX 2026
ASUS ProArt takes centre stage at Adobe MAX 2026
From November 10 to 12, 2026, the Miami Beach Convention Center hosts Adobe MAX 2026, and ASUS ProArt is presenting a full ecosystem of AI-powered creator solutions at Booth #1100. The showcase spans a new agentic AI mini PC, two RTX Spark-powered creator laptops, professional OLED displays, and live demonstrations of local AI workflows integrated with Adobe Creative Cloud applications.
ProArt GR1X: an agentic AI mini PC for on-device creative AI
The headline device is the ProArt GR1X, a compact mini PC built around NVIDIA RTX Spark. It pairs a 6,144-core NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with a 20-core Grace CPU and up to 128 GB of unified memory. This hardware lets creators run personal AI agents locally — no per-token fees, no cloud dependency, and full data privacy for sensitive client projects. The GR1X supports the full NVIDIA stack: CUDA, TensorRT, NVFP4, RTX ray tracing, DLSS, and OptiX. At Adobe MAX, ASUS is demonstrating the GR1X driving a quad-display mobile production studio, running ComfyUI generative workflows, and accelerating Adobe Premiere Pro and Photoshop through Hermes integration. US availability is set for November 18, 2026.
ProArt P16 and P14: RTX Spark power in thin-and-light laptops
Alongside the GR1X, ASUS is showing the ProArt P16 and P14 laptops, both powered by the same NVIDIA RTX Spark platform. The P16 measures just 12.9 mm thin and weighs 1.77 kg with a 99.9 Wh battery, making it the thinnest ProArt laptop yet. The P14 is the lightest at 1.48 kg and 13.9 mm thin with a 90 Wh battery. Both offer up to 6,144 Blackwell GPU cores, a 20-core Grace CPU, and 128 GB unified memory. Their ASUS Lumina Pro OLED displays reach 4K Tandem OLED resolution with 1,600 nits HDR peak brightness, Delta E < 1 color accuracy, 120 Hz VRR, and anti-reflection coating. Like the GR1X, they integrate local AI agents with Adobe Premiere Pro and Photoshop via Hermes for video editing and photo enhancement workflows.
ProArt OLED displays: color-critical monitors for HDR and VFX
The booth features several ProArt OLED monitors. The PA279CDV and PA329CDV are 4K 120 Hz QD-OLED panels with Delta E < 1.5 accuracy, paired with the P16 and P14. For the GR1X demos, ASUS uses the PA27UCDV — an anti-glare, low-reflection 4K 120 Hz QD-OLED with dual Thunderbolt 4 ports delivering up to 140 W Power Delivery — and the PA16USV, a 4K portable monitor with 12G-SDI connectivity. The VFX showcase adds the ExpertCenter Pro ET900A X9 and ExpertCenter E500A workstations driving the PA32UCDMR-K, PA27USD, and PA27UCDMR displays, all 4K HDR QD-OLED with up to 1,000-nit brightness, 240 Hz refresh rates, 99% DCI-P3 coverage, Delta E < 1 accuracy, and Dolby Vision support.
Live workflows: VFX, photo editing, and HDR masterclasses
Beyond hardware, the booth runs live demonstrations of professional workflows. VFX and production demos use Blender and Unreal Engine on the ExpertCenter workstations for real-time rendering and color-critical review. Photo editing stations pair ASUS NUC 16 Pro and QN10 mini PCs with ProArt displays to showcase Photoshop Generative Fill, AI-assisted enhancement, content-aware retouching, and professional color-managed review. A featured session, "Mastering HDR Workflows with Adobe Premiere and ASUS ProArt," led by Adobe's Jason Druss (former senior colorist at Warner Bros. and NFL Films), runs on November 10 at 3:45 p.m. EST at the Creative Park Theater, covering HDR color workflows and emerging HDR trends.
ProArt Creator Connect brings the community to Miami
On the evening of November 10, ASUS hosts ProArt Creator Connect at Blue Lavender Cafe & Market on Collins Avenue. The in-person workshop and networking event gathers creative professionals, industry experts, and technology partners over coffee and lunch to explore the ProArt GR1X and other agentic computing solutions, with hands-on demos of integrated Agent AI workflows.
