The first RTX Spark laptops launch October 16 — starting at $2,599, topping out at $6,999.99 for the Asus ProArt P16 with 128GB of unified memory and 2TB storage. That’s the highest confirmed price so far for any laptop powered by Nvidia’s new chip, which replaces traditional CPU-GPU memory separation with a single pool accessible by both processors. Unified memory matters most for AI workloads running locally: large language model inference, video generation, and real-time 3D rendering all benefit from faster data movement between compute units. But it also means memory scales steeply in cost, and in this case, it’s the main driver pushing the Asus model past $6,000. A mid-tier 48GB Surface Laptop Ultra is already listed at $3,999.99 on Best Buy, while Dell, Lenovo, HP, and MSI models begin at the same $2,599 floor as Microsoft’s flagship. That entry point matches the price of a 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Pro. Though Apple includes 1TB of storage standard, versus 512GB on the base RTX Spark configs. The Verge notes that maxed-out M5 Max MacBooks can approach $10,000, so RTX Spark isn’t breaking new ground in pricing, just redefining where the high end starts for Windows AI workstations. Availability begins October 16. No Indian pricing has been announced.
