Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio

 

The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio has a new screen hinge that still allows you to use this high-performance laptop as a tablet

Versatile hinge is great for digital artists ; Sharp and vibrant display ; Top-class design and keyboard ; Surprisingly good battery life

Weak graphics power compared to rivals ; Screen lacks pro-grade colour accuracy ; Stylus isn’t bundled in

The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio offers a fantastic design for digital artists, allowing you to fold the screen flat against the keyboard to use it as a makeshift graphics tablet. But this may only be a worthwhile device for hobbyists and causal...

Microsoft Surface Studio review: beautiful and innovative but costly

 

Not content with taking a bite out of Apple's share of the tablet and notebook market, Microsoft has produced its own desktop all-in-one, the Surface Studio

Stunning screen ; Accomplished drawing performance ; Stylish form factor

Last-gen mobile hardware ; Very limited upgradeability ; Jaw-dropping price

Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio review: State of the art

 

Microsoft's quirky, high-end laptop pushes the limits of hybrid design, but is it powerful and affordable enough for professionals? We find out.

Classic Surface build quality and attention to detail ; Good keyboard and touchpad ; High-spec screen

Expensive ; Hinge versatility could go even further ; Power ceiling isn’t that high for a professional device

The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio hides its special skills using smart and careful design, making it the best portable Surface for designers and artists. However, there are still clear ways to improve it in a second-generation model - not least...

Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio review: king of the hinge

 

Microsoft's Surface series gets another masterful entry, but it's pricey and it may fall short in a few areas for the more demanding pro users

Elegant hinge design ; Great build quality ; High-quality display

Does not include stylus ; Expensive for the performance on offer ; Hinge is not optimised for the best drawing/stylus angle

The king of the hinge returns, bringing an excellent screen and a haptic touchpad with it.

Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio review

 

The Surface Laptop Studio works well in each of its three distinct modes, but this new form factor won't please everyone looking for a hybrid laptop.

Great 120Hz screen ; All three modes work well ; Impressive battery life ; Solid performance

Expensive ; Limited to three fixed positions ; Not enough ports

The Surface Laptop Studio is technically the best 3-in-1 you can buy, with credible use cases for all three modes. However, you'll have to really want or need them to justify the high cost.

The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio is designed with versatility in mind. Go from laptop to tablet or prop the screen on the keyboard so you can sit back and relax while watching a movie on the large screen. See what we made of this laptop when we sent...

A notebook, a presentation system and a tablet, all rolled into one

Truly transformable ; Excellent laptop functionality ; Clever Stage presentation and Studio tablet mode ; Great battery life ; Two Thunderbolt 4 connections
