Smaller Microsoft Surface launching with Nvidia RTX Spark and 48 GB RAM

Notebookcheck reports that Microsoft may be developing a smaller Surface device codenamed “Minos” around NVIDIA’s RTX Spark platform. The report says the device could use a 12-inch display, making it smaller than the 15-inch Surface Laptop Ultra and the 13-inch Surface Laptop. Microsoft has scheduled an October 7 Surface event in San Francisco, where more information about its RTX Spark products is expected, but the company has not confirmed Minos.

The article attributes the details to leaker Roland Quandt and describes possible configurations with 24GB or 32GB of memory and 512GB or 1TB of storage. The Google News headline captured by the monitoring feed says 48GB, but Notebookcheck’s article text reports the 24GB and 32GB options; that discrepancy is unresolved. The alleged device’s design, processor configuration, launch date, pricing, operating system, thermals, battery life, and software compatibility remain unknown.

For Canadian buyers, the report is an early rumour rather than evidence of a product that can be ordered. The October event may clarify whether Microsoft intends to add a smaller RTX Spark Surface system, but it does not yet establish Canadian pricing, retailer stock, warranty terms, or release timing. Prospective buyers should wait for Microsoft’s specifications and independent testing before comparing a compact Surface with RTX Spark laptops, x86 mini PCs, or Apple silicon systems.
