Microsoft launches Surface Laptop Ultra with Nvidia Arm chip

Microsoft just set a release date and price for the Surface Laptop Ultra, its new 15-inch machine powered by Nvidia’s Arm-based RTX Spark chip. Preorders start now at $2,599, with shipments beginning October 16. The device targets developers, creators, and others who need advanced AI capabilities, and ditches Microsoft’s old charging port for a magnetic USB-C charger. Pricing climbs to nearly $6,000 for higher-end options.

Why it mattersMicrosoft is betting on Arm-based chips and local AI workloads as the next step in Windows hardware. This laptop marks Nvidia’s entry into Windows PC chips—aimed at those who want AI power without running everything in the cloud.
