Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveiled the RTX Spark platform at Computex 2026. The platform pairs the GB10 Superchip with a Windows on Arm build aimed at running AI agents locally. Tom's Hardware tested this setup in a top‑end Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra. The review says local AI tasks run smoothly, but the laptop’s gaming performance is not its strong point.

## The facts

- RTX Spark platform announced at Computex 2026
- Test device: Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra (top‑end trim)

## Why it matters

For developers who want to run AI models on a laptop without cloud services, the RTX Spark chip shows promise, though gamers may need a different device.
