At a moment when the personal computer has long struggled to justify its own reinvention, Microsoft and NVIDIA arrived at Computex with a machine built around a different premise entirely — that the next era of computing will be defined not by speed alone, but by the ability to think locally. The Surface Laptop Ultra, powered by NVIDIA's RTX Spark chip, is less a product announcement than a philosophical wager: that intelligence, like electricity before it, belongs closer to the person who uses it.
