This is your laptop… on AI

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveiled a new laptop design and computing paradigm at Computex, centered on the company's RTX Spark AI hardware. The announcement, part of a broader push from Big Tech, raises questions about consumer demand for AI-driven personal computers.

We’re now deep into developer conference season, and one of the themes so far is the relentless conviction from Big Tech companies that AI is going to change everything about how we do everything. Nvidia’s Jensen Huang made that clearer than anyone this week, when he described a completely new way of using our laptops /tech/942588/nvidia-rtx-spark-n2x-n3x-r2-d2-star-trek-star-wars-plan — and a completely new kind of laptop /gadgets/940794/first-nvidia-rtx-spark-laptops-roundup-computex-2026 made to support it.

On this episode of The Vergecast https://pod.link/vergecast , Nilay and David run through a lot of the products coming out of Microsoft Build and Google I/O, from Gemini Spark /ai-artificial-intelligence/941388/gemini-spark-ai-agent-trip-planning to the Nvidia RTX Spark /tech/940589/nvidia-rtx-spark-n1-n1x-laptop-desktop-pc-cpu-gpu-ai-release-date to Microsoft’s Scout /news/939713/microsoft-scout-assistant-openclaw and Solara /news/941830/microsoft-project-solara-os-ai-agent-gadgets projects. AI agents are everywhere, doing everything, and we’re not exactly sure how to feel about it. Are we due for a complete re-think of our laptops, just so they can run AI models? Or is “more powerful laptop” enough to get the job done? After that, it’s time for the Hype Desk, Brendan Carr is a Dummy, our thoughts about WWDC, and a deeply silly Meta hack.
