Summary
Leaked Surface Laptop Ultra configurations include Nvidia’s RTX Spark in both 18-core and 20-core versions, with memory scaling from a 24GB entry model to 128GB on the top tier.
Windows Central says Microsoft will pitch the machine around local 120B-parameter AI models and sustained peak performance on battery—two areas central to high-end MacBook Pro competition.
The split also signals two target markets: 18-core models reportedly top out at 32GB and ship with Windows 11 Home, while higher-end 20-core versions get Windows 11 Pro.
A 2,000-nit HDR display and halo-product positioning suggest Microsoft is pushing Surface further into premium territory, though exact pricing remains undisclosed and may determine how directly it can challenge Apple.
