00:02Microsoft will unveil a new laptop powered by NVIDIA chips Wednesday as it seeks to run
00:07AI agents directly on Windows PCs rather than relying on cloud data centers, according to
00:11Reuters.
00:12The Surface Laptop Ultra will use NVIDIA's RTX Spark chips to handle tasks such as writing
00:17code and complex business projects locally.
00:19Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang are expected to introduce the
00:26device at an event in San Francisco.
00:27Microsoft is betting it can shift some AI work from costly Azure data centers to powerful
00:33Windows PCs, a market Apple is also pursuing with new Macs.
00:37Analysts say the companies must show that AI agents can operate safely on personal computers.
00:41Rising memory costs are another challenge, with analysts warning that higher hardware prices
00:45could limit access to powerful local AI systems.
