Microsoft opened orders on Wednesday and five other makers follow on 16 October. The 128GB version is the one that runs the big models, and I would wait for independent tests before buying one.
Microsoft's RTX Spark laptop now costs less than NVIDIA's own DGX Spark with the same memory. The DGX Spark is the one that can be joined to other boxes, and I do not know yet how many of the recipes its owners share will work on Windows.
NVIDIA confirmed at IFA in Berlin that RTX Spark PCs would ship in October, and released PAIR, a free tool that spreads AI work across the PCs on a home network. Nobody outside NVIDIA had benchmarked an RTX Spark, and I think the free speed-up for RTX cards mattered more on the day.
