Nvidia RTX Spark AI Laptops Launch, Starting at 3,300 Euro
Microsoft, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and MSI have announced Windows laptops featuring Nvidia's new RTX Spark ARM chip, the N1X. These devices are now available for pre-order, with deliveries starting October 16. The RTX Spark is closely related to the GB10 processor in Nvidia's DGX Spark mini-PC, but comes in two variants with different CPU and GPU core counts. Prices range from 2,900 Euro for the base Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra to 6,700 Euro for the top-end Asus ProArt 16. The laptops are positioned for AI workloads, marking the first time Nvidia's fast AI chip is available in Windows machines. Nvidia also plans to offer Windows on its stationary DGX Spark systems.
Nvidia Unveils RTX Spark SoC for Windows PCs
Nvidia announced the RTX Spark, a System-on-Chip (SoC) designed for Windows devices, at Computex. The chip combines CPU and GPU on a shared memory architecture with configurations from 16 GB up to 128 GB of unified RAM. Nvidia positions the GPU performance near an RTX 5070 while delivering lower power consumption. RTX Spark includes around one petaflop of AI compute, which Nvidia says is sufficient to run local AI agents with models of ~120 billion parameters. Microsoft showcased a Copilot‑Plus Surface Laptop Ultra using the chip; Nvidia and partners (Acer, Asus, Dell, HPT, MSI, Lenovo) are reportedly working on 30+ laptops and 10 desktops with RTX Spark. Nvidia and Microsoft expect device shipments in fall 2026, with exact pricing and final launch dates not yet disclosed.
