NVIDIA’s long-awaited Windows laptop platform is finally here. RTX Spark laptops are available globally from 16 October 2026, starting at $2,599. Each one pairs an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with an NVIDIA Grace CPU in a single superchip, in slim, premium laptops from ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft and MSI.
NVIDIA calls it “a new beginning for Windows PCs.” It is aimed at creators, gamers, developers and anyone who wants to run AI agents on their own machine. For more, see our NVIDIA coverage and laptop news.

A GPU and CPU in One Chip
The big idea is unified memory. The CPU and GPU share one pool of up to 128GB. Big AI models and huge creative projects can then sit in memory without being copied between separate chips.
NVIDIA says this lets the laptops render 3D scenes of up to 90GB while unplugged. It also claims all-day battery life in a body that fits in a messenger bag. Independent battery tests will show how that holds up.
Run AI Agents Locally on Windows
NVIDIA is pushing local AI hard. The laptops come with agents that are preinstalled or easy to install, including GitHub Copilot, Hermes, OpenClaw, Perplexity, Pi and WorkBuddy, with guided setup that avoids the command line.
- Nemotron 3.5 Bolt: a 74-billion-parameter model tuned for tool calling and multistep tasks.
- Permission controls: NVIDIA OpenShell and Microsoft Execution Containers limit what agents can do.
- NVIDIA PAIR: lets the laptop serve AI inference to other Windows, Linux and macOS PCs on your home network.
Microsoft describes Windows as a platform for “hybrid intelligence,” where AI runs locally when practical and in the cloud when needed.
For Creators and Developers
Creators:
- Adobe Photoshop and Premiere have native RTX Spark support in beta at launch, with Substance 3D coming soon.
- NVIDIA says the laptops can edit 8K 4:2:2 video.
- NVIDIA Broadcast 2.3 can remove background noise from existing recordings.
- Beta RTX Video features offer up to 4K super resolution and 4x frame generation, and ComfyUI nodes can lift 15 fps AI video to 60 fps.
Developers:
- Native CUDA support, a PyTorch-CUDA build for Windows on Arm, and a native Conda installer.
- Support for 97% of the top 15,000 Python packages.
- Windows Subsystem for Linux and the open-source NVIDIA Skills repository for CUDA-X.
Gaming on RTX Spark
NVIDIA claims 1440p AAA gaming at over 100 fps. Launch titles include Cyberpunk 2077, Fortnite, Gears of War: E-Day, Marvel Rivals, World of Warcraft and NBA 2K27.
NBA 2K27 uses DLSS 5 with 3D-Guided Neural Rendering, and a new AI model is said to lift DLSS 5 frame rates by up to 1.4x. The laptops also support ray tracing, G-SYNC and Reflex.
Is RTX Spark Available in India?
NVIDIA says availability is global through partner sites and retailers, but it has not listed Indian prices or dates. At $2,599 in the US, Indian prices will depend on each brand’s configuration, taxes and import costs. Check the Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS and MSI India sites for local listings.
What Executives Said
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said RTX Spark “brings the power of NVIDIA AI, RTX graphics and CUDA together with Microsoft Windows in one PC.” Microsoft’s Yusuf Mehdi said Windows PCs powered by RTX Spark “unlock powerful new local compute for creators and developers.”
