Bring the heavy work.
Equip the people doing your most demanding work. Plan Surface Laptop Ultra around their applications, with configuration, deployment and local support from Braintree.
START WITH THE WORK
Built around your power users.
Some roles ask more of a laptop. Start with the projects, applications and files your team works with every day.
Creative teams.
Evaluate your real timelines, renders and layered files. Match the configuration to project size, plug-ins and the display setup.
Engineering teams.
Bring the build tools, design software and dependencies your team uses. Check platform support before choosing the fleet.
Data and AI teams.
Size memory around the models, data and supported runtimes you intend to use. Make the evaluation specific to the workload.
Room for demanding work.
A unified memory pool serves both the CPU and GPU. Choose the capacity around your applications and the work they need to hold in memory.
See the architecture.
Microsoft’s animation takes you from the NVIDIA chip to the hardware inside Surface Laptop Ultra.
Inside the cooling system.
A closer look at the fan assembly and thermal design built around the device’s internal components.
Up to 128GB.
LPDDR5x system memory, shared by CPU and GPU.
Memory options
24, 32, 48, 64 or 128 GB, depending on configuration. GPU-addressable memory is below the system total.
Storage options
512 GB Gen 4 SSD, or 1 TB and 2 TB Gen 5 SSD. Confirm locally available combinations.
NVIDIA RTX Spark.
Two N1X processor and graphics options.
18-core CPU
Paired with a 5,120-core Blackwell RTX GPU.
20-core CPU
Paired with a 6,144-core Blackwell RTX GPU.
A CLOSER LOOK
The details you work with.
From the display to the connections, see the parts of the device your team will use every day.
15-inch PixelSense Ultra.
A 3:2 mini-LED touchscreen, 3270 × 2180 resolution and a dynamic refresh rate up to 120 Hz.
Bring your setup.
Three USB-C / USB4 ports, HDMI 2.1b, USB-A and a full-size SD card reader. Check your displays and accessories in the app-fit assessment.
Control, down to the touch.
A backlit keyboard and precision haptic touchpad with Adaptive touch mode.
Check the work before the rollout.
A specification is only useful when it fits the software. Bring your applications, versions, plug-ins and peripherals into the Windows on Arm assessment before committing to a fleet.
Studio Driver support.
NVIDIA lists Studio and Game Ready Drivers for RTX Spark N1X laptops. Studio Drivers are tested for creative applications. Confirm the correct Surface package and app versions.
Drivers and peripherals.
Check printers, specialist hardware, docks, VPN and security tools for compatible Arm64 drivers.
Native CUDA. Local AI.
Compatible tools can use RTX acceleration for 3D work, video and AI development. Check the Windows on Arm support of each framework and runtime.
Applications and plug-ins.
Arm-native applications offer the best performance. Many other apps use Prism emulation. Validate exact versions, plug-ins and representative projects before committing to a fleet.
Start with your app list.
Include the software version, essential plug-ins and connected devices. Braintree will scope the assessment with you; the enquiry form includes space for these details.
Configured for your work.
Memory, storage, app fit and local delivery belong in one plan. Braintree connects the device discussion to deployment and support requirements.
The hardware in detail.
A 15-inch PixelSense Ultra mini-LED display, native CUDA and a choice of RTX Spark N1X configurations. Match the hardware to your team’s files, software and working environment.

Specifications checked against Microsoft and NVIDIA on 13 October 2026. South African configurations, pricing and delivery require local confirmation.
Plan for your Microsoft environment.
Bring Microsoft 365, Copilot, endpoint management and security into the device decision. Check your licences, policies and software requirements against the exact configuration.
Microsoft 365 and Copilot.
Review the apps and features your users need, including subscriptions and organisational settings. Device purchase does not include every Copilot experience.
Intune and deployment.
Validate enrolment, application delivery, compliance policies and the deployment approach for the selected device.
Security and identity.
Windows 11 Pro, Secured-core PC, TPM 2.0, BitLocker support and Windows Hello facial sign-in provide the business foundation. Review them against your organisation’s policies.
One partner, from quote to rollout.
Build the service scope around the users receiving the devices. Put each requirement and commercial term into the proposal.
Configuration.
Agree memory, storage, accessories and the applications each role requires.
Imaging and deployment.
Scope application preparation, device enrolment and the handover approach around the supported platform.
Local support.
Define support channels, service coverage and escalation responsibilities for the supplied configuration.
Discuss monthly options.
Include Hardware-as-a-Service in the commercial discussion. Any monthly proposal is subject to an approved model and agreed terms.
A clear path to deployment.
01
Assess the workload.
Record your applications, user groups, current constraints and app-fit requirements.
02
Agree the evaluation.
Define pilot criteria. Device access, timing and any pilot terms must be confirmed.
03
Confirm the fleet quote.
Review the exact configuration, service scope and confirmed South African delivery details.
04
Deploy and support.
Agree the rollout schedule and support responsibilities before the handover.
Practical questions.
▸
Will our existing applications run?
▸
Can we evaluate pilot devices?

What will the fleet quote include?
Technical references.
Plan your rollout.
Tell us about the team, the workload and your timeframe. Braintree will use these details to discuss the next step.
Start with the requirements.
Include the applications and plug-ins your team relies on. The more specific the brief, the more useful the configuration and rollout discussion.
