Microsoft and Nvidia unveiled the first RTX Spark laptops, which run Windows on an Arm CPU and Nvidia’s Blackwell GPU. Windows now launches a new Get Started screen that lets users pick an AI agent, install it, and start using it in just two clicks. The first three agents – Hermes, Perplexity and OpenClaw – are available through the Windows Store, and updates are handled automatically. Microsoft says it has also tuned its Prism emulator and memory management for these devices.

## The facts
