Although we recently reported on the unveiling of the new Yoga Pro 9n, which is Lenovo’s first laptop powered by Nvidia’s revolutionary RTX Spark platform, Lenovo has proven to be one of the most secretive companies at this year’s Computex trade show.
Despite Lenovo’s reluctance to publish press releases for its new hardware, we no longer have to wait to check out the brand-new Lenovo SFF RTX Spark, which (as the name implies) becomes the first Lenovo mini PC to get the Arm-based RTX Spark chips.
The Lenovo SFF RTX Spark is one of five RTX Spark mini PCs to have been revealed at Computex 2026, which ended 3 days ago on June 5, and it arrives in a pretty minimalistic dual-tone box in the colors black and silver. Unlike the Dell XPS RTX Spark Desktop, which has two USB-C ports and an SD card reader on the front, Lenovo’s mini PC hides all of its ports in the back (something many PC users find to be inconvenient).
The (rear-facing) port selection on the new Lenovo SFF RTX Spark mini PC is as follows:
- 1x USB-C port marked for Power Delivery (charging)
- 2x high-speed USB-C ports (rated for 20Gbps data transfer)
- 1x HDMI port for video output
- 1x 10Gb LAN port
- Power button

Lenovo’s new SFF RTX Spark mini PC has a minimalistic design; lacks the SD card slot and rich port selection of the competing Dell XPS RTX Spark mini PC
So far, only Asus has revealed the thermal headroom of its new RTX Spark mini PC, the Asus ProArt, which is built around 140W of thermal ceiling. Cooling capacity depends on each manufacturer’s specific chassis design and performance priorities, so Lenovo may target lower or higher thermal capacity, depending on the factors it chooses to prioritize for the Lenovo SFF RTX Spark (like noise, portability, or cost).
The SFF RTX Spark mini PC uses the same RTX Spark platform as the newly-announced Yoga Pro 9n laptop. The RTX Spark is said to come in at least two flavors, dubbed as the N1x and N1. Of course, specific configurations and their pricing will vary widely, depending on RAM and SSD size.
Nvidia RTX Spark platform – key specs:
- AI performance: Up to 1 petaflop (FP4 precision).
- Unified memory: Up to 128 GB LPDDR5X.
- Memory bandwidth: Up to 300 GB/s.
- GPU cores: Up to 6,144 Blackwell CUDA cores.
- CPU cores: Up to 20 Arm-based cores (Grace microarchitecture).
- Up to “12K” video editing [meaning 12,288 by 6,912, perhaps?], and 1440p AAA gaming.
Just like with all other Nvidia Spark RTX laptops and mini PCs, Lenovo is yet to announce pricing and availability for the Lenovo SFF RTX Spark mini PC. In fact, this early reveal is a collection of official specs and features based on Nvidia’s press release and hands-on previews.
Like Dell, Lenovo is one of the few OEMs that hasn’t published press releases for their new RTX Spark mini PCs, even though they were officially revealed at Computex 2026.

Martin started writing about tech in 2021, hitting “publish” on nearly 800 feature articles in four years. Possibly a Guinness world record. Or at least a Heineken.
