Introducing Surface Laptop Ultra: Made for world makers

Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, a device built in partnership with NVIDIA and designed for creators, developers, and AI builders. The laptop features an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU, up to 128GB of unified memory, and 1 petaflop of AI compute, enabling it to run up to 120-billion-parameter models locally. The Surface Laptop Ultra, which includes a 15-inch mini-LED display and all-day battery life, will be available later this year.

The world is full of makers. Only a few make the world.

Surface Laptop Ultra is for them.

For those building the systems, the breakthroughs and the infrastructure the world runs on and gets changed by. The ones who see limits as flaws and have the vision to push past them. Surface Laptop Ultra is the most powerful Surface Laptop ever built. Engineered with NVIDIA from the silicon up, optimized for RTX Spark, built on Windows. Made for a kind of work that does not fit in a standard laptop.

The work from creators, developers and AI builders has a common shape: massive scenes, long compile cycles, local models and datasets that no longer sit politely in the background. We built Surface Laptop Ultra to meet that work without flinching.

From the start, we channeled these makers, pushing through thermal and structural challenges, refining every detail from the inside out to create a device where uncompromising craft meets raw power. Surface Laptop Ultra is our first laptop to combine a powerful NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with up to 128GB of unified memory and full CUDA support. Unified memory allows the pool of RAM to be dynamically allocated wherever your workloads need it most across CPU and GPU, so AI creation, 3D rendering and multi-model workflows run simultaneously, with 1 petaflop of AI compute, capable of running up to 120B parameter models locally[i]. No walls. No compromises.

And it does all of it quietly.

The ultra-efficient CPU architecture gives creators the headroom to push further. And with all-day battery life[ii], Laptop Ultra keeps moving when the work does. The kind of endurance that lets you finish the work. No matter how ambitious. No matter how demanding.

Every detail was considered.

We designed Surface Laptop Ultra from the inside out. Mechanical, electrical, thermal, acoustic, materials, industrial design and software engineers at the table from day one. The internal architecture and the external form built as one system. Our engineers designed it with the same discipline we know you bring to your craft, where every micron matters and every choice is deliberate.

Precise and light. Available in two finishes: Platinum and Nightfall.

The 15-inch mini-LED PixelSense Ultra touchscreen runs up to 2,000 nits of peak HDR brightness, 262 pixels per inch and high-precision color accuracy. The brightest display we’ve ever shipped.

The haptic touchpad is the largest we’ve ever put on a Surface. Every port you actually use is on the device: HDMI, USB-C, USB-A, SD card, headphone. These are the ports creators need, and they were picked on purpose. This is Surface craft at its most considered. Performance, durability and repairability living together rather than trading against each other.

Nothing wasted. Everything intentional.

Surface Laptop Ultra was purpose-built for world makers, in a partnership between Windows, Surface and NVIDIA that approached every challenge with the same intention and the same standard.

A machine like this should not sit still. It should be pushed. Taken to the edge. Used to make real what others call impossible.

It belongs in the hands of world makers.

Surface Laptop Ultra will be available later this year[[iii]](#_edn3). Learn more at [microsoft.com/ultra](http://www.microsoft.com/ultra).
