The company also unveiled the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, a mini PC designed for developers. Preorders for the unit are currently open at a price of $5,999, with shipping scheduled to start in November.
Updates to the Windows operating system were also presented. These include Hybrid Intelligence features, allowing Copilot to interact with local files to perform tasks, and an updated search interface that supports quick actions directly from the search bar.
