Nvidia’s RTX Spark Laptops Target Apple With $7,000 Price Tags

The hardware rollout includes entries from major manufacturers such as Dell, Lenovo, MSI, HP, and Asus, alongside Microsoft’s flagship Surface Laptop Ultra. Entry-level models offer an 18-core CPU, 24GB of unified memory, and 512GB of storage. While these specifications mirror the performance tier of a 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 Pro chip, the competitive landscape narrows significantly as memory demands grow.

At the top of the range, the Asus ProArt P16 is priced at $6,999.99 for a 20-core chip, 128GB of memory, and 2TB of storage. Microsoft’s pricing strategy remains partially obscured, though a 48GB Surface Laptop Ultra model is currently listed at $3,999.99 at retail. These figures reflect a broader industry trend where high-end components, particularly unified memory, drive costs into premium territory. Consumers can expect these devices to hit the market starting October 16th.
