Microsoft is preparing to sell a new Surface Laptop Ultra priced at $2,599, built around an Nvidia AI chip, the company has confirmed.
The device underscores Microsoft's continued commitment to designing and selling its own PCs, even as the company remains one of the smaller players by volume among major device makers.
The Surface Laptop Ultra is part of the broader wave of new machines built on Nvidia's latest chip platform, positioning Microsoft alongside other manufacturers introducing similarly equipped laptops around the same time.
Microsoft's hardware strategy
Microsoft has maintained its Surface line for years as a way to showcase Windows hardware and set a benchmark for other PC makers, even though its market share in laptops trails that of larger manufacturers. A flagship device built around a new high-performance chip reinforces that role.
Further specifications of the Surface Laptop Ultra, including its exact release date and full configuration options, were not detailed beyond the starting price.
