This Surface Laptop Studio 2 has an Intel Core i7-13700KF, 32GB of RAM, 1TB SSD storage, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card. (You can also get the model with the more powerful NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada graphic card for $700 off.) The 14.4-inch IPS touchscreen has a 2400 by 1600 native resolution with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. What makes this laptop special is the ability to move the screen forward past the keyboard, offering an alternative to the usual tablet design, which it can also do (hence the 3-in-1 name). This mode can be great for watching movies or playing video games, which this laptop can handle well.

PCMag gave this laptop an "outstanding" review for its capable performance, premium screen, and versatility, but it did have some issues: The color coverage in the Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 color spaces was "okay," which can be a problem for designers and artists looking for the best color-matching options. Another issue among reviewers was the short battery life. Although it is marketed for up to 18 hours of battery, PCMag got 15 hours, and other reviewers experienced much less juice over time.
