The event focuses on “Windows, NVIDIA RTX Spark, Surface and the broader PC ecosystem.”
Microsoft is hosting an event in San Francisco on October 7 on “how local AI will shape the next chapter of the PC.” Coming just months after NVIDIA announced its first system-on-a-chip for Windows, the NVIDIA RTX Spark, the event seems like the perfect opportunity to share more information about the Surface Laptop Ultra it will power.
To lend credence to the idea, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, and Microsoft Executive Vice President for Windows + Devices Pavan Davuluri will be present at the event. According to Microsoft, the trio is expected to share the “latest innovations across Windows, NVIDIA RTX Spark, Surface, and the broader PC ecosystem.”
Enabling AI agents to handle an increasing amount of normal computing tasks is a key part of Microsoft and NVIDIA’s shared vision for the future of computing. Microsoft has already publicly demonstrated new hardware that could be part of that future in the form of its Project Solara devices, but computers powerful enough to run AI models locally should also do the trick. The Surface Laptop Ultra, using NVIDIA’s RTX Spark platform, seems designed for exactly this type of workflow.
Microsoft announced the laptop in June 2026, without sharing availability details. Other laptop makers have also introduced their own RTX Spark devices, but we still have no idea how much these things will cost. Microsoft’s event could be the perfect venue to finalize all these plans.
