Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
Microsoft announced the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box at Build 2026, a compact desktop computer powered by NVIDIA's RTX Spark architecture and designed specifically for AI developers. The system features 128GB of memory and supports running 120B-parameter AI models locally. It follows the recently introduced Surface Laptop Ultra as the second Surface device with RTX Spark technology. The Dev Box will launch later this year exclusively through Microsoft's online store, with pricing yet to be announced.
