In the coming weeks and months, a number of PC and laptop manufacturers will be launching new hardware sporting the latest silicon from NVIDIA. We\u2019re not just talking about GPUs, but CPUs too, with the company debuting its RTX Spark \u201csuperchip\u201d at Computex 2026.<\/p>\n

One of the company\u2019s that is working closely with NVIDIA in this regard is Microsoft, which has teased the impending launch of the Surface Laptop Ultra.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe work from creators, developers and AI builders has a common shape: massive scenes, long compile cycles, local models and datasets that no longer sit politely in the background. We built Surface Laptop Ultra to meet that work without flinching,\u201d Microsoft noted in a blog post.<\/p>\n

\u201cSurface Laptop Ultra is our first laptop to combine a powerful NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with up to 128GB of unified memory and full CUDA support. Unified memory allows the pool of RAM to be dynamically allocated wherever your workloads need it most across CPU and GPU, so AI creation, 3D rendering and multi-model workflows run simultaneously, with 1 petaflop of AI compute, capable of running up to 120B parameter models locally,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

While Microsoft has not directly said so, it is clear that the Surface Laptop Ultra is designed to be a Windows 11-powered competitor to Apple\u2019s MacBook Pro offerings, which boast the Cupertino-based company\u2019s in-house silicon. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe designed Surface Laptop Ultra from the inside out. Mechanical, electrical, thermal, acoustic, materials, industrial design and software engineers at the table from day one. The internal architecture and the external form built as one system. Our engineers designed it with the same discipline we know you bring to your craft, where every micron matters and every choice is deliberate,\u201d it explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe haptic touchpad is the largest we\u2019ve ever put on a Surface. Every port you actually use is on the device: HDMI, USB-C, USB-A, SD card, headphone. These are the…<\/p>\n
