Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra review: A monster AI laptop with a monster price

PCWorld

The Dell Laptop Buying Guide UK: Which Dell Laptop Should You Buy? When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. Microsoft's Surface Laptop Ultra is part productivity machine, part AI workstation. But can you afford it? Microsoft's Surface Laptop Ultra is a new class of device, combining efficient productivity, powerful graphics, plus AI capabilities, all for a price that seems totally unrealistic in the 2026 economy. Microsoft's Surface Laptop Ultra and its newfangled Nvidia RTX Spark chip characterize what many would call a new axis of productivity: AI. With it comes an old, familiar feeling of FOMO, or the fear of missing out. For decades, the equation has been simple: A faster CPU means applications run faster. A faster GPU equates to higher frame rates in PC games. Now there's AI, which means memory matters. Memory is shared between the Arm CPU and powerful RTX GPU inside the Nvidia Spark N1X chip powering the Surface Laptop Ultra, and more memory means the ability to load more powerful AI models. As regards the Surface Laptop Ultra model that Microsoft shipped us, my first impression was one of disappointment, as it came with just a "measly" 32GB of memory (along with its whopping $3,699 price tag).

eMeet SmartCam C960 Ultra webcam review: Almost perfect

PCWorld

Only the surprisingly bad mics hold back the eMeet SmartCam C960 Ultra 4K webcam from what could have been a perfect score. The eMeet C960 Ultra 4K webcam is a well-constructed, affordable, 4K autofocus camera with terrific image quality. However, the input mics are truly bad. It's hard to find anything to dislike about the eMeet C960 Ultra 4K autofocus webcam, which continues the industry's trend to provide 4K resolution at ever-lower prices. The key here is the webcam's 1/1.5-inch sensor, unusually large for the price range, which helps the camera excel in low-light situations.


6 Prime Day home office deals I'd actually spend money on

PCWorld

PCWorld highlights six Prime Day home office deals worth buying, including the Acer Aspire 14-inch laptop for $589 and LG 27US500 4K monitor for $170. Featured deals include the Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station at 35% off and EMeet S600 webcam at its lowest price with 4K resolution. The article warns against the Seagate 8TB external drive deal, recommending cloud storage instead while promoting practical office upgrades over flashy features. Amazon's Prime Day offers a terrific opportunity to overhaul your home office with affordable laptops, displays, and peripherals, all at substantial discounts -- and no, that's not hype! Understandably, things have felt somewhat bleak. Tariffs have pushed prices higher, and shortages of memory and storage have elevated the price of PCs and laptops.

I'll never buy another laptop without Windows Hello It's so important, I even go out of my way to add it to my desktop PCs! I review a lot of laptops here at PCWorld, and I'm always surprised when I unbox one without biometric hardware. Fingerprint readers and infrared (IR) cameras for facial recognition are both great--and some laptops even have both! But then you have those that skip the biometric hardware entirely, which is a huge loss these days.
