In short

NVIDIA said on October 17, 2026 that RTX Spark laptops are now on sale from ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft and MSI, starting at $2,399.

At a glance

  • Superchip: NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU plus NVIDIA Grace CPU in one package.
  • Up to 1 petaflop of AI compute and up to 128GB of unified memory.
  • Entry price $2,399; systems from ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, MSI.
  • Launch events in six cities: Berlin, Beijing, Istanbul, Seoul, San Francisco, Taipei.

NVIDIA announced on October 17, 2026 that RTX Spark laptops are available to buy: slim Windows machines from ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft and MSI, starting at $2,399.

What the superchip is

RTX Spark puts a Blackwell RTX GPU and a Grace CPU into a single superchip, rated by NVIDIA at up to 1 petaflop of AI compute with up to 128GB of unified memory. Unified memory means the graphics and main processor draw on one shared pool instead of shuttling data between two separate ones.

Why memory is the number to watch

For work that stays on the machine, capacity usually matters more than the headline petaflop figure, because the size of a model you can hold locally is bounded by available memory. The post does not name specific models, parameter counts or throughput, so there is no way to translate 128GB into a concrete list of what runs comfortably.

Who is shipping, and who is next

Six vendors are named: ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft and MSI. NVIDIA describes further hardware only as additional systems on the way, without dates or brands. The $2,399 figure is an entry price, not the price of a maximum-memory configuration.

A launch day staged across six cities

NVIDIA treated the release as a single global event day. Berlin hosted it in the XPERION gaming venue inside the Saturn store at Alexanderplatz, with the Berlin TV Tower lit in RTX Spark colors during the city's Festival of Lights. Jensen Huang turned up unannounced, handed out five personally signed RTX Spark laptops and met the crowd.

The other stops were JD MALL Shuangjing Store in Beijing, Vatan Bilgisayar Topkapı in Istanbul, the COEX East Lobby in Seoul, a Best Buy store in San Francisco with tech creator iJustine on hand, and Muse Garden in Taipei.

Creation and gaming

Beyond local AI, NVIDIA points to content creation and gaming, naming DLSS 4.5. Developers are directed to a dedicated NVIDIA page of tested recipes and playbooks for running local AI on RTX Spark.

What the post does not answer

There are no regional prices outside dollars, no per-vendor configurations or model-level pricing, no tokens-per-second measurements and no shipment or sales figures. Everything above comes from the vendor announcement; no second independent newsroom report on this launch was available at publication.
