NVIDIA RTX Spark Laptop

[Pearce]

Anyone bought a new laptop that has nvidia rtx spark?

Is it sufficient enough to run local AI?

 

[trento]

Don't have but Spark is super high end stuff, more than sufficient. Actually any modern laptop can run local AI small models.

I read reviews and it appear to be still macbook pro better and more economical. Sparks lappy is like 6k plus.

Confirm not enough for top tier models.

It's more than enough for top tier. 128gb unified memory. Only top end macs has. Those will cost more than Spark but it's slightly better.

Tbh i so far only trust deepseek for open models, Kimi too slow but near Claude. Deepseek is so cheap and so good in agentic work. Is my coolie with a chatgpt and claude manager providing eye power.

6k can buy alot of deepseek api and do alot of work

I will only host if they are superior enough or for uncensored unrestricted content
