Microsoft has released the Surface Laptop Ultra. This high-end device is built for developers using Nvidia's new Arm-based RTX Spark chips. The laptop is priced at $5,900. Its design closely resembles the MacBook Pro. Microsoft partnered with Nvidia to create this machine as a showcase for the new processor technology. The RTX Spark chips allow Windows on Arm systems to run demanding AI models locally. They also handle the latest AAA games and creative applications. According to The Verge, the device offers a bright display. The promise of local AI capabilities is compelling. However, the reality of using local AI on these systems is messier than the marketing suggests. The Verge notes that getting the most out of the Surface Laptop Ultra requires specific effort from the user.
