Nvidia’s RTX Spark N1X SoC is real — and it’s shipping in the Asus ProArt P16 this week, starting at $2,700. That price buys the base model: a 20-core Arm CPU (10 Cortex-X925 + 10 Cortex-A725), a 6,144-core Blackwell GPU, 24 GB of unified LPDDR5X-9400 memory, and a 512 GB SSD. The top-tier configuration bumps memory to 64 GB and keeps the same N1X chip, still no official pricing for that variant beyond ‘more than $2,700’ in PC Gamer’s reporting from the launch event. In India, no pricing has been disclosed yet. None of the sources mention Indian or regional pricing at all. So for now, this is a US-only launch with a US-only price tag: $2,700 minimum. No UK, EU, or Indian figures appear anywhere in the reporting. And yes. It runs Windows. Not Windows on Arm. Just Windows. Microsoft dropped the suffix months ago, and Nvidia’s platform is part of that pivot. It’s not a Linux-first device like the DGX Spark desktop, which launched last year with the same N1X silicon. This one ships with Prism, the emulation layer Microsoft is beefing up to run x86/x64 games on Arm. And full anti-cheat support, though PC Gamer notes that Epic is still working on the Linux side of that stack. The GPU architecture mirrors the desktop RTX 5070 (GB205), but with trade-offs: slower LPDDR5X memory, reduced L2 cache, and a 256-bit bus delivering 300 GB/s bandwidth, less than half the 672 GB/s of the desktop chip. Nvidia itself says gaming performance will align more closely with the mobile RTX 5070, not the desktop version. That matters. Because while the RTX Spark N1X promises AI acceleration, creator workflows, and gaming in one package, PC Gamer’s hands-on verdict is blunt: ‘not a platform I can really recommend to the average PC gamer.’ Too expensive. Too early. Too much still in flux. The Asus ProArt P16 isn’t a gaming laptop first. It’s a mobile workstation built around unified memory, aimed at developers running local LLMs, video editors pushing 8K timelines, and researchers prototyping agentic AI. Gamers already have better value elsewhere. But if you’re the kind of buyer who needs 128 GB of unified memory, wants to run Stable Diffusion and Unreal Engine 5 natively on Arm, and doesn’t blink at $2,700 for a laptop that looks like a Razer Blade but runs on an all-Nvidia stack, this is your machine. Availability starts this week. No exact date given. But PC Gamer says ‘this week’. So expect units to land in US retail channels before Friday.
