NVIDIA is moving the RTX Spark launch out of the keynote hall and into a Berlin electronics store.
The company will host a public RTX Spark Launch Celebration on Friday, October 16, the same day RTX Spark laptops become available.

XPERION at Alexanderplatz: Doors, Registration and Capacity
As TechPowerUp details, the party takes place at XPERION, the gaming and esports venue inside the Saturn store at Alexanderplatz 3.
The queue opens at 18:00 local time, with doors at 18:45.
NVIDIA requires registration through the Luma ticketing platform, and capacity is limited, especially for the stage program, so walk-ups aren’t guaranteed entry.
Food and drinks are covered while supplies last. Reports also say that Berlin’s Fernsehturm TV Tower will be lit in NVIDIA green for the occasion.
Jensen Huang-Signed ASUS ProArt P14 Laptops and a GeForce NOW Goodie Bag
The stage lineup features creators AlexiBexi, FalcoPunch and Alex Wätzel, plus a talk from CD Projekt Red, the studio behind The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, per TechPowerUp.
NVIDIA is raffling five ASUS ProArt P14 laptops signed by CEO Jensen Huang. Every attendee also receives a goodie bag containing a six-month GeForce NOW Ultimate membership, which is reportedly valued at more than €130.
What Attendees Can Test: Grace CPU, Blackwell GPU and 1440p Claims
Hands-on demo stations will let attendees test early hardware firsthand before buying.
Powered by an NVIDIA Grace CPU and Blackwell RTX GPU with 128GB of unified memory, the platform promises over 100 FPS at 1440p in AAA games using DLSS 5.
While these performance claims await independent benchmarks, attendees can evaluate the hardware across these upcoming gaming laptop models and compact desktop builds from partners like ASUS, Lenovo, and MSI ahead of retail availability on October 16.
