There are a few other things to note about the screen. I don’t miss the extra pixels it’s just a strange downgrade to make, although it’s possible that the lower resolution is to make up battery life for the higher refresh rate. The 13.5-inch Surface Laptop 4, on the other hand, is 2,256×1,504 for the same 201ppi pixel density that the Surface Laptop Studio has.

The 13.5-inch Surface Book 3 had a 3,000×2,000 screen, and the Surface Pro 8 has a 2,880×1,920 screen, both of which offer 267ppi pixel densities. The resolution is 2,400×1,600, which feels low. It’s got a 14.4-inch 3:2 display, and the size really feels like the sweet spot. The Surface Laptop Studio has neither a 13.5- or a 15-inch display like its predecessors did, and like the Surface Laptop 4 does. Display: The Surface Laptop Studio has a 14.4-inch 3:2 screen It’s great hardware, in a rarely-used form factor. That’s what the Surface Laptop Studio is. Not everything in the Surface lineup had to redefine a category.

It’s finally here.Įver since the firm introduced the Surface Laptop, the brand has seen something of a pivot. Anyway, Thunderbolt is another one of those things that Surface fans have been waiting for for a long, long time. Weird fact: Microsoft put the two Thunderbolt 4 ports on the left side of the Surface Laptop Studio, but on the right side of the Surface Pro 8. On the other side, there are two Thunderbolt 4 ports. In fact, microSD expansion on the Surface Pro 8 is gone too. The full-size SD card slot that was on the Surface Book 3 is gone now. It was a real pain.Īlso, while that Surface Connect may look like an SD card slot at first glance, it’s not. In other words, to use wired headphones with a Surface Book 3, the wire would be dangling from the top of your screen. If you have used a Surface Book, then you’ve experienced the pain point of the terrible headphone jack placement, which was on the side, but at the top of the screen. If you’ve never used a Surface, then this all seems totally unexceptional.

Indeed, the right side of the device has a Surface Connect port and a 3.5mm audio jack. Speaking of the sides, notice that the headphone jack is in a proper location. It’s a very minor issue, but it’s something that I’ve noticed on a few occasions. That’s to be expected, but since the vents run along the sides like that, you can actually feel the warm air if you’re using a mouse next to it. The vents are placed underneath the device, and since this has more powerful internals than the Surface Book 3, it generates more heat. It magnetically attached, and as you can see from the image above, the Slim Pen 2 perfectly aligns with both edges of the shelf. I would have expected a cutout for it, but creating a shelf that spans the width of the laptop is a bit much.

The new Slim Pen 2 is stored on a shelf underneath the Surface Laptop Studio, and it’s a bit strange. I don’t really know of any laptops with powerful internals like this that weigh less. It’s a powerful machine, and it’s finally properly powerful, which we’ll talk more about in the performance section. Speaking of the weight, I really think four pounds is the sweet spot for something like this. In order to get dedicated graphics, you’ll need to opt for the Core i7 model, which starts at $2,099.99 with 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD. The Surface Laptop Studio actually starts at $1,599.99, and that comes with a Core i5-11300H, 16GB RAM, a 256GB SSD, and Iris Xe graphics. This configuration is a Surface Laptop Studio for Business, and there doesn’t seem to be specific pricing for that just yet. These are the specs of the unit that Microsoft provided for this review however, the pricing is estimated based on a similar configuration with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti.
