This is the ASUS ProArt GR1X, a mini PC with NVIDIA RTX Spark N1X chip, 128 GB of memory and 140 W TDP
After the arrival of the first proposals based on the new NVIDIA platform during IFA 2026, ASUS also wanted to show us its alternative for the compact desktop environment with the ProArt GR1X. After seeing it first-hand at the company’s stand, we have been left with some details that we thought were important. Without going any further, this equipment is very small and dispenses with traditional tower cases to integrate the NVIDIA RTX Spark N1X processor in a chassis of just 1.1 liters.
In this case, the version presented by the manufacturer equips 128 GB of unified memory, a figure designed, above all, to run AI models directly on the computer and handle demanding graphic workflows without resorting to the cloud.

Ultra-compact 140W chassis with Blackwell graphics and 1 petaflop of power
Unlike laptops based on this platform, which limit their consumption to 80 W, this mini PC increases the TDP of the RTX Spark chip up to 140 W to squeeze the frequencies of its components.
The platform combines a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU with a 6,144 CUDA-core Blackwell architecture GPU, reaching AI computing power of up to 1 petaflop in FP4 precision. To ensure power supply stability under prolonged workloads, the system relies on an external 240W power supply.
The external structure has a weight of 1.48 kilograms and measures 150 by 150 millimeters in base and 51 millimeters in thickness. In the mass storage section, the device has M.2 slots compatible with solid state drives under PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0 interfaces.
Finally, its cable connectivity also draws attention, which stands out for incorporating a 10 Gbps Ethernet portaccompanied by a WiFi 7 wireless link and four rear USB-C ports with support for DisplayPort video output and Power Delivery fast charging.
