NVIDIA RTX Spark Laptops Launch, Challenging Apple with Unified Memory AI Chips

NVIDIA has begun shipping its RTX Spark laptops, featuring a Grace Arm CPU and Blackwell-based RTX GPU with up to 128GB of unified memory. This launch directly targets the "AI PC" market, aiming to enable local large language model inference and compete with Apple's M5 family. Laptops from six major OEMs are available, with compact desktop systems to follow in November.
