Tom’s Hardware reviewed Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Ultra, a premium Windows laptop built around Nvidia’s RTX Spark mobile processor. Reviewer Andrew E. Freedman praised its metal design, bright mini LED screen, ports and repair labels, but noted that the machine is heavy, noisy and has weaker-than-desired battery life.
The review says RTX Spark is powerful for running AI models, but Windows does not make much use of that capability. For people who do not run AI models, the reviewer found little novel to justify the laptop’s extremely high price; the source gives no price or detailed test results.
Why it matters
Windows users who do not run AI models may be paying for hardware they cannot make much use of, though the source does not give a price or quantify performance.
