Microsoft unveiled the Surface Laptop Ultra, pairing a new NVIDIA RTX Spark GPU with a 15‑inch 4K display and a 12‑hour battery, positioning it as a direct rival to the MacBook Pro. The launch follows Dell’s XPS, which starts at $599 for students and $699 for the general market, offering a comparable 13‑inch 4K screen and a 12‑hour runtime. Meanwhile, Alienware introduced the AW3926QW, the first 39‑inch 5K OLED monitor with an RGB stripe panel, and announced a refreshed 34‑inch ultra‑wide model alongside more affordable 32‑ and 34‑inch options, targeting both gaming and professional users.
