MSI's slim two-in-one uses Nvidia's RTX Spark Arm chip

We finally have sight of Nvidia's Arm-based CPU and of laptops that will use it, such as the MSI Prestige N16 Flip AI+. The machine is notably thin because it drops a discrete GPU in favor of Nvidia's all-in-one N1X-based "superchip" called RTX Spark, which aims to blend gaming and AI capabilities.

That approach lets the laptop offer a 16-inch UHD+ Tandem OLED display, a 99.9Wh battery, an MSI Nano Pen, an MSI Action Touchpad, and a versatile flip form factor for tablet, tent, or laptop modes. Make no mistake: it's being positioned as a gaming PC, and Nvidia has confirmed earlier rumours that the chip can deliver RTX 5070-level frame rates in some titles, though performance will vary by game.

The caveat is that RTX Spark is Arm-based and runs Windows-on-Arm, so some apps will need to be emulated through Microsoft's Prism layer and the experience won't match a standard x86 system in all respects. The two-in-one design shows how thin an RTX 5070-level laptop can be compared with traditional hardware using a discrete GPU.
