Watch the Surface Laptop Ultra Unveiled at Windows Event

A magnetic USB-C charger gets a nod, but several viewers of PCMag's Windows event coverage want something less flashy: a cleaner operating system, with less emphasis on AI. Others ask for gaming benchmarks. It's a practical counterpoint to a presentation built around agents, Copilot workflows and new hardware.

“Watch the Surface Laptop Ultra Unveiled at Windows Event” is comfortably the most-watched of PCMag's two new uploads, reaching about 82,000 views. The edited presentation features Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and the Windows team, covering agent security and local model execution before moving to the laptop and Nvidia-powered machines for creators and developers.

The other upload approaches AI from a more skeptical angle. In “Gemini's New Faces Are Cute. That's Exactly Why You Should Worry,” host Iyaz Akhtar explores Google's Live Avatar feature and raises privacy questions about giving conversational software an approachable face.

PCMag added subscribers over the week, while today's viewing is well above its usual daily pace. Nearby, Monitors Unboxed had a particularly busy viewing week; Denki added subscribers too, despite a slower viewing day. On PCMag's own shelf, Chris Hoffman's pre-event Windows explainer remains active, alongside Kimberly Gedeon's guide to US mobile networks.
