The Surface Laptop Ultra starts at a more affordable price, but evens out as you add hardware. It lacks pen support, its mini-LED display isn't as impressive, plus it's overall thicker and heavier.
Lenovo's Pro 9n starts at a higher price, but actually gets cheaper than Surface as you add hardware. Its OLED display, top-firing speakers, haptic touchpad with inking, and 9.1MP webcam are all benefits you won't get from Surface.
Microsoft's Surface Laptop Ultra and Lenovo's Pro 9n are among the first NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops that the Windows Central team has tested and reviewed. The Surface Laptop Ultra received 4 stars, while the Pro 9n bumped the score up to 4.5 stars.
Although we reviewed both laptops favorably, there are some major differences beyond the new NVIDIA chip that you'll certainly want to know about before buying.
There are plenty of similar specs across these laptops, and I know it's handy to have a quick reference table to compare.
