HP has two models available directly in its web store, both of which support up to 128GB of unified memory (along with 64GB, 48GB, 32GB, and 24GB). Both models are significantly cheaper than the ProArt P16 with 128GB of unified memory. The OmniBook X comes in at $5,109, while the OmniBook Ultra runs $5,309, both with 1TB of storage.
The two models are very similar, differing primarily in screen size. The OmniBook X is 14 inches, and the OmniBook Ultra is 16 inches. Both come with a 3K OLED touch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and they support up to 2TB of storage.
With both laptops, you'll get a smaller 5120-core GPU with the 32GB configuration. With all other configurations, you get the full 6,144-core GPU available on the RTX Spark.
The Surface Laptop Ultra is a 15-inch laptop with the RTX Spark chip and up to 128GB of unified memory.

Finally, the Surface Laptop Ultra is available up to 128GB directly from Microsoft. It's also available from B&H, though it appears configurations with more memory capacity are exclusive to first-party sources right now.
Dell and Lenovo don't have devices available directly yet, so the only options for pre-order are what you can find at Best Buy.

Technical Specifications
Nvidia calls its latest SoC simply "RTX Spark," but it's actually a range with two different chips. The full chip comes with a 20-core Grace CPU and 6144-core Blackwell GPU, but there's a lower-end configuration with an 18-core Grace CPU and 5120-core Blackwell GPU.
Pay close attention to which you are pre-ordering. Listings will simply call the chip "RTX Spark N1X," and you have to read through the description to confirm the core counts on the CPU and GPU.
From the pre-orders available now, we've only seen the 18-core CPU/5120-core GPU version with laptops that have 24GB or 32GB of Unified Memory. Listings with 48GB or above have the full chip. The RTX Spark is available with several different memory capacities, including 24GB, 32GB, 48GB, 64GB, and 128GB.
For storage, we've seen configurations with 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB, though the vast majority of devices top out at 1TB, including the Surface Laptop Ultra. Undoubtedly we'll see configurations with more storage capacity eventually, but that's a tough sell right now when even a tricked-out 2TB configuration costs $7,000.
