Nvidia RTX Spark Laptops Debut With Prices Up to $7,000

The first laptops built on Nvidia's new RTX Spark chip start at $2,599 and run as high as $6,999.99 for the most heavily configured model, according to pricing published by manufacturers and reported by The Verge.

Dell, Lenovo, MSI, HP, Asus and Microsoft are all shipping RTX Spark laptops aimed at buyers who would otherwise consider a high-end MacBook Pro, The Verge reported.

What do RTX Spark laptops cost at launch?

Entry-level RTX Spark configurations start at $2,599, according to The Verge. That price buys an 18-core CPU, 24GB of unified memory and 512GB of storage. Microsoft's own RTX Spark machine, the 15-inch Surface Laptop Ultra, also starts at $2,599, per the outlet.

How does that compare to MacBook Pro pricing?

The $2,599 entry price lands close to a similarly specced 14-inch MacBook Pro with Apple's M5 Pro chip, The Verge reported. Apple's machine, however, ships with 1TB of storage at that price point, versus 512GB on the base RTX Spark configuration — a gap the outlet flagged directly in its comparison.

What does the most expensive configuration include?

The priciest RTX Spark laptop identified so far is the Asus ProArt P16, which The Verge reported can run up to $6,999.99 when configured with a 20-core chip, 128GB of unified memory and 2TB of storage. The jump from $2,599 to nearly $7,000 is driven largely by the memory upgrade, the outlet noted, since 128GB of unified memory carries a steep premium over the base 24GB tier.

Which other brands are selling RTX Spark machines?

Beyond Asus and Microsoft, Dell, Lenovo, MSI and HP are also releasing RTX Spark laptops, according to The Verge. The outlet did not publish full configuration-by-configuration pricing for every brand, but confirmed the shared $2,599 entry point across the lineup's base models.

Is Microsoft's full Surface Laptop Ultra pricing available yet?

Not yet. The Verge reported that Microsoft's preorder page for the Surface Laptop Ultra currently offers only an email sign-up rather than a full configurator, so the complete range of pricing above the $2,599 starting point for that specific model has not been published.

RTX Spark pricing at a glance

• Entry configuration: $2,599 — 18-core CPU, 24GB unified memory, 512GB storage
• Top configuration (Asus ProArt P16): $6,999.99 — 20-core chip, 128GB unified memory, 2TB storage
• Comparable 14-inch MacBook Pro (M5 Pro): similar entry price, but with 1TB storage included

The pricing spread underscores how memory capacity, rather than CPU core count alone, is driving cost at the high end of Nvidia's new laptop category. Buyers weighing a $7,000 RTX Spark machine against Apple's lineup will be comparing unified-memory ceilings and storage trade-offs rather than a single headline number, based on the configurations The Verge has confirmed so far.
