Introducing Surface Laptop Ultra: Made for world makers

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]. Learn more at microsoft.com/ultra. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1Oj792qc80 [i] Source: NVIDIA.

Introducing new Surface devices built for business and AI acceleration

Every IT leader and partner we work with is navigating the same challenges: AI is changing the demands of how teams work, security threats are growing more sophisticated and agents are changing investment decisions for the future. All under greater scrutiny than ever before. The decisions organizations make now about their PC fleet will determine whether they lead through this transformation or spend years trying to catch up. Microsoft builds Surface to meet these demands. From silicon to software, Surface hardware brings security, hybrid AI capability and intentional design into one integrated platform, so customers do not have to compromise to meet their business outcomes. For customers and partners charting a path forward, Surface is the foundation that makes the rest of the strategy possible:

The new Surface Pro for Business 13-inch is thin, powerful and engineered to think as flexibly as your people do, available starting today in select markets, starting at $1,949.99 (MSRP). The 2-in-1 form-factor combines touch, voice, pen or keyboard input alongside on-device AI processing and laptop-level performance to meet the needs of users working on the go or at their desks with 5G options to keep them connected.[6] Our team, relentless in building Surface PCs that meet the needs of businesses today and in the future, is driven by these three product-making principles.
  • Security and trust are fundamental and should be built into every aspect of a device.
  • Innovative devices are the platform that enables organizations to move faster with hybrid AI to accelerate workflows, productivity and end-to-end management.
  • Intentional, functional and human centered design is imperative for hardware that supports how businesses work, with PCs that are built with a focus on reliability, sustainability and repairability features designed to keep employees productive and in their flow.
At Surface, security is a design principle baked in from the very first line of firmware code. Every new Surface for Business device ships as a Secured-core PC: enabling chip-to-cloud protection that is current, enforced[7] and aligned with your Microsoft security stack. Firmware updates are delivered through Windows Update without third-party complexity.

Left facing view of a laptop computer with privacy screen enabled.For the first time ever on a Surface device, we are introducing an optional integrated privacy screen with anti-glare. Built directly into select configurations of the 13.8-inch display of our Surface Laptop for Business, this software driven visual privacy filter helps protect sensitive information from unintended viewers and can be centrally managed by IT or activated instantly by employees with a single keystroke. Once activated, the privacy screen provides immediate protection from prying eyes without the need of a third-party physical screen protector. Designed from the ground up as part of our security‑by‑design approach, this innovation is made possible only by the tight integration of Surface hardware and software.

Surface is the first PC built on memory-safe firmware through our open-source Project Mu and Open Device Partnership (ODP) Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), Rust-based drivers and secure embedded controller that is rooted in hardware-based protection, a direct response to one of the industry’s most persistent classes of vulnerabilities. When we say security is built in, we mean it at every layer of the stack. Surface for Business devices are built for the future of AI. Whether you are running models in the cloud or on device, Surface devices are built to take advantage of both. That means features like real-time meeting transcription, intelligent writing assistance, select on-device image generation and live translation that work whether your employee is in a server room, on a plane or in a hospital ward.[8] For customers putting AI to work in real-world environments, that flexibility is already proving essential:

Surface allows us to run AI where learning happens, on the device itself. The future of AI is not everything going to the cloud; it's AI at the edge." — Eric Sedore, AVP and Chief Technology Officer, Syracuse University

For organizations building and deploying enterprise AI applications, Surface is also the reference platform for Windows AI APIs and the Foundry platform. Surface is purpose-built for developers who need a trusted, consistent hardware baseline, helping to enable on-device AI processing that can help offload everyday workloads from the cloud and optimize overall AI infrastructure costs at scale. Surface for Business does not just transform the experience for employees, it transforms the experience for IT. From UEFI to browser, it can be managed through Microsoft Intune. Every device in this portfolio is built to support the end-to-end Microsoft stack: Microsoft Intune, Windows Autopilot and the Surface Management Portal give IT administrators a single, unified plane to provision devices at scale, enforce policies and manage the full device lifecycle including zero-touch deployment that gets people productive from day one.[7] When the hardware, the operating system, the management platform and the productivity suite are all built and optimized by Microsoft, the result is not just operational efficiency, it’s a level of assurance and confidence that benefits the end-customers and businesses. A person engaging the kickstand on a Surface device.Surface designs PCs for how businesses work. The materials we choose in every Surface for Business device are not for appearance alone; we build PCs with durability in mind. Each is validated through years-worth of reliability testing[9] designed to simulate the real conditions of everyday professional use: the drops, the pressure, the temperature changes, the open-and-close cycles. The result is a device that stays strong, stays functional and stays looking great. The Surface 3:2 display ratio is not an aesthetic choice, it is a productivity one. The vertical screen real estate from the display ratio means you can have two documents side by side without compromise, with multiple windows that give each app room to ensure productivity. Combined with anti-reflective display technology on select configurations. Surface displays are designed to reduce eye strain across long working days[10], because the best display is one that fades into the background, letting you focus on your work. A person's hand reaching out to a laptop keyboard.With advanced haptics, Surface Laptop for Business adds subtle, intelligent tactile feedback to the touchpad experience. From window snapping and resizing to dragging, dropping and navigating content, haptics reinforce intent across the operating system and through select third-party apps delivering a more precise, responsive and confidence inspiring experience. Surface for Business devices are built with sustainability in mind. Surface Laptop, 13.8-inch and 15-inch, and Surface Pro 13-inch are made with a durable 100% recycled aluminum enclosure, reducing reliance on virgin materials[11]. These devices are built for high performance and energy efficiency. Each device is certified by ENERGY STAR, all outperforming the efficiency baseline by at least 45%[12]. Automatic Keyboard Backlight, a new setting enabled on Surface Laptop 13-inch, 13.8 and 15-inch, and Surface Pro 13-inch Keyboards, can help reduce power usage[13]. Surface for Business PCs are also designed for repairability, meaning less glue, and more access. Nearly every major device component across the Surface for Business portfolio is replaceable, backed by a robust parts supply chain so IT teams can source what they need quickly and keep devices in service longer. Repairs are designed for simplicity, clear visual wayfinding guides technicians through each step, and the process is engineered to be completed with commonly available tools. When repair is used instead of replacement a device can stay in the field longer, which helps maximize your investment and helps reduce waste. [14] The AI PC cycle has already arrived. Organizations that move now will build the productivity advantage that compounds over time. Those that wait will find themselves closing a gap that only grows. Our team is continuing to innovate with devices designed for businesses to invest in an evolving future of computing.

Raising the bar together. Introducing the Driver Quality Initiative at WinHEC 2026

There are moments in this industry when you can feel the ecosystem lean in. This week in Taipei was one of them. For two days at WinHEC 2026 (Windows Hardware Engineering Conference) — Microsoft’s first WinHEC since 2018 — we had the privilege of spending time alongside our OEM, silicon, IHV and ODM partners, and the engineers who build Windows, to talk honestly about where we are, opportunities to be better connected as an ecosystem and where we're going together. As we shared in March, a fundamental component to raising the bar on quality across areas such as system stability, driver quality and app reliability requires coordinated execution across the entire ecosystem. At WinHEC 2026, we shared how we’re addressing this at the driver level with our partners by introducing the Driver Quality Initiative (DQI), a comprehensive, ecosystem-wide effort designed to fundamentally raise the bar on driver quality, reliability and security across Windows.

“Great platforms aren’t built in isolation. Platform quality depends on early, honest collaboration across OEMs, ODMs, silicon partners and IHVs. WinHEC brings engineers together with Microsoft to align early, solve real problems and deliver higher‑quality solutions for our shared customers” — Syam Poluri, Distinguished Engineer, Dell Technologies

Raising the bar on quality takes all of us.

Drivers sit at the heart of every Windows experience. They connect the OS to the silicon, components and peripherals that make Windows one of the most versatile platforms in the industry. Today, thousands of partners contribute to tens of thousands of active driver families across the Windows install base. When drivers are high quality, customers experience reliable, secure, performant devices. When drivers fail, customers experience it as a device problem, regardless of where the root cause sits. Chart showing four pillars of the Driver Quality Initiative.DQI builds on the learnings and infrastructure established through the Windows Resiliency Initiative (WRI) and is organized around four pillars:
  • Architecture: We are heavily investing in hardening kernel mode drivers and enabling the third-party kernel mode driver transition to either user mode driver or Microsoft authored class drivers. This is to ensure higher driver security, reliability and resiliency. User-mode driver investments include performance updates to PCIe devices with DMA support as well as Wi-fi stack (coming soon). Class driver investments include Soundwire Device Class for Audio (SDCA), introduction of the I3C class driver, NCM USB ethernet class driver as well as continuous enhancements to existing first-party class drivers on Windows 11.
  • Trust: We are raising the bar for trusted partners and trusted drivers, including stronger partner verification, expanded automated analysis and updated Windows Hardware Compatibility Program requirements.
  • Lifecycle: We are improving driver lifecycle management through better Windows Update catalog hygiene, including deprecating outdated or low-quality drivers, advancing SBOM alignment and enabling faster issue analysis through driver symbols.
  • Quality Measures: We are expanding how driver quality is measured beyond crashes to include stability, functionality, performance, and power and thermal impact, giving partners clearer signals to improve the real customer experience.
DQI is a partnership. Microsoft is building the frameworks, tools and quality signals, and we are working with partners to raise driver quality across the ecosystem so customers can rely on their Windows devices from day one through the full life of the PC.

“Delivering high-quality drivers and resilient platforms isn’t owned by any one company—it’s a shared commitment. Through our close collaboration with Microsoft, AMD is focused on building a culture of joint accountability to ensure security, stability and predictable performance for our customers at scale.” — David Harmon, Director, Software Engineering, AMD

What we did at WinHEC

Day 1 opened with a keynote presentation featuring our Windows leadership team, organized around three themes: navigating the evolving landscape, raising the bar on Windows 11 quality and the future vision for Windows. The keynote set the tone for the days ahead. We were candid about where we are, clear about where we're going and explicit about the partnership required to get there. From there, attendees broke out into workshops, with sessions spanning five tracks:
  • End-to-end driver quality — covering the full lifecycle from authoring and validation through publishing, and post-release health
  • Platform fundamentals — power, thermal and storage fundamentals that define everyday device experience
  • Exceptional device experiences — delivering best-in-class quality across media and display, camera, audio, connectivity and peripherals
  • Windows Server — platform direction, reliability and the evolving requirements for modern datacenter and edge deployments
  • Ecosystem advancement — end-to-end security, co-engineering tools, manufacturing and AI hardware innovation.
Day 2 shifted from discussion to application. Hands-on labs gave engineers the opportunity to put guidance into practice, from authoring and hardening drivers, executing hardware compatibility tests, and exploring AI-assisted crash analysis. Microsoft engineers worked side by side with partner teams, helping them move from understanding the guidance to applying it directly within their own engineering workflows. Beyond the structured sessions, attendees explored demo booths showcasing the latest tools, diagnostics and technologies coming to the Windows platform. The dedicated Microsoft Experience Room brought hardware and the operating system together to demonstrate how end-to-end experiences come to life across various Windows customers, such as students, developers, creators, information workers and gamers, making the connection between platform engineering decisions and real customer outcomes tangible. Each day concluded at the Connection Corner, an open forum where partners could engage directly with the Microsoft engineers building these tools. It was, for many attendees, the most valuable part of the event: unfiltered access to the people doing the work, with the time and space to dig into the questions that matter most.

“At Acer, we believe that continuous innovation and collaboration are the engines that drive the technology industry forward. On display at WinHEC, Windows stands out as an innovative platform that brings together partners across a broad range of expertise. The Microsoft conference is where innovation, technology and domain experts come together to unlock the true value of platform engineering.”  — Mark Yang, Associate Vice President of Compute Software Technology, Acer Inc.

"The customers ASUS serves — gamers, creators, students and professionals — each demand a different kind of Windows device. WinHEC is where ASUS and Microsoft engineers go deep on the platform fundamentals that make those very different devices share the same quality bar, generation after generation." — Justin Yo, Software Associate VP, ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

What we heard from partners

A few themes came through clearly in our conversations across the two days:
  • Quality is a shared priority. Across silicon, OEM and IHV partners, the message was consistent — driver and platform quality is central to the customer experience, and the ecosystem is ready to invest.
  • Innovation thrives on a strong foundation. When the fundamentals are solid, partners can invest more confidently in differentiated experiences, AI-powered capabilities and next-generation hardware, knowing the platform will support them. The energy around what becomes possible when quality is a given, not a variable, was one of the most exciting themes of the week.
  • There is real appetite for this kind of engagement. Partners told us repeatedly that the combination of roadmap clarity and hands-on technical depth is exactly what the ecosystem needs at this moment and going forward.
  • Transparency matters. Partners welcomed the open methodology behind driver quality metrics, the phased rollout of lifecycle states and the commitment to incentive-based distribution as the right model for moving forward together.

"The best customer experiences are built on the foundation of strong partner collaboration. WinHEC is where that work happens — engineers from HP and Microsoft aligning early, solving real problems and ensuring that what we ship together actually works for the people who depend on it every day. That kind of direct, honest partnership across the ecosystem raises the bar for everyone." — Deepak Patil, Senior Vice President, Personal Systems Engineering, HP Inc.

Looking ahead

WinHEC 2026 was an important step, but it's the start of the work, not the end. In the months ahead, we will keep investing in the fundamentals that matter most to customers: reliability, security, performance, compatibility and quality. We’ll also keep collaborating with OEMs, silicon partners, IHVs, ODMs and the broader hardware ecosystem through the Windows Resiliency Initiative, the new Driver Quality Initiative and the work we do together every day. To everyone who joined us in Taipei this week, from our CPU, GPU and silicon partners; display, camera, audio and networking teams; IBVs, ODMs and OEMs; to the peripheral and component engineers who make the breadth of Windows possible — thank you. The depth of engagement, the willingness to work together in the room, and the shared commitment to quality made this week what it was. The work we do together over the coming year will define the Windows experience for more than a billion users. We couldn't be more energized about what we're going to build. — Robin and Ian
