NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops are on sale now from ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft and MSI, starting at $2,599, with 128GB configurations on shelves. NVIDIA’s October 28, 2026 update also adds a new speech model, GPU sharing controls and game support.
For readers in Canada, the sources used here give no Canadian price or stock details, so local listings are worth checking before you plan a purchase.
What is an RTX Spark laptop?
According to NVIDIA, each one puts a Blackwell RTX GPU and a Grace CPU on a single superchip. The company says that is what lets the laptops stay slim.
- Up to 128GB of unified memory shared by the GPU and CPU
- Up to 1 petaflop of FP4 performance, per NVIDIA
- As thin as 14mm and as light as three pounds, with all-day battery life
- Screen sizes, colours, touchscreens, pen support and two-in-one convertibles vary by model
NVIDIA says creative projects and models draw from the same memory pool, so a laptop can take on work that used to call for a desktop workstation, even when unplugged.
Which laptops can you buy?
Windows Central listed these models from US retailers:
- Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra
- ASUS ProArt P14 and ProArt P16
- Dell XPS 16
- HP OmniBook X 14 and OmniBook Ultra 16
- Lenovo Yoga 9n
- MSI Prestige N16 Flip AI+
iTWire also reported that the systems ship from the six partners through their own sites and retail channels, and that pricing and configurations vary by region.
What is new for local models and agents?
NVIDIA introduced three changes on October 28.
- Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe is an open weight speech model that handles transcription, speaker labels and translation in one model. It covers 40 languages and is on Hugging Face, where NVIDIA says it ranks No. 1 on the Open ASR board.
- Liquid AI’s LFM3 family of open models has day-zero support. Liquid AI says its new 1.7-billion-parameter base model outperforms its previous 2.6-billion-parameter one, and the models run through llama.cpp and vLLM.
- A resource control in the NVIDIA App, under System > Advanced, lets you favour a foreground app or a background agent. It needs hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling turned on in Windows Settings.
The agent tools named in the post include Hermes Agent, Pi and OpenClaw, which can handle jobs such as triaging an inbox or managing a calendar.
What is new for gamers and creators?
For gaming, NVIDIA points to three items:
- Phantom Blade Zero launches tonight, Oct. 28, at 7 p.m. PT on Steam and the Epic Games Store, with ray tracing and DLSS 4.5
- DLSS Dynamic Multi Frame Generation offers up to 6x frame generation
- RTX Remix 1.6 brings path tracing to Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.1, and Portal with RTX and the Half-Life 2 RTX demo now support RTX Spark
For creators, NVIDIA says RTX Spark can edit camera native 4:2:2 video and render 3D scenes of up to 90GB. Adobe Photoshop and Premiere have native support through beta releases.
Prices
NVIDIA says RTX Spark laptops start at $2,599 and does not state a currency. No Canadian dollar price or Canadian retailer appears in any source we read.
In the United States, Windows Central’s list runs from $2,599.99 for the Surface Laptop Ultra and ASUS ProArt P14 to $3,799.99 for the Dell XPS 16, with the ASUS ProArt P16 at $2,799.99. It names Best Buy, Microsoft.com, HP.com and MSI.com as places to buy.
Who it suits
Developers get CUDA on a laptop, so models and agents can run locally and later move to the cloud, with a path to more than 150 million RTX PCs, according to NVIDIA.
Creators who work with large video and 3D files are the group NVIDIA targets most directly, though the Adobe support is still in beta.
Gamers can use DLSS, ray tracing, Reflex and G-SYNC on hundreds of games, but these are premium laptops, and the starting price is high.
Canadian shoppers should treat this as a US-first launch until a maker confirms Canadian pricing and stock.
What is still unknown
Canadian availability and prices are unconfirmed. The performance and battery claims come from NVIDIA, and the sources do not include independent test results. NVIDIA also does not say which configuration the $2,599 entry price buys.
Next step
Open NVIDIA’s RTX Spark product page for the maker links, then check ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft and MSI Canada for CAD pricing. Wait for independent reviews if battery life matters to you.
