Microsoft’s new Surface Laptop Ultra finally has a starting price (you should sit down)

ZDNET’s key takeaways

• The new Surface Laptop Ultra launches Oct. 18.
• It’s thoughtfully designed but very pricey.
• The Ultra marks a shift in where PCs are headed.

Microsoft announced a launch date for its new Surface Laptop Ultra: October 18th, with a starting price of $2,599 for the lowest-tier configuration (and going up to $6,000 from there). It dropped the news at a showcase event in San Francisco on Wednesday, attended by Satya Nadella and Jensen Huang, the CEOs of Microsoft and Nvidia, respectively.

Also: I tried the Surface Laptop Ultra at Computex, and it’s clear: Microsoft means business
