RTX Spark laptops available on Friday, 16 October 2026
“Last week, NVIDIA and Microsoft announced that RTX Spark laptops will be available on Friday, Oct. 16.”
Context: NVIDIA blog "All Systems Go: Global PC App Ecosystem Ready for NVIDIA RTX Spark" by Gerardo Delgado, 13 Oct 2026, restating the joint NVIDIA/Microsoft availability date for RTX Spark laptops (Surface Laptop Ultra and OEM partners). Tom's Hardware (pre-order roundup) says devices "will start shipping on Friday, October 16." The Verge says Surface Laptop Ultra and other RTX Spark laptops are "launching this month — as early as October 16th."
How we judge it
Our interpretation: kept if by 16 Oct 2026 (America/Los_Angeles end of day) RTX Spark laptops are available for customer purchase and/or shipping from NVIDIA, Microsoft, or a major OEM/retailer (pre-orders that only ship after 16 Oct do not count as availability on that date); broken if no RTX Spark laptop SKU is available to buy or ship on or before that date. Soft launch in one region counts as kept.
