Laptop Math
A GPU-enabled workstation laptop is thousands of dollars up front — and it's the exact same machine two years from now, no faster and no more powerful. A cloud desktop changes power whenever you do.

Laptop pricing reflects a GPU-enabled workstation laptop. Your cloud desktop can be resized up or down at any time.
The Hardware Problem
GPUs and memory are scarcer and pricier than ever. Owning the hardware means paying tens of thousands up front for machines that sit idle between projects — locked to one spec you can't grow or shrink. We turn all of it into a monthly plan you can resize anytime.
A single NVIDIA H100 runs $25K–$40K, and an 8-GPU server tops $200K — before power, cooling, or spares.
Server DDR5 has jumped ~478% in a year to around $20/GB. A single 128GB stick can cost $4,650.
Buy a fixed GPU and memory config and you're stuck with it — no adding power for a big job, no scaling down when it sits idle.
You hand over the cash up front, then keep paying to run hardware that mostly sits idle between projects.
Data stays in the cloud, not on endpoints. SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR frameworks supported.
The Real Math
Side-by-side, the math is stark. Skip the big upfront cost and only pay for the power you actually use.

Private AI
Run powerful AI on hardware you control. Your files, your questions, and your work stay inside your own fleet — never sent to an outside AI company or used to train theirs.
Every document, question, and answer stays on machines you control. Nothing is shipped off to a third-party AI service or stored on someone else's servers.
Tap into a fleet of datacenter graphics cards — enough raw power to run the biggest, most capable AI available, not a watered-down version.
No per-question fees and no usage meters. Once it lives on your fleet, your whole team can use it all day for one predictable cost.
Powered by the same datacenter GPU fleet behind every Desktop Ark — scaled all the way up to the heaviest AI work.
Why Desktop Ark
GPU-accelerated desktops with low-latency streaming. Feels like sitting right at the machine, from anywhere in the world.
Add a GPU for a big job and drop it when you're done, or grow from 10 to 10,000 desktops as your crew does. Change your setup whenever your work changes — no lock-in.
Native apps for Windows, Ubuntu, and IGEL, a desktop client, or just a browser — your full desktop follows you to any device.
No hardware to buy and nothing to pay up front. Attach GPUs and memory on demand, then spin them down when the job's done — you're only billed while they run.
Simple as 1-2-3
Choose a desktop configuration that fits your crew. Start with a free trial — no credit card needed.
Send invites and assign desktops. Each crew member gets their own private workspace, ready in minutes.
Launch the app or open a browser and you're in. Your full desktop is ready — apps, files, and all — on any device.
