Windows laptops have been chasing the gold that Apple struck years ago with its M-series chips. Back in 2020, Apple revealed a new lineup of MacBooks powered by silicon that seemed generations ahead in efficiency, integration, and even performance. It was a system that was built around the hardware instead of merely running on top of it.
At Computex 2026, Nvidia RTX Spark looked like one of the m
