The company says the laptops offer up to 128GB of unified memory and 1 petaflop of AI compute. It has not given a price.
A setup screen will let owners choose and install an AI agent when they first start the laptop. Nvidia says GitHub Copilot, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, Perplexity, Pi and WorkBuddy can recommend a local model and settings for RTX Spark. OpenClaw and GitHub Copilot support MXC, an operating system security technology for agents. Hermes Agent is due to add MXC and Nvidia OpenShell controls by the end of the month.
