Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 Review

In 2021, Microsoft waved goodbye to the Surface Book for a new high-powered PC device. Now, the Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 is here.

Solid creator capabilities ; Impressive battery life ; Bright and detailed 3:2 display ; Top-tier design and portability

Can get hot and loud ; Performance falls short of rivals ; High starting price

The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio is a MacBook Pro competitor with a twist. It doesn’t keep up with its Apple rival or comparative Windows laptops in terms of raw power but mostly makes up for it with a classy and interesting design alongside strong...

Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 review: a laptop unlike any other

The second-gen Surface Laptop Studio shows Microsoft is still willing to experiment with unique kit – and it sure is special

Unusual hinge design ; Quality keyboard and touchpad ; Clever and quiet cooling system

Screen resolution could be higher, colour depth better ; Uses 13th Gen CPUs, not the latest Intel Ultra kind ; Falls short of all-day battery life ; Highly expensive

The Surface Laptop Studio 2 is a bloomin’ lovely laptop that's not exactly like anything else out there (bar its predecessor). It isn’t half pricey, though, and when the processor and display tech aren’t quite cutting-edge, and its most distinctive...

Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 review: There's almost nothing it can't do

The Surface Laptop Studio 2 can transform into a tablet, but that doesn't mean it's lacking in power.

14.4-inch touchscreen ; Fast performance ; Plenty of ports including a MicroSD card slot

Stylus not included ; Expensive ; Bulky

A 2-in-1 laptop that can be used as a PC or as a tablet, the Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 is a very well-rounded bit of kit. It's pricey, but it's worth it because of the impressive list of specs.

Surface Laptop Studio 2 review: Microsoft’s latest is faster, but is it better?

Microsoft's updated Surface Laptop Studio 2 boasts better specs and performance, but it isn't the update we've waited nearly two years for.

Beautiful PixelSense Flow display Robust hinge design Comfortable keyboard and trackpad Sharp webcam

Expensive Mediocre battery life Middling performance in Recommended mode

“Microsoft's Surface Laptop Studio 2 is a spec upgrade that isn't worth the extra cash.”

Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 Review

Convertible touch screen becomes drafting tablet ; Latest Intel and Nvidia silicon ; Dedicated neural chip for local AI ; 120Hz screen refresh rate ; Added USB-A and microSD ; Long battery life ; Cleverly located, charging magnetic stylus holder

Surface Pen still sold separately ; Expensive ; Just-okay Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 color coverage ; AI boosts only Windows Studio Effects, for now

Microsoft's Surface Laptop Studio 2 significantly ramps up the performance with modern parts and dedicated AI processing—all while maintaining the unique pull-forward touch-screen design.

Surface Laptop Studio 2 review: this could be so much more

Microsoft has refreshed its Surface Laptop Studio or, as I tend to call it in my head, “that big bendy, foldy thing.” It's almost identical to its predecessor, 2021's Surface Laptop Studio , with the unique fold-over hinge that allows the screen to...

Adaptive touchpad great for accessibility ; Gorgeous build ; 120Hz display with dynamic refresh rate ; Unique convertible hinge

Short battery life ; Very expensive ; Lacks a full SD slot

I am glad that a Windows convertible for creative professionals, with this level of craftsmanship and quality, exists. But I wish it were more. I wish it could be a more powerful version of Acer’s truly innovative ConceptD line — a laptop with a...
