Microsoft pushes AI vision with new, expensive Surface laptop
San Francisco, Oct 07, 2026 –
Microsoft is pushing a “hybrid intelligence” future with a new Surface Ultra laptop that runs on Nvidia artificial intelligence (AI) chips and will cost more than $2,500, the company announced Wednesday.
The launch is part of a broader push by tech companies to release hardware that can handle more AI computing on-device and offline, so users don’t have to rely solely on remote cloud data centers, where running AI is slower and more expensive.
