Are they really rumors if Microsoft has already debuted the Surface Laptop Ultra? Alas, we\u2019re going to recap everything we know \u2014 and don\u2019t know \u2014 about the company\u2019s upcoming AI workhorse of a computer.<\/p>\n

At Computex this spring, Microsoft first introduced us to the Surface Laptop Ultra, touting its Nvidia RTX Spark chip and new system-on-a-chip designed for Windows. What does all that mean? As CNET\u2019s laptop expert Lori Grunin put it<\/a>, the hardware should \u201clight a fire for Windows on Arm.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is not your everyday work laptop. It\u2019s likely to be a high-end, premium offering meant for the devoted developer, engineer or creator who needs a machine with the necessary firepower for their complex or compute-intensive tasks. In other words, it\u2019s going to be great for running AI.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This could be Microsoft\u2019s competitor to Apple\u2019s MacBook Pro line. Nvidia\u2019s RTX Spark chip and platform are poised to give the Surface Laptop Ultra the boost it needs to compete in this premium market.<\/p>\n

The biggest unknowns right now are the price and release date, which we\u2019re hoping to learn today. And even more hopefully, it won\u2019t cost an extraordinary chunk of change. But for a premium laptop, in this era of price hikes and RAMaggedon, it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You can see the rectangular 3D-printed RTX Spark Dev Box underneath the monitor, behind the keyboard.
