Nvidia announced on October 17, 2026, that slim, premium Windows laptops powered by its RTX Spark platform are now on sale, with prices starting at $2,399. The first machines come from ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft and MSI, and the company said more systems are coming.

A GPU and CPU in one package

Nvidia describes RTX Spark as a superchip that combines a Blackwell-generation RTX graphics processor with its Grace CPU. According to the company, the platform delivers up to 1 petaflop of AI compute and supports up to 128GB of unified memory shared between the processors.

The company is pitching the laptops at people who want to run AI models locally, as well as creators and gamers. Nvidia also pointed developers to tested recipes and playbooks for running local AI workloads on the hardware. A large pool of unified memory matters for that use case, since it determines how big a language model can run on the device without relying on the cloud.

Launch events in six cities

Nvidia marked the retail debut with events in six cities. In Berlin, held at the XPERION gaming venue inside the Saturn store at Alexanderplatz, founder and CEO Jensen Huang made an unannounced appearance and handed out five laptops he had signed. The Berlin TV Tower was lit with RTX Spark-themed lighting as part of the city's annual Festival of Lights.

Other launches took place at the JD MALL Shuangjing store in Beijing, Vatan Bilgisayar Topkapı in Istanbul, the COEX East Lobby in Seoul, a Best Buy store in San Francisco and Muse Garden in Taipei. The company said the events featured hands-on demos, talks by local creators and founders, and, in San Francisco, an appearance by tech influencer iJustine.

RTX Spark represents Nvidia's push beyond its traditional role as a discrete graphics supplier alongside Intel and AMD processors, toward offering an integrated Windows laptop platform of its own. The high entry price suggests the first wave is aimed at professionals and enthusiasts. Nvidia's performance figures are company claims, and independent reviews will show how the machines compare with rival AI PCs.
