Microsoft is hosting a Windows and Surface event on Wednesday in San Francisco, its first laptop-centric event in two years. The company describes it as a conversation on how local AI will shape the next chapter of the PC.
CEO Satya Nadella and Pavan Davuluri, head of Windows and Devices, are slated to speak, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is slated to appear as well, according to CNET.
The event begins at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET and will be livestreamed on YouTube.
The Surface Laptop Ultra, a 15-inch high-end variant powered by Nvidia's new RTX Spark chip, was first announced this spring at Computex. Earlier this month, Microsoft upgraded its Surface Pro 12-inch and Surface 13-inch laptops, running on Snapdragon Elite X2 chips, and introduced a new Surface mouse, previewed at Qualcomm's Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii.
Over the last year, computer hardware companies including Apple, Asus and Acer have raised prices to keep up with rising manufacturing costs, a situation sometimes called RAMageddon.
