Prices for the highly coveted Nvidia DGX Spark mini PC are wallet-squeezing right now. Direct from Nvidia, the Mac mini-sized supercomputer is $6,950, and elsewhere, prices are massively inflated by third-party resellers (there's one for almost 10Gs at Newegg, and another for $9K at Best Buy). But there is a cheaper way to get the same level of performance without the extra cost.

Currently, the Dell Pro Precision with GB10 is listed at $5,903 at Dell. 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.

• Best for: AI engineers running larger local AI models.

• Why we like it: 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.

Why we recommend it

Although we've had excellent experiences with Dell desktops in the past, price is the primary driver for highlighting this machine. You're saving over a thousand bucks compared to Nvidia's DGX Spark.

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.

Value verdict

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.

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.

Should you buy it?

✅ Buy the Dell Pro Precision with GB10 if...

You plan to run large AI models locally - it's where this Grace Blackwell chip excels.

❌ Skip the Dell Pro Precision with GB10 if...

You want a general high-performance machine for non-AI tasks, or you'd prefer the official Nvidia SFF.

Saily is one of the most interesting eSIM providers I know. Because it's from the team behind NordVPN, security and privacy are key features of the platform. So, on top of high-speed data and cheaper-than-roaming fees, the service includes a free ad blocker, web protection, and virtual location. That's a really important layer of security if you're using insecure public and hotel Wi-Fi, or want to stream content from home.

Right now, the security-focused eSIM Saily Ultra Standard yearly plan is down to $400 a year. That works out at $33.33 a month (saving 16% compared to a monthly subscription). In the UK, it's £308 a year, equivalent to £25.66 a month.

• Best for: Frequent travelers who want an extra layer of security when accessing public hotspots.

• Why we like it: Saily scored 4.5 stars in our review, where we found the service , competitively priced, praising the connectivity and the security features as the "travel hacks" travelers should know about

• What you need to know: This is an annual plan paid upfront, and covers 121 destinations.

Today's best eSIM deal

Why we recommend it

Saily is our top pick for security-conscious travelers in our guide to the best eSIMs for international travel. In our 4.5-star review, we found Nord's extra security tools "genuinely useful in regions with censorship or unreliable public Wi-Fi, and they come at no extra cost above the data plan."

For mobile professionals accessing sensitive information while working on the move, it's an absolute necessity. But I think considering how insecure public Wi-Fi is, anyone regularly flying to other countries will benefit from this.

Because the biggest savings come from the annual plan - although monthly and quarterly plans are available - it's an easy recommendation for regular flyers looking for a layer of security while using an eSIM.

Price context & historical value

Competitive pricing was already one of Saily's strongest suits compared to other eSIM providers. The annual plan makes it even more so. For comparison, a monthly plan costs $40, so you're saving just shy of $7. In the UK, the same plan is £31 a month, or £25.66 on an annual subscription.

Should you buy it?

✅ Buy the Saily Ultra Standard annual plan if...

You travel abroad a lot and want the extra security tools provided by Nord.

❌ Skip the Saily Ultra Standard annual plan if...

You only travel one or two times a year, where a monthly subscription offers better value.
