Today’s best Surface Laptop Studio 2 preorder deal

Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Studio 2 might be a great MacBook Pro alternative for creators and power-users. The base model has a 14.4-inch, (2400 x 1600) 120Hz touch screen and is powered by a 13th Gen Intel Evo Core i7-13700H 14-core CPU alongside 16GB of RAM. For graphics handling and storage, it’s outfitted with Intel Iris Xe Graphics and removable 512GB SSD, respectively. 

If you’re looking for discrete graphics, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 GPU with 6GB of VRAM configuration costs $2,399. Or, get a 4060 GPU with 8GB of VRAM, 64GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD for $3,299. Content creators will want the highest tier with Nvidia RTX Ada 2000 GPU, 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD for $3,599.

In our Surface Laptop Studio 2 hands-on review, it wowed us with its versatile design, strong CPU and GPU combo, and haptic keyboard. We found the magnetic Surface Pen easy to use and its rated 18-hour battery life impressive. 

Microsoft design engineers gave the 2nd gen Surface Studio a silver anodized aluminum chassis with a shiny Windows logo adorned in the center of the lid. Under the lid you’ll find a full-size keyboard and new haptic touchpad. Port-wise, you get 2 x Thunderbolt 4 ports, 1 x USB Type-A 3.1 port, 1 x Surface Connect port, 1 x microSDXC card reader, and 3.5mm headphone jack. 

All that remains a mystery are the Surface Laptop Studio 2’s Benchmark test result. If it bests Apple’s M2 chip, it could dethrone the mighty MacBook Pro and cause an upset.
