What happened?
NVIDIA announced the global availability of RTX Spark laptops starting October 16, 2026. The devices combine an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU and Grace CPU in a single superchip, with up to 128 GB of unified LPDDR5X memory and up to 1 petaflop of FP4 AI performance.
Models are on sale from ASUS (ProArt P14 and P16), Dell (XPS 16), HP (OmniBook Ultra and OmniBook X 14), Lenovo (Yoga Pro 9n), Microsoft (Surface Laptop Ultra) and MSI (Prestige N16 Flip AI+ and Prestige N16), starting at $2,599. Configurations and prices vary by region.
Why does this matter?
RTX Spark represents a new class of Windows PC: a thin, portable device capable of running frontier AI models and agents locally while also serving for content creation and AAA gaming. Unified memory allows demanding creative projects and AI models to run simultaneously without exclusive reliance on the cloud.
According to NVIDIA, day-one support includes local AI agents, creative apps such as Adobe Photoshop and Premiere, and games including Gears of War: E-Day and NBA 2K27 with DLSS 5. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang highlighted that the product brings AI, RTX graphics and CUDA together with Windows for creators, developers and gamers.
What changes in practice?
Developers can code, test and deploy on a single machine with native CUDA support and tools optimized for Windows on Arm. Creators can edit 8K video and render 3D scenes up to 90 GB even when unplugged. Gamers get ray tracing, DLSS and Reflex in a slim form factor with all-day battery life.
There are two main configurations: one with a 20-core CPU and 6,144-core GPU (up to 128 GB and 1 petaflop) and another with an 18-core CPU and 5,120-core GPU (up to 32 GB and about 827 teraflops). Entry models start with 24 GB of memory.
The platform positions the PC as a “teammate” with AI agents while keeping the familiar Windows experience. Compact RTX Spark desktops are expected in November.
