  "account": "Microsoft unveils new Surface Ultra laptop, powered by Nvidia's cutting-edge RTX Spark AI chip, priced above US$2,500. The launch is part of a broader push by tech companies to create hardware capable of handling more AI computing on-device and offline, reducing reliance on cloud data centers. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella emphasized the pervasiveness of hybrid intelligence in computing, with CEO Jensen Huang of Nvidia echoing this sentiment. The partnership aims to compete with Apple, Intel, and AMD in the personal computing market. The Surface Ultra will use Nvidia's RTX Spark AI chip, beginning shipping on October 16 at US$2,599. Some AI computing power and data will be processed locally, while other applications remain handled remotely through Microsoft's cloud computing services.",
