Run 120B AI models locally on Microsoft's new Surface
Surface Laptop Ultra is Microsoft's most powerful Surface yet, powered by NVIDIA's RTX Spark Superchip. With Blackwell RTX graphics, up to 128GB of unified memory, and support for running AI models up to 120B parameters locally, it's built for developers, creators, and AI enthusiasts who want serious computing power without relying on the cloud. All packed into a 15-inch touchscreen laptop weighing under 4.5 lbs.
Microsoft just announced Surface Laptop Ultra, and the specs are pretty wild.
It's powered by NVIDIA's new RTX Spark chip, with up to 128GB of unified memory and enough compute to run models up to 120B parameters locally.
Basically, Microsoft is putting serious AI workstation capabilities into a 15-inch laptop.
It starts at $2,599, which isn't cheap, but I'm particularly curious about how it performs for local LLMs and coding agents compared with a high-end MacBook Pro.
