RTX Spark laptops reach $6,999.99 in early pricing
Nvidia’s new RTX Spark systems start at $2,599, with Asus listing a top configuration at $6,999.99. Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Ultra pricing remains incomplete.
The Asus ProArt P16 RTX Spark laptop is listed at $6,999.99 with a 20-core chip, 128GB of unified memory and 2TB of storage. That price sits at the top of early RTX Spark laptop offers, which begin at $2,599. The systems are aimed at high-end creators and people running AI workloads locally, according to The Verge.
The available figures show a wide spread between entry and top configurations, while Microsoft has not published a complete price range. The early line-up includes systems from Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo and MSI, alongside Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Ultra. The figures concern laptop configurations and listed prices, rather than a confirmed common specification across every manufacturer.
The listed configurations span a broad range
The $2,599 starting price applies to configurations with an 18-core CPU, 24GB of unified memory and 512GB of storage, according to The Verge. Those specifications describe the entry point cited for RTX Spark laptops from Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo and MSI, as well as the Surface Laptop Ultra. The source does not identify which manufacturer will sell each exact entry configuration. It therefore remains unclear whether every participating company will offer a system at that same price and specification.
At the other end, Asus lists the ProArt P16 RTX Spark laptop with a 20-core chip, 128GB of unified memory and 2TB of storage for $6,999.99. That is the highest RTX Spark price reported in the source material. The Verge describes the system as a fully configured option, but does not provide a complete menu of alternatives. Buyers cannot infer from the disclosed details how each component changes the price.
Microsoft has not published its full range
Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Ultra does not yet have a complete set of publicly reported configurations in the material. Its preorder page offers an email sign-up for updates, according to The Verge. A 48GB model at Best Buy is listed at $3,999.99, providing one price point for the device. The source does not state the storage specification or other configuration details for that model.
The early pricing puts RTX Spark laptops in a segment where high specifications and high costs appear together. The Verge characterises the first systems as aimed at creators and users of local AI, while the reported specifications vary considerably between the entry offer and Asus’s top listing. The source also notes that high-priced laptops already exist, citing an option to configure a 16-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 Max chip to $10,000. That comparison gives context for the price range, but does not establish equivalent specifications or performance.
The launch is expected from October 16th
The Surface Laptop Ultra and other RTX Spark laptops are due to launch during October, with availability reported as early as October 16th. The source names Microsoft, Dell, Lenovo, MSI, HP and Asus among the companies bringing these systems to market. It does not provide a country for each company or say that every model will be available on the same date. Nor does it disclose full configuration details for the Surface Laptop Ultra.
The remaining questions concern the final retail configurations, the breadth of Microsoft’s offer and whether the reported prices will cover all listed models. Microsoft has not supplied a full configuration range in the cited material, and no company response beyond the reported listings is included. The next concrete step is the stated October launch, when additional product and pricing details may become available. Until then, the disclosed figures describe only selected configurations and early listings.
