NVIDIA has started selling RTX Spark laptops, a new class of slim Windows PCs built around its Blackwell RTX graphics and the full NVIDIA AI platform. Prices start at $2,399, and systems are already coming from ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft and MSI, with more on the way.

The pitch is simple enough to fit on a spec sheet, but the hardware is doing a lot. RTX Spark combines an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with an NVIDIA Grace CPU in what the company calls a single superchip, with up to 1 petaflop of AI compute and up to 128GB of unified memory. That is a lot of muscle for something meant to stay portable.

NVIDIA marked the launch with retail events around the world, and Berlin got the flashiest one. During the Festival of Lights, the Berlin TV Tower carried RTX Spark-themed lighting, while fans gathered at XPERION inside Saturn at Alexanderplatz for demos, gaming sessions and local AI workflow previews. Founder and CEO Jensen Huang showed up unexpectedly, handed out popcorn, posed for selfies and signed five RTX Spark laptops.

Berlin was only one stop. NVIDIA says there were six retail launch celebrations worldwide, including Beijing, Istanbul, Seoul, San Francisco and Taipei. Each one was set up around the same core message: run local AI, create content and play games on a premium Windows laptop without having to treat the machine like a desktop in disguise.

For developers and AI enthusiasts, NVIDIA is also pointing people to tested recipes, playbooks and other resources for running local AI on RTX Spark. The company is clearly trying to make the launch feel less like a product drop and more like a small ecosystem landing at once.

My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting

NVIDIA has figured out the modern tech trick: sell a laptop, then wrap it in a little festival of inevitability. The real story here is not the Berlin spectacle, it’s how hard the industry is pushing local AI onto premium PCs because cloud dependence is becoming a nuisance. That’s a sane direction, and the hype parade is just the price of admission.
