    The Verge details top RTX Spark configs reaching $7,000

    Entry-level RTX Spark laptops start around $2,599, comparable to a similarly specced 14-inch MacBook Pro, but a maxed-out Asus ProArt P16 with 128GB of unified memory and 2TB storage costs $6,999.99.

    “Prices start much lower, but 128GB of unified memory is going to really cost you.”
    — Antonio G. Di Benedetto

      Lenovo's first NVIDIA Spark-powered laptops include the Yoga 9n 16" 2-in-1 that sells for $3100 and up, and the Lenovo Pro 9n 15" laptop that starts at $3000. Like other PCs with N1X chips, they're aimed at AI developers rather than general users. https://www. lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/resul…
