Microsoft offers its Surface RTX Spark Dev Box for preorder at $5,999 (about $6,000), with shipments planned for November. Outlets describe the device as a large, block-like development system built with a distinctive, flat design and a 3D-printed, anodized finish.
The Dev Box is positioned as an NVIDIA-powered workstation for development use, and multiple sources note its high cost compared with earlier NVIDIA-based small-form PCs such as the DGX Spark mini PC launched the previous year. The Verge adds that overall PC prices have risen due to component shortages, including RAM, contributing to the premium for the new hardware. While Engadget focuses more on the physical look and price tag, both outlets emphasize the same core details: preorder availability, the near-$6,000 price, and a November shipping timeframe.
