Microsoft, Asus, Dell and more: The first laptops powered by Nvidia's RTX Spark revealed

For years, Nvidia has dominated conversations around graphics cards and artificial intelligence servers. Now, the company is setting its sights on a new target: the laptop processor market.

At Computex 2026, Nvidia unveiled RTX Spark, an Arm-based AI-focused superchip designed to power the next generation of Windows laptops. The announcement marks one of the company’s biggest moves yet into mainstream computing, with several major PC manufacturers already lining up devices powered by the new platform.

Microsoft, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo and MSI have all confirmed plans to launch RTX Spark-powered laptops later this year, signalling a major shift in the race to build AI-first personal computers.

Nvidia RTX Spark: Which laptops will be powered by the new chip?

Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra: Among the first devices to showcase Nvidia’s new chip is Microsoft's Surface Laptop Ultra, which the company is calling its most powerful Surface device to date.

The laptop comes with a 15-inch PixelSense Ultra mini-LED touchscreen capable of reaching an impressive 2,000 nits of peak HDR brightness. Microsoft is positioning the device as a premium machine for users who want a blend of AI performance, productivity and portability.

With RTX Spark at its core, the Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to become a flagship example of Nvidia’s vision for AI-powered personal computing.

Asus ProArt lineup: Asus is taking a different approach by focusing on content creators and creative professionals.

The company has introduced two RTX Spark-powered additions to its ProArt family: the ProArt P16 and ProArt P14.

The larger ProArt P16 features a 16-inch 4K OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, up to 128GB of LPDDR5X memory, storage configurations reaching 2TB and a sizeable 99.9Wh battery. Meanwhile, the more portable ProArt P14 offers a 14-inch 3K OLED display, up to 128GB of memory and up to 1TB of storage.

Both machines include Pantone-validated screens, Dolby Vision support and touchscreen functionality. Asus has also refreshed the user experience by replacing its signature DialPad control wheel with new haptic touchpad features.

MSI Prestige N16 Flip AI Plus: MSI's contribution to the RTX Spark ecosystem comes in the form of the Prestige N16 Flip AI Plus, a convertible 2-in-1 laptop designed for users who want versatility.

The device features a 16-inch 4K OLED display capable of exceeding 1,000 nits of brightness and covering 100 per cent of the DCI-P3 colour gamut.

MSI is also introducing support for its Nano Pen stylus. Interestingly, the accessory can serve not only as a traditional digital pen but also as an AI microphone designed to enhance Microsoft Copilot interactions.

Dell, HP and Lenovo to join the lineup

The RTX Spark rollout will extend well beyond flagship showcase devices.

Dell has confirmed an updated XPS 16 powered by Nvidia’s new processor, bringing AI capabilities to one of its most recognisable premium laptop brands.

HP is preparing two models built around RTX Spark: the OmniBook X 14 and the OmniBook Ultra 16. Lenovo, meanwhile, plans to integrate the chip into its Yoga Pro 9n series.

What makes RTX Spark different?

At the heart of Nvidia’s new platform is a powerful combination of CPU, GPU and AI capabilities. The top-end RTX Spark configuration includes 20 CPU cores, 6,144 GPU cores and support for up to 128GB of LPDDR5X memory.

The architecture is closely related to the processor used in Nvidia’s DGX Spark AI workstation, though consumer laptops will also be available in more affordable configurations starting with 16GB of memory.

With promises of strong AI performance, longer battery life and thinner designs, RTX Spark represents Nvidia’s boldest attempt yet to reshape the laptop market. And if the list of launch partners is any indication, the company’s ambitions are being taken very seriously by the PC industry.
