Microsoft and Nvidia to unveil Surface Laptop Ultra with AI chips in San Francisco

On Wednesday, Microsoft and Nvidia will unveil the Surface Laptop Ultra at a San Francisco event, featuring Nvidia's RTX Spark chips to run AI tasks locally. This move aims to reduce reliance on Microsoft's Azure cloud and compete with Apple. However, analysts worry about pricing after memory costs surged, with Nvidia's DGX Spark now costing $6,950. Security of AI agents on personal computers is also a concern.
