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
Some roles ask more of a laptop. Start with the projects, applications and files your team works with every day.
Evaluate your real timelines, renders and layered files. Match the configuration to project size, plug-ins and the display setup.
Bring the build tools, design software and dependencies your team uses. Check platform support before choosing the fleet.
Size memory around the models, data and supported runtimes you intend to use. Make the evaluation specific to the workload.
SHARED MEMORY. NVIDIA COMPUTE.
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.
Microsoft’s animation takes you from the NVIDIA chip to the hardware inside Surface Laptop Ultra.

UNIFIED MEMORY
LPDDR5x system memory, shared by CPU and GPU.
GRACE CPU. BLACKWELL RTX GPU.
Two N1X processor and graphics options.
A CLOSER LOOK
From the display to the connections, see the parts of the device your team will use every day.
A 3:2 mini-LED touchscreen, 3270 × 2180 resolution and a dynamic refresh rate up to 120 Hz.
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.
A backlit keyboard and precision haptic touchpad with Adaptive touch mode.
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.
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. NVIDIA Studio.
Check printers, specialist hardware, docks, VPN and security tools for compatible Arm64 drivers.
Compatible tools can use RTX acceleration for 3D work, video and AI development. Check the Windows on Arm support of each framework and runtime. NVIDIA platform details.
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.
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.
Memory, storage, app fit and local delivery belong in one plan. Braintree connects the device discussion to deployment and support requirements.
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.
Two RTX Spark N1X options. An 18-core CPU with a 5,120-core Blackwell RTX GPU, or a 20-core CPU with a 6,144-core GPU.
Unified memory. 24, 32, 48, 64 or 128 GB LPDDR5x. CPU and GPU share the total; GPU-addressable capacity is lower and depends on the configuration and workload.
Removable SSD. 512 GB Gen 4, or 1 TB and 2 TB Gen 5 options. System software uses part of the capacity. Local combinations require confirmation; servicing must follow Microsoft guidance.
Driver choice. NVIDIA lists Studio Drivers and Game Ready Drivers for the RTX Spark N1X laptop platform. Studio Drivers are tested for creative applications. The correct Surface driver package and supported app versions should be checked for your setup.
Native CUDA. Compatible software can use the GPU for creative acceleration, AI development and inference. Check each framework, application and plug-in for Windows on Arm support.
AI compute. Microsoft quotes up to 1 petaflop of peak theoretical FP4 performance using sparsity on selected configurations. This is not measured application throughput. Model size, precision, runtime and available memory determine what runs locally.
15-inch PixelSense Ultra. Mini-LED, 3270 × 2180 resolution, 3:2 aspect ratio, 262 ppi and dynamic refresh up to 120 Hz. Individually colour-calibrated with 100% DCI-P3 colour coverage, Dolby Vision IQ and an anti-reflective finish.
Brightness. Up to 1,000 nits typical maximum SDR brightness and 2,000 nits peak HDR in a 10% window. HDR content and settings are required; sustained brightness is lower.
Touch. Ten-point multitouch. Surface Pen and Surface Slim Pen are not supported.
Three USB-C / USB4 ports. Each supports 40 Gbps, DisplayPort 2.1 and up to 140 W charging. One includes Magnetic Connect. Connect up to three external 4K displays at 60 Hz with compatible displays, cables and accessories.
Built in. HDMI 2.1b, USB-A 3.1, a full-size SD card reader and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4; 6 GHz Wi-Fi availability depends on local regulation.
Microsoft battery tests. Up to 15 hours of local video playback or 12 hours of active web use. These are separate test scenarios, not estimates for rendering or sustained RTX workloads. Battery life varies with configuration, brightness, settings and use.
At your desk or on the move. Approximately 2.0 kg. The enclosure measures 328.8 × 238.7 × 17.99 mm without feet. Fast charging requires a compatible USB-C PD supply of at least 115 W. Confirm the supplied charger in the local quote.
A 1080p Full HD Surface Studio Camera, dual Studio Mics and quad Omnisonic speakers with Dolby Atmos support. A backlit keyboard and precision haptic touchpad with Adaptive touch mode complete the setup.
Business foundation. Windows 11 Pro, Secured-core PC protection, TPM 2.0, BitLocker support and Windows Hello facial sign-in. Microsoft 365 and subscription-based Copilot services are licensed separately.
Servicing. Microsoft lists Surface Laptop Ultra driver and firmware servicing through 16 October 2032. This is a servicing period, separate from Windows support and hardware warranty. Confirm South African warranty and service coverage with Braintree. Microsoft lifecycle details.
Specifications checked against Microsoft and NVIDIA on 13 October 2026. South African configurations, pricing and delivery require local confirmation.
Bring Microsoft 365, Copilot, endpoint management and security into the device decision. Check your licences, policies and software requirements against the exact configuration.
Build the service scope around the users receiving the devices. Put each requirement and commercial term into the proposal.
Agree memory, storage, accessories and the applications each role requires.
Scope application preparation, device enrolment and the handover approach around the supported platform.
Define support channels, service coverage and escalation responsibilities for the supplied configuration.
Include Hardware-as-a-Service in the commercial discussion. Any monthly proposal is subject to an approved model and agreed terms.
Compatibility needs checking for your actual versions, plug-ins, drivers and peripherals. Some applications run natively, others use emulation, and specialist dependencies may require a different approach. Include your app list in the enquiry.
Request a pilot discussion in the form. Device access, scope, timing and terms need confirmation before an evaluation can be arranged.
Yes. Select Hardware-as-a-Service as your area of interest. Availability, pricing and terms are subject to an approved proposal.
The proposal should identify the device configuration, quantities, accessories, agreed deployment and support scope, pricing and delivery details. Software subscriptions and services must be listed explicitly.
Tell us about the team, the workload and your timeframe. Braintree will use these details to discuss the next step.
Configured for your workload. App fit assessed first. Local delivery, deployment and support scoped together.
