SeekerMicrosoft Surface Laptop Studio
The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio has a flexible design for both traditional and touch-based computing, with a great keyboard and trackpad and a bright 120 Hz display. But if raw CPU power is key, look to competitors that offer 8-core CPUs.

The Surface Laptop Studio follows in the footsteps of the Surface Book lineup, and brings about one of the most compelling laptops in Microsoft's history. Microsoft could have gone for more powerful hardware, but in the end, it probably won't matter too much, as the unique form factor is probably the biggest selling point here.

Whether you like the Surface Laptop Studio or not will hinge on whether you do creative work, it’s an expensive piece of hardware – and at 4 pounds, I would like to see a little more power under the hood. Still, as far as a Gen 1 device goes, it’s none too shabby. If you’re looking for a unique computer featuring great hardware and a phenomenal battery, the Laptop Studio fits the bill. You just might need to temper your gaming expectations a bit.

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 content creators, as during testing we found the lack of high-end GPU options and the screen’s low colour coverage hampers its ability to compete with professional-grade devices.
