First Nvidia RTX Spark laptops shown at IFA 2026
Lenovo's Yoga 9n 2-in-1 is the first hands-on look at Nvidia's RTX Spark superchip, which packs a Grace CPU and Blackwell RTX GPU into one SoC.
The first laptops built around Nvidia's RTX Spark "superchip", announced three months ago, appeared at the IFA 2026 show in Berlin. Wired got hands-on with the Lenovo Yoga 9n 2-in-1, a 16-inch machine with a 360-degree hinge.
The OLED touch display runs at 2880 x 1800 with a 120 Hz refresh rate. The chassis carries a six-speaker sound system and a 9.2-megapixel webcam, and measures 0.69 inches thick, only 0.03 inches more than the 16-inch MacBook Pro.
One chip for CPU, GPU and memory
Nvidia's Arm-based part combines a Grace CPU with "up to 20 cores" and a Blackwell RTX GPU with "up to 6,144 cores", packaged together with memory in a single SoC, closer to Apple silicon than to a conventional Windows laptop. Judging by core count alone, Wired places the integrated GPU somewhere between a laptop RTX 5070 Ti and an RTX 5080. No battery-life figures were given.
The Yoga 9n 2-in-1 tops out at 64 GB of memory. The 15-inch Yoga Pro 9n goes up to 128 GB, uses a 2560 x 1600 OLED panel, measures 0.66 inches at its thinnest point and adds a Force Pad touchpad that accepts stylus input from the Yoga Pen Gen 2.
Mini PCs and the missing prices
More RTX Spark laptops arrive this fall: the Dell XPS 16, Asus ProArt P16, Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra and the 14-inch HP OmniBook X 14. Acer announced the SFF RTX Spark mini desktop after Asus showed its ProArt Mini PC earlier in the summer. Both are roughly Mac mini sized and claim "a petaflop of AI performance" with up to 128 GB of memory.
Lenovo also introduced the ThinkCentre X Ultra with AMD's Ryzen Max+ Pro 495 and 128 GB of memory, starting at $3,699. RTX Spark pricing has yet to be disclosed. Read Wired's first look.
