I took a "behind-the-scenes" tour at Microsoft today， where I was able to inspect the Surface Laptop Ultra firsthand and therefore was able to record those clips.

The most obvious takeaway： Microsoft is now aiming to enter into direct competition with Apple and challenge the MacBook Pro. Needless to say， I wasn't able to conduct any real-world testing. However， the build quality， thermal management， the display， and- above all- the NVIDIA chip are certainly impressive.

Whether it will truly manage to challenge Apple's MacBooks remains to be seen. But one thing is certain： Microsoft means business.
