Surface RTX Spark Dev Box is available for preorder for $5,999
Microsoft has opened preorders for its new Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, a high-end workstation designed specifically for AI developers. Priced at $5,999, the device features an Arm-based Nvidia platform and 128GB of memory to support local AI model testing and prototyping.
Why it matters
This device represents a shift toward specialized hardware for local AI development, allowing developers to run massive models without relying solely on cloud infrastructure.
Microsoft’s Nvidia-powered Surface RTX Spark Dev Box is available for preorder now directly, and slated to ship in November for just about $6,000. It’s pricier than the DGX Spark mini PC Nvidia launched last year, but PC prices have been climbing due to shortages of RAM and other components.
