<![CDATA[ <article> <p>Prices for the highly coveted Nvidia DGX Spark mini PC are wallet-squeezing right now. Direct from Nvidia, the <a href="https://marketplace.nvidia.com/en-us/enterprise/personal-ai-supercomputers/nvidia-dgx-spark/" target="_blank">Mac mini-sized supercomputer is $6,950</a>, and elsewhere, prices are massively inflated by third-party resellers (there's one for <a href="https://www.newegg.com/nvidia-dgx-spark-founders-edition-mini-pc/p/N82E16883986001" target="_blank">almost 10Gs at Newegg</a>, and another for <a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/NVIDIA-DGX-Spark-NVIDIA-GB10-Grace-Blackwell-Superchip-128-GB-LPDDR5x-4-TB-NVME-M2-SSD/17429113928?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=360&veh=seo_fpl&cn=google" target="_blank">$9K at Best Buy</a>). But there is a cheaper way to get the same level of performance without the extra cost. </p><p>Currently, the <a href="https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/desktop-computers/spd/dellpromaxwithgb10fcm1253/fcm1253_reg_01" target="_blank">Dell Pro Precision with GB10 is listed at $5,903 at Dell</a>. The SFF machine runs Nvidia DGX OS 7 on the GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip with 128GB LPDDR5x, up to 8533 MT/s, and 2TB SSD storage. You can even shave a little extra off that cost, too, by opting for 1TB SSD configuration for $5,523. </p><p><strong>• Best for:</strong> AI engineers running larger local AI models. </p><p><strong>• Why we like it: </strong>Running the same chip and memory as Nvidia's machine, Dell's Pro Precision is a much better price than the DGX Spark, which is fast becoming like gold-dust on the market. </p><div class="product"><a data-dimension112="89d15bbc-cd67-11f1-a059-9d701b506021" data-action="Deal Block" data-label="Pro Precision with GB10" data-dimension48="Pro Precision with GB10" data-dimension25="$5903" href="https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/desktop-computers/spd/dellpromaxwithgb10fcm1253/fcm1253_reg_01" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><figure class="van-image-figure " ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:3213px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:50.51%;"><img id="WHtHAbURU6WnU52CaFnBXi" name="dell-pro-precision-with-gb10-eb69c013-a654-48d9-951e-83072deb202c.png" caption="" alt="" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/WHtHAbURU6WnU52CaFnBXi-1920-80.png" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="3213" height="1623" attribution="" endorsement="" credit="" class=""></p></div></div></figure></a><p><strong><a href="https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/desktop-computers/spd/dellpromaxwithgb10fcm1253/fcm1253_reg_01" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-dimension112="89d15bbc-cd67-11f1-a059-9d701b506021" data-action="Deal Block" data-label="Pro Precision with GB10" data-dimension48="Pro Precision with GB10" data-dimension25="$5903">Pro Precision with GB10: $5903</a></strong><br>The Dell Pro Precision is equipped with the GB10 superchip, which is also found in Nvidia's DGX Spark PC.

You're saving over a thousand bucks compared to Nvidia's DGX Spark. </p><p>The chip itself combines an Arm-based CPU with a Blackwell GPU, paired with a massive 128GB memory for AI-oriented tasks. For local AI inferencing and development, it has exactly the right specs. </p><h2 id="value-verdict">Value verdict</h2><p>Compared to the Nvidia DGX Spark, which boasts the same specs as Dell's mini PC, you're making a significant saving of $1,047. I'd ignore the inflated prices from third-party sellers - for me, the decision is really, choosing whether to buy what amounts to the same machine from Dell or get the original from Nvidia. </p><p>I'd recommend the 1TB or 2TB configurations and offload additional files to an external drive. The 4TB model adds an outlandish $2,830 to the price tag over the base model. </p><h2 id="should-you-buy-it-4">Should you buy it?</h2><p>✅ <strong>Buy the Dell Pro Precision with GB10 if... </strong></p><p>You plan to run large AI models locally - it's where this Grace Blackwell chip excels. </p><p>❌ <strong>Skip the Dell Pro Precision with GB10 if... </strong></p><p>You want a general high-performance machine for non-AI tasks, or you'd prefer the official Nvidia SFF. </p><ul><li><a href="https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/desktop-computers/scr/desktop/appref=precision-product-line" target="_blank">See all Dell Pro Max desktops at Dell</a></li></ul> </article> ]]>
