Surface Laptop Ultra is Microsoft’s most powerful PC it has ever delivered. It features a new silicon platform for the first time, a first-generation mini-LED screen and one of the best trackpads I’ve ever used.

For now, if you want to dabble in gaming, content creation, and AI workflows, it’s probably the best laptop you can buy that isn’t a MacBook Pro. More importantly, I expect this to be the start of a new era in Windows laptops that will become something truly special in the not-too-distant future.
