Awesome, won't be buying it all at current prices but once they calm down, I will very much like to get one.

Around 2-3K USD something with a good GPU + CPU + 128GB of integrated RAM is just going to be an awesome experience.

Considering Mac options are north of 5K+ even on a regular day.

DGX Spark is $4700, so I kind of doubt that RTX Spark's top configs will be cheaper than that.
The DGX also contains the 200 GbE networking and linux support.
The ConnectX 7 2x200 Gbps networking card in the DGX Spark alone is worth $700
To be fair the connectx-7 in the spark can't even push 2x200 Gbps since it is connected via 4 pcie lanes.
Technically it's connected via 8 PCIe gen 5 lanes (two 4x connections), allowing ~100Gbps per port.
Thanks for the correction. I should have looked it up; I only remembered it being somewhat odd.
Yes, ConnectX-7 itself is capable of 32x PCIe5 lanes, but the lane limitations of the GB10 SoC/chipset throttle it:

Laptops will also have to contain a much tighter configuration, display, keyboard, camera, etc ;)
there is desktop variant as well
isn't dgx ai first and rtx prosumer first. I think it will be cheaper longer term not atm with component inflation
