Let\u2019s get this out of the way: The Surface Laptop Studio isn\u2019t the laptop you buy if you want the best specs for the money. If that\u2019s what you\u2019re looking for, you can stop reading.<\/p>\n

Microsoft says it\u2019s the most powerful Surface<\/em> ever, but the device simply isn\u2019t going to provide you with the performance per dollar you\u2019d get from some traditional laptop Windows competitors, let alone Apple\u2019s MacBooks and their overpowered ARM chips or gaming PC\u2019s with mega-powerful GPUs.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s not much sense in comparing it to a boring regular laptop, because this isn\u2019t a boring regular laptop. Instead, the Surface Laptop Studio is the most versatile PC ever made.<\/p>\n

I realize some of you are rolling your eyes right now at such a hyperbolic-sounding statement. Yes, it\u2019s an opinion, but one that I think is reasonable. From where I\u2019m standing, there has never been a PC as good at doing so many things well as the Surface Laptop Studio.<\/p>\n

Starting at $1,600 and quickly climbing up to $2,100+ if you want a dedicated GPU, the Surface Laptop Studio is no bargain, but it does a heck of a lot to justify its price to the right buyer. It is the proverbial jack of all trades, except it actually is a master of some,<\/em> too.<\/p>\n

Design: Master<\/h3>\n

The Surface Laptop studio is stunning.<\/p>\n

I can see how the device\u2019s two-tiered base can be divisive, especially in static photos. It is a little weird. But it also stands out, and in this case, form follows function.<\/p>\n

From some angles, the Surface Laptop Studio tends to look like it\u2019s hovering over my desk, like some kind of laptop-spaceship hybrid. This design provides a neat place to store the Surface Pen, which is attached via some really<\/em> strong magnets and charges wirelessly, and it provides a bit of palm shielding from the side-firing vents. The two-tiered design also makes the laptop look thinner than it is from most perspectives, as the lower portion is hidden by the thinner upper portion.<\/p>\n

Viewed directly from the side, the design can have the opposite effect, as the lack of curves makes the laptop look abnormally thick. But in reality, it\u2019s barely thicker than average for the premium laptop category, at 19mm, despite the folding display. For reference, the XPS 15 is 18mm thick, while the 15\u2033 MacBook Pro is 16mm.<\/p>\n
