The first wave of laptops powered by NVIDIA's RTX Spark platform is now taking shape, with models from Microsoft, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo and MSI available or preparing to open for preorder.
Prices currently start at $2,599.99 for Microsoft's Surface Laptop Ultra and the ASUS ProArt P14. At the other end of the initial lineup, Dell's XPS 16 starts at $3,799.99.
Most of these systems are expected to begin shipping on October 16, although HP's two RTX Spark laptops are scheduled for November 4.
The range shows that manufacturers are positioning RTX Spark primarily for premium laptops aimed at creators and power users rather than mainstream buyers.
RTX Spark Laptop Prices Range From $2,599 to $3,799
Microsoft's Surface Laptop Ultra is one of the least expensive options announced so far.
It starts at $2,599.99 and combines NVIDIA's RTX Spark platform with an N1X processor, RTX graphics and configurations offering up to 128 GB of unified memory. Microsoft is also using a mini LED display and a broad selection of ports.
ASUS matches Microsoft's entry price with the ProArt P14 at $2,599.99. The larger ProArt P16 starts at $2,799.99.
| RTX Spark laptop | Starting price | Expected shipping |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra | $2,599.99 | October 16 |
| ASUS ProArt P14 | $2,599.99 | October 16 |
| ASUS ProArt P16 | $2,799.99 | October 16 |
| HP OmniBook X 14 | $2,999.99 | November 4 |
| Lenovo Yoga 9n | $3,099.99 | October 16 |
| HP OmniBook Ultra 16 | $3,199.99 | November 4 |
| MSI Prestige N16 Flip AI+ | $3,299.99 | Preorders expected October 8 |
| Dell XPS 16 | $3,799.99 | October 16 |
The ProArt P14 is designed as the more portable option and is described as the lightest ProArt laptop so far.
The ProArt P16 targets buyers who want a larger screen and includes an OLED display while retaining the same RTX Spark platform.
Dell XPS 16 Is the Most Expensive Model So Far
Dell's XPS 16 currently has the highest starting price among the confirmed systems at $3,799.99.
It includes a 3.2K OLED display, Dell's distinctive lattice free keyboard design and the premium construction associated with the XPS family.
That puts it more than $1,000 above the starting prices of the Surface Laptop Ultra and ASUS ProArt P14.
HP is taking a two size approach.
The OmniBook X 14 starts at $2,999.99 and uses the same RTX Spark options available in HP's larger system. It is aimed at buyers who want a more portable machine without giving up the new platform.
The OmniBook Ultra 16 starts at $3,199.99 and adds a larger 16 inch OLED display with 3K resolution.
Both HP laptops are expected to begin shipping on November 4.
Lenovo and MSI Focus on Convertible Designs
Lenovo's Yoga 9n starts at $3,099.99 and uses a convertible design that allows the laptop to work in multiple positions.
It is scheduled to begin shipping on October 16.
MSI is also targeting buyers who want a flexible form factor with the Prestige N16 Flip AI+.
The MSI model combines the RTX Spark platform with a Tandem OLED display and a convertible design. Pricing begins at $3,299.99, with preorders expected to open on October 8.
These two systems show how manufacturers are using RTX Spark across more than conventional creator laptops.
RTX Spark Is Launching Across a Broad Premium Laptop Range
The initial RTX Spark lineup already covers compact creator systems, large OLED laptops, convertible models and Microsoft's new Surface flagship.
Microsoft and ASUS currently offer the lowest entry prices at $2,599.99, while Dell is charging the largest premium with the $3,799.99 XPS 16.
For buyers focused mainly on price, the Surface Laptop Ultra and ProArt P14 provide the most accessible entry points into the platform.
Those who prioritize display size, OLED panels or convertible designs have more expensive alternatives from ASUS, HP, Lenovo and MSI.
More RTX Spark laptops are expected to appear as additional manufacturers finalize their own designs. For now, October 16 is shaping up as the main launch date for the first group of systems, while HP's models will follow in early November.
