Microsoft is holding a Windows and Surface event in San Francisco on Wednesday, October 7. The keynote starts at 10AM PT / 1PM ET and is expected to last about an hour. It will stream live on YouTube.
The event will include a conversation about how local AI could shape the next chapter of the PC, featuring Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and Windows and Surface chief Pavan Davuluri. The Verge’s Tom Warren expects discussion of Nvidia’s RTX Spark platform and Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Ultra, which uses Nvidia’s new Arm-based chips.
Microsoft unveiled the Surface Laptop Ultra earlier this year, but pricing, release dates, and full specifications remain unknown. Rumors cited in the report point to configurations with 18-core and 20-core CPUs and up to 128GB of RAM. Other PC makers are also preparing laptops powered by RTX Spark, though the report does not name them.
The event may also cover Microsoft’s plans for AI agents running locally on Windows and ongoing Windows 11 improvements. Those efforts include performance work for devices with 8GB of RAM, as well as new Windows features for developers and creative professionals. These are expectations ahead of the event, not confirmed announcements.
