For anyone curious to know how this will fare against Macbooks, at least in CPU perf: DGX Spark has the exact same GPU and CPU as the top RTX Spark laptops will, so you can just directly compare from that.

Of course, DGX Spark is a miniPC, so laptops will likely be slower due to power limits/throttling.

DGX Spark is really poor at inference due to the memory bandwidth so hopefully they’ve fixed that before touting this as a way to run local models.

I think DGX Spark has poor memory bandwidth because these laptops were the plan all along. NVIDIA didn't want to commit to the extra costs of a 512-bit memory bus for their first laptop SoC, so they went with the more modest 256-bit bus, same as AMD did for Strix Halo.

UEFI, display panels, wifi, storage controllers, etc would be what I'm worried about. I doubt Microsoft is going to make it easy.

DGX Spark is also $4700
