Microsoft and NVIDIA to unveil AI-focused Windows and Surface plans in San Francisco

Microsoft will host a Windows and Surface event in San Francisco on October 7, focused on how local AI will shape the next chapter of the PC, with CEO Satya Nadella and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang among the speakers. The event will cover "Windows, NVIDIA RTX Spark, Surface, and the broader PC ecosystem," according to Microsoft. It follows NVIDIA's recent announcement of its first system-on-a-chip for Windows, the RTX Spark, which is expected to power the Surface Laptop Ultra, a device Microsoft announced in June 2026 without availability details. Microsoft and NVIDIA share a vision of AI agents handling more routine computer tasks, with local AI models requiring powerful hardware. Other manufacturers have also introduced RTX Spark devices, but pricing remains unknown, and the event may provide those details.
