Microsoft has confirmed that it will host the on October 7, 2026, in San Francisco. The event is scheduled for 10 AM PT (1 PM ET) and marks Microsoft’s first major Windows event since May 2024. CEO Satya Nadella, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, and Windows and Surface chief Pavan Davuluri are all confirmed to attend, a lineup that strongly hints at what’s coming.
The event will focus on how local AI is shaping the future of personal computing, marking the company’s most significant Windows showcase in over two years. Microsoft is framing the event as a conversation on how local AI will shape the next chapter of the PC.
The pairing of Microsoft and NVIDIA leadership points toward more details on the Surface Laptop Ultra, which Microsoft unveiled in June 2026 without announcing pricing or availability. Other PC makers, including Dell, Lenovo, and Asus, have already announced their own RTX Spark-based devices, though none have published benchmarks yet, and Microsoft’s event could be where pricing and launch timing finally get nailed down across the ecosystem. The laptop is built around NVIDIA’s RTX Spark platform, the company’s first system-on-a-chip designed for Windows, and is widely seen as Microsoft’s answer to Apple’s MacBook Pro. Microsoft has also shown off a Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, a compact desktop using the same chip aimed at developers working with local AI models, which could also get more details at the event.
