Summary
Six Nvidia RTX Spark laptops were ranked for gaming after hands-on testing, with HP’s OmniBook Ultra 16 taking the top spot on keyboard feel, OLED display quality and a low-profile design.
6,144 CUDA cores in the new thin-and-light systems helped push games well above 60 fps by eye at medium-to-high settings with DLSS enabled, suggesting Nvidia’s promised 1440p gaming at 100-plus fps is within reach.
HP beat rivals largely on build choices rather than raw chip power: Lenovo’s Yoga Pro 9n and MSI’s Prestige N16 Flip AI+ landed in A-tier, while Dell’s XPS 16 fell to C-tier because its flat zero-gap keyboard hurt gameplay.
Four emulated games, including 007 First Light, ran clearly through Windows Prism on Arm with no obvious latency, while anti-cheat support and more Arm-native titles signaled broader developer backing ahead of the fall launch.
