Microsoft will unveil a new laptop powered by Nvidia chips at a San Francisco event on 7 October 2026. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will introduce the Surface Laptop Ultra. The machine is intended to let AI agents handle tasks such as writing code on the device itself rather than in the cloud. For Microsoft the move is a bet that some work now running in Azure can shift to high-powered Windows PCs that customers buy and maintain. For Nvidia it opens a path into the Windows PC market long dominated by Intel and AMD. The event is billed as an update on Windows and the Surface line and builds on Nvidia’s RTX Spark chips announced in June. Analysts say a key challenge will be proving that autonomous agents can be safely contained on personal computers. Pricing is expected to be the biggest question after a memory-chip shortage pushed up hardware costs; Nvidia recently raised the price of its related DGX Spark desktop by about 75 percent to $6,950.
