How to watch the Microsoft Windows and Surface event
The Surface Laptop Ultra is almost here.
What to Expect
The Microsoft Windows and Surface event will take place in San Francisco, beginning at 10AM PT (1PM ET), and there is a lot expected to be showcased. It is anticipated to be a heavily AI-focused presentation centered on how local artificial intelligence will shape the next chapter of personal computing. The proceedings will be broadcast live on official channels and are expected to run for about an hour.
Hardware and Speakers
The event marks the first laptop-centric showcase the company has held in two years. Featured speakers include Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and head of Windows and Devices Pavan Davuluri, alongside NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. Industry expectations point toward an update regarding the Surface Laptop Ultra, driven by NVIDIA's RTX Spark superchip.
The RTX Spark chip focuses heavily on AI performance, with NVIDIA claiming it delivers significant computing power. This aligns with Microsoft's shifting focus toward agentic AI systems that operate with minimal user input. Pricing and final availability details for the new hardware are expected to be unveiled during the presentation.
Windows Software Outlook
Regarding software, a brand-new operating system release appears unlikely, as the company previously stated a new OS would not launch in 2026. Instead, development efforts remain focused on continuous improvements, visual adjustments, and deep AI integration within Windows 11, which serves as the designated platform for the upcoming hardware.
The presentation will outline the company's hardware and software roadmap moving forward.
