Microsoft officially announced its new flagship portable computer, Surface Laptop Ultra, targeting high-level professionals and content creators.
15-inch computer powered by Nvidia's Arm-based new generation RTX Spark N1X processor platform; It directly targets Apple MacBook Pro models with its combined memory support of up to 128 GB, mini-LED screen and innovative magnetic charging mechanism. The starting price of the model, which is available for pre-order, is set at $ 2,599.
Nvidia RTX Spark Architecture: 128 GB Unified Memory and Grace CPU
The Nvidia RTX Spark N1X platform, which is at the heart of Surface Laptop Ultra, eliminates the distinction between traditional x86 processor and external graphics card. In the top model, a 20-core Nvidia Grace CPU and a 6,144-core Blackwell architecture RTX GPU work together.
The system uses LPDDR5X unified memory architecture up to 128 GB, where both the processor and the graphics unit can directly access the same memory pool, as on the Apple Silicon side.
Approximately 110 GB of the 128 GB model can be displayed as memory assignable to the graphics unit on the Windows Task Manager.
The entry level of the series includes an 18-core processor, 5,120 GPU cores and a configuration that supports up to 64 GB.
The power consumption (TDP) of the device can be configured between 45W and 80W. Microsoft states that the renewed cooling system offers 2.5 times higher thermal capacity compared to Surface Laptop 7 and that the device maintains 99 percent of its performance when unplugged.
2,000 Nit Mini-LED Display and Magnetic USB-C Solution
Surface Laptop Ultra remains portable with a chassis that is less than 18 mm thick and weighs approximately 2 kg (4.5 lb). The 15-inch PixelSense Ultra mini-LED touch screen reaches a 3:2 aspect ratio, 262 PPI pixel density and 2,000 nits peak HDR brightness.
The sensitive touch surface (trackpad) of the device with tactile feedback support is designed to be 30 percent wider than previous Surface models.
Offering a rich infrastructure in terms of ports, the model includes USB-C, USB-A, full-size HDMI, 3.5 mm headphone jack and full-size SD card reader. On the charging side, instead of proprietary special charging sockets, USB-C charging architecture with integrated magnetic mechanism that allows standard cables to be safely separated when pulled out is preferred.
Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra Price and Configurations
The starting model of the Surface Laptop Ultra, which is available in Platinum and Nightfall color options, is available for pre-order at $ 2,599 with an 18-core RTX Spark processor, 24 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD storage. The top-level configuration, which includes a 20-core processor, 128 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD, is listed with a tag of $ 5,899.99.

At the Windows and Surface event held in San Francisco, Microsoft announced autonomous artificial intelligence features, hybrid processing power model and redesigned fast search experience in Windows 11. Copilot has evolved into an autonomous AI tool that can operate directly on local files and produce mini-applications with user approval. Quick access to system controls can be achieved with the Spotlight-like extended search from the taskbar. In cooperation with NVIDIA, it was emphasized that local NPU and GPU units carry hybrid artificial intelligence loads.
