    HP Mini PC with Nvidia RTX Spark, 128GB RAM, ConnectX-7

    Key Takeaway

    – HP’s unnamed RTX Spark mini PC features a bold, prototype-level design with unlabeled ports.
    – It includes two proprietary Nvidia ConnectX-7 data-center-grade ports, which may not appear in the final retail version.
    – HP is one of several OEMs that have not published press releases or announced pricing/availability for their RTX Spark mini PCs.
    – The overall marketing and rollout of Nvidia’s RTX Spark mini PCs at Computex 2026 has been lackluster, despite their potential to compete with Apple’s Mac Mini and Mac Studio.

    First Look at HP’s Mysterious New Mini PC

    While the new HP OmniDesk Mini Desktop PC was unveiled as the world’s first “Mini AI PC” to feature Thunderbolt Share, the company’s first RTX Spark-powered mini PC somehow went unnder the radar in the first few days of Computex 2026. However, the wait is now over, as we can reveal hands-on images of HP’s RTX Spark mini PC, which might just have the boldest design of all new Nvidia RTX Spark-powered mini PCs announced at Computex (from Asus, Dell, MSI, and Lenovo).

    The Name is Still a Mystery

    What’s interesting is that HP hasn’t decided on a name yet. As bizarre as it sounds, none of the reports from Computex 2026 mention a name for the mini PC, while HP’s press release for the new OmniBook Ultra 16 and OmniBook X 14 explicitly says the mini PC is indeed on the way but doesn’t share a name for it. On top of that, none of the ports on the PC are labeled, which signals we might be looking at a prototype of the final design.

    Unique Ports and Connectivity

    Speaking of ports, the I/O layout of HP’s RTX Spark mini PC is similar to other RTX Spark mini PCs but, at the same time, it stands out due to the inclusion of two proprietary Nvidia ConnectX-7 ports. Whether the data-center-grade ports will remain on the final retail version of the PC or they are exclusive to the units showcased at Computex remains to be seen. Perhaps HP is planning to launch two completely different RTX Spark mini PCs (and this has something to do with the whole naming mystery).

    The I/O on HP’s RTX Spark mini PC is as follows:

    • 2x Nvidia ConnectX-7 ports
    • Standard USB Type-A and Type-C ports
    • HDMI and DisplayPort outputs
    • Ethernet jack
    • Audio jack

    Pricing and Availability Still Undisclosed

    As the story with all new Nvidia Spark RTX laptops and mini PCs goes, HP is yet to announce pricing and availability for its nameless RTX Spark mini PC. Strangely enough, while the naming mystery stands out, HP is one of several OEMs refusing to publish press releases on their new RTX Spark mini PCs, even though they were officially revealed at Computex 2026.

    All in all, the hardware marketing around Nvidia’s new chips seems to be rather lackluster following Computex 2026. That’s somewhat bizarre considering these new mini PCs (and laptops) are supposed to be game-changing for the prosumer Windows market and even rival Apple’s super-popular Mac Mini and Mac Studio.
