It ships with an Nvidia RTX GPU, configurable RAM and SSD options, and runs Windows 11 Pro. The box arrives in June and is priced starting at $2,999, with higher‑spec models costing up to $4,500.\n\nThe hardware is aimed at engineers and data scientists who have outgrown laptop performance but still want a Microsoft‑branded system. By offering a pre‑built, GPU‑ready workstation, Microsoft hopes to keep its ecosystem relevant for on‑prem AI workloads.\n\nThe move signals that big‑tech vendors are acknowledging a niche between consumer laptops and enterprise servers. Whether the Spark Dev Box will bite into the market dominated by custom builds remains to be seen.","[\"microsoft\",\"ai\",\"hardware\"]","2026-06-02T16:45:24.000Z","2026-06-02T17:43:39.846Z","2026-06-05T16:22:28.771Z","published",null,[],[25,26,27],"microsoft","ai","hardware",[29],{"name":30,"url":31},"Engadget","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.engadget.com\u002F2185865\u002Fmicrosoft-surface-rtx-spark-dev-box\u002F",0]
