Surface Laptop Ultra and Surface RTX Spark Dev Box: what's new from Microsoft for local AI
Microsoft unveiled two devices with NVIDIA RTX Spark chips built to run AI models and agents on the device. They are coming soon to Mexico.
Microsoft expanded the Microsoft Surface family with two devices designed so AI runs on the device, not just in the cloud: the Surface Laptop Ultra and the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box. Both use NVIDIA RTX Spark technology and are already on presale in the United States.
