All 8 laptops launching with Nvidia RTX Spark this fall -- and what they can do

Nvidia's brand new chip promises rapid speeds with power efficiency Nvidia has stormed Computex 2026 with the official announcement we all knew was coming: the company's first all-in-one laptop silicon called the RTX Spark Super Chip family. Analysts are calling this Nvidia's most disruptive move in a decade, and my colleague Jason England likens it to the moment Apple unveiled its own M1 chip back in 2020. By moving beyond GPUs into integrated processors, Nvidia is throwing the gauntlet down to Qualcomm, Intel and AMD. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang revealed RTX Spark during his keynote in Taipei, and the first laptops powered by the new chip should arrive in the fall. Beyond that, we can expect to see the RTX Spark appearing in mini PCs and small form-factor desktops from the likes of Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, MSI, Acer and Gigabyte. Huang noted that Nvidia and Microsoft have been working away on this for the last three years to "reinvent the PC for the first time in 40 years," aiming to move towards a responsive, proactive AI experience. Microsoft itself is coming out of the gate with an RTX Spark-powered Surface Laptop Ultra that could be a MacBook Pro killer. Here's the list of the first eight RTX Spark-equipped laptops, along with a few details we know about them. Microsoft Surface Ultra Microsoft hasn't confirmed many details about its upcoming RTX Spark-powered Surface Laptop Ultra, but we know it'll have a 15-inch mini-LED touchscreen with 2,000 nits of peak brightness. It will benefit from a large haptic touchpad and all the required ports: HDMI, USB-C, USB-A, SD card and a headphone jack. Microsoft claims this will be "the most powerful Surface Laptop ever built" when it arrives later this year. Microsoft also claims it can run AI models locally and that the chip delivers power comparable to a mobile RTX 5070 GPU. Asus ProArt Asus is planning to launch two RTX Spark-powered ProArt laptops later this year: the ProArt P16 and the ProArt P14. Both laptops will feature 120Hz OLED touch panels in the 16:10 format (one will be 16-inch, one 14-inch) and be geared towards creative professionals. Memory will be up to 128GB LPDDR5X 9400, while storage can be configured up to 2TB on the P16 and 1TB on the P14. Regardless of which model you choose, you'll get a full suite of ports: 3x USB-C, 1x USB-A, 1x HDMI 2.1, 1x headphone jack and 1x standard SD. MSI Prestige N16 MSI is set to launch the 2-in-1 Prestige N16 Flip AI Plus, which, it says, will represent "a new generation of premium thin-and-light PCs." Sadly, we've got no further information on the specs, dimensions, or -- crucially -- the price. All we can say is that this will be a 16-inch laptop with a 3,840 x 2,160 OLED panel and a peak brightness of over 1,000 nits. Dell XPS 16 Dell will launch an RTX Spark-equipped version of the XPS 16, which likely won't deviate much from the current model in terms of outward design. We can expect an aluminum 16.3-inch workhorse with three USB-C ports, an HDMI port, an SD card slot, and a headphone jack. Price and specifications haven't been revealed yet. HP OmniBook and Ultra 16 HP has confirmed two forthcoming RTX Spark laptops, the OmniBook X 14 and Ultra 16, but stopped short of announcing any specific details. The company says it will create "the world's thinnest RTX Spark, built for powerful performance" and has confirmed it will follow up on the laptops with a compact desktop in the future. "Our expanded portfolio pairs compact, powerful hardware with pre-configured environments and open-source toolchains to eliminate setup friction and accelerate the path from idea to execution," said Samuel Chang, senior vice president and division president, Consumer Personal Systems at HP. Lenovo Yoga Pro 9n Lenovo's flagship 16-inch laptop will also be getting the RTX Spark treatment, but we haven't had any details about exactly what changes to expect. Like the other laptops on this list, Lenovo's creator-focused 16-inch machine boasts a durable aluminum chassis and configurable specs tailored to your needs. One area ripe for improvement would be battery life, and we'd hope that the RTX Spark-equipped Yoga Pro 9n can surpass the 9.45-hour battery life we recorded on the Intel-powered Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i. Bottom line In addition to announcing that over 30 laptops will come with the RTX Spark chip, Nvidia also revealed that Adobe is rebuilding Photoshop and Premiere Pro from the ground up for compatibility. Suffice it to say, the above laptops will kick off a silicon war in the fall that could be good news for consumers. Especially for gamers and creative video editors. The Spark's Blackwell-architecture GPU, with 6,144 CUDA cores, brings Windows-on-Arm compatibility with Nvidia's gaming suite, including DLSS 4.5. You're going to get thin, light laptops capable of running triple-A games at 100 FPS with real-time ray tracing. Finally, these laptops will be positioned to move Windows into a truly agentic AI future, with RTX Spark delivering 1 Petaflop of local AI performance. In a nutshell, it'll have the power and efficiency to work on the user's behalf across various apps to achieve the desired outcome. So we're potentially looking at laptops with a thin-and-light form factor, elite battery life, and the power to crush desktop-class AI development, heavy creative production, or cutting-edge gaming. The only question is: how much will these devices cost when they arrive?

Asus arms its new ProArt P16 and P14 laptops with Nvidia's beefy RTX Spark processor

The AI PC race has mostly been about squeezing more neural processing power into thinner laptops. Asus is taking a different route. Its latest ProArt P16 and ProArt P14 creator laptops are built around Nvidia's new RTX Spark platform, a chip package that sounds like something you'd expect to find inside a workstation. And that's exactly the point. The new ProArt machines are targeting creators, developers, and power users who increasingly want desktop-class AI performance without being tethered to a desk. A creator laptop that thinks like a workstation The biggest story here isn't the laptops themselves. It's the hardware inside them. NVIDIA's RTX Spark platform combines an RTX GPU based on the Blackwell architecture with a 20-core Grace CPU, creating a package designed to handle AI workloads that would typically require a much larger machine. Asus claims users can work with enormous 3D scenes, edit ultra-high-resolution video, generate AI content locally, and even run massive language models without relying on cloud servers. That matters because AI workflows are quickly becoming part of everyday creative work. Whether you're generating concept art, cleaning up footage, creating visual effects, or experimenting with local AI assistants, performance is becoming just as important as battery life. The promise here is simple: fewer compromises between portability and raw compute power. Thin, light, and surprisingly ambitious Despite the workstation-like ambitions, Asus says both laptops are slimmer and lighter than the previous-generation ProArt models. That's a notable achievement considering the amount of hardware packed inside. The displays are equally impressive on paper. The larger ProArt P16 features an OLED panel with a high refresh rate and variable refresh rate support, while the P14 focuses on delivering sharp visuals in a more compact form factor. Both are aimed squarely at photographers, video editors, designers, and anyone who spends their day staring at timelines and color palettes. Asus is also leaning heavily into its broader creative ecosystem. Tools like Creator Hub, MuseTree, and StoryCube are designed to simplify AI-assisted workflows, while partnerships with popular creative software makers should help these machines feel useful from day one rather than serving as expensive tech demos. The challenge, of course, is convincing creators that they need this much AI horsepower in a laptop. But as generative AI tools continue to become part of mainstream creative software, that argument gets easier every month. For now, the new ProArt P16 and P14 look like Asus' most ambitious creator laptops yet -- thin enough to carry anywhere, but powerful enough to make many desktop PCs feel a little nervous.
