Microsoft has announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, featuring an NVIDIA RTX Spark Superchip capable of 1 petaflop of local artificial intelligence performance. The notebook pairs a 15 inch Mini LED screen with a magnetic USB C charging port designed for developers running complex models on device. Preorders are open now starting at $2599, alongside a companion desktop Dev Box priced at $5999.
Microsoft built the internal system around the NVIDIA RTX Spark platform. The processor combines an NVIDIA Grace CPU offering up to 20 cores, an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with up to 6144 cores, and up to 128GB of unified memory. This hardware allows developers to run artificial intelligence models exceeding 120B parameters directly on the machine without internet connectivity. Thermal capacity increases by 2.5 times over previous Surface notebooks, enabling the machine to sustain 99% of its maximum power output while running on battery.
