Surface Laptop Ultra Becomes RTX Spark’s Flagship for AI-Powered Laptops

At Computex 2026, Nvidia unveils its RTX Spark platform built around the N1X mega‑SoC (a 20‑core CPU with a GeForce RTX 5070‑class GPU and an on‑device NPU) aimed at running large AI models locally, with Microsoft positioning the Surface Laptop Ultra as its flagship RTX Spark machine. The device features a 15‑inch mini‑LED PixelSense Ultra display (up to 2000 nits, 120Hz VRR), a dual‑fan cooling system, and a swappable SSD, with RAM likely soldered and a replaceable battery. Availability is said to be this fall, with pricing undisclosed. Press demos emphasized AI horsepower and cooling, but the laptops weren’t powered on for review yet, so real‑world performance remains to be seen.
