'This computer is going to be incredible': Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang explains why the new Surface Laptop Ultra is "really a work of love"

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang expressed his admiration for Microsoft's Surface Laptop Ultra, describing it as "so beautiful" and "incredible." Speaking at a developer event in London, Huang highlighted the four-year development process that went into creating the device, calling it "a work of love." The Surface Laptop Ultra is the first Microsoft product powered by an Nvidia chip and is designed for developers and AI applications.

Huang explained that the laptop features a brand-new revolutionary chip, a new line of PCs, and supports up to 128GB unified memory, 24GB RAM, and 512GB storage. The next version will have 32GB RAM and 1TB storage. Huang also shared his vision of creating a personal computer that runs AI agents locally, capable of accessing files, reasoning about information, and using tools to complete tasks.

This would allow users to "text" their PC for help, rendering images, updating slides, and delivering results directly to them. Huang discussed the challenges of developing the device, mentioning the need to create a brand-new chip and redesign the GPU's memory usage to handle large AI models.
