If you only eat one bagel today, this is the bagel.
Summary
A review of NVIDIA's DGX Spark desktop "AI supercomputer" — a $4,000 device roughly the size of a Mac mini. The author received a preview unit from NVIDIA (first sponsored post, though with no editorial input from NVIDIA). The article covers first impressions of the hardware design and early ecosystem observations, noting the device is snazzy and compact with a textured surface, but the ecosystem is still in early stages.

You can consider this my first ever sponsored post if you like, but they did not pay me any cash and aside from an embargo date they did not request (nor would I grant) any editorial input into what I write about the device.
First impressions are that this is a snazzy little computer.
It's similar in size to a Mac mini, but with an exciting textured surface that feels refreshing.
