The Surface Studio is a most impressive desktop that has already shaken up the all-in-one PC landscape, however, its exorbitant price makes it an extravagant dream for everyone but artists and illustrators.

For all of the chinks in its otherwise immaculately crafted armour, we love the Surface Studio. But as with all great love affairs, it comes with its caveats. Quite a few of them, in fact.

Surface Studio 2 review: A better all-in-one PC twist
Source: Engadget Archive.org version
So is the Surface Studio 2 worth it? For a certain type of creative consumer, one who demands a flexible display and powerful hardware, it could be. But at the very least, it's an easier sell than before.

First Look! Microsoft Surface Pro 9 and Surface Studio 2+
Source: Tom's Guide
Microsoft held its annual Microsoft Surface October event and unveiled what's next for the Surface family of laptops, tablets, and PCs. To be specific, we got our first glimpse of the new Microsoft Surface Pro 9, Microsoft Surface Studio 2+ and the Microsoft Surface Laptop 5. In this video, we'll give you a first-hand glimpse of the Surface Pro 9 and Surface Studio 2+.

Microsoft Surface Studio 2 Plus
Source: Tom's Guide
The Microsoft Surface Studio 2+ has many of the same features that placed the previous models in our best all-in-one and best computers lists. The huge 28-inch screen is quite a sight to behold and the zero gravity hinge makes it extremely easy to position the Surface Studio's screen to suit your needs. Whether you plan to do regular computing or want to use this device to bring your artistic creations to life, the Surface Studio 2+ has the makings of being an overall solid device. Despite its virtues, though, I still have some reservations about the Surface Studio 2+. The main thing I’m concerned about is the computer’s performance due to its outdated specs. Perhaps it's powerful enough for what it’s intended for, but a tech nerd like me can’t help but raise an eyebrow when I see what this machine is packing. And the fact the whole thing is $4,299 makes me even more skeptical. We expect to review the Microsoft Surface Studio 2+ in the near future. When that happens, we’ll compare it to its predecessor and similar devices on the market.

Microsoft Surface Studio 2+ hands-on: More power, but still not enough
Source: Engadget
Based on its initial specs, the Surface Studio 2+ wasn't the upgrade we've been waiting four years to see. Perhaps spending a bit of time with it will change my mind. Maybe I'd be fine with an 11th-gen Intel CPU, instead of this year's (far better) 12th-gen chips. During Microsoft's hands-on event at its NYC store (or "Experience Center," as the company prefers), I spent some time with the Surface Studio 2+. It's certainly a very fast computer — but the thing is, it should be much more.

Comment

Microsoft:

Microsoft smartphones and tablets have been tested since 2012. There are many reviews with average ratings. The reader's interest is quite given, but the market share is not big enough for the Top 5 smartphone manufacturers (as of 2016).

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M:

Fast high-end graphics card based on the Maxwell GM204 chip from the GeForce GTX 900M series.

With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (Desktop): Pascal based high-end desktop graphics card based on a cut down GP104 (like the GTX 1080) and GDDR5 graphics memory. Rated at 150 Watt TDP (desktop version).

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU: High-End laptop graphics card based on the Ampere GA106 chip with 3072 cores. Available in different versions with a TDP from 60 to 115 Watt.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

6820HQ: Skylake-based quad-core processor for notebooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 530 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.

Intel Kaby Lake:

i7-7820HQ: Quad-core notebook processor based on the Kaby Lake architecture running at 2.9 - 3.9 GHz. It is the second fastest model of the consumer H-series in the beginning of 2017. The chip also integrates the HD Graphics 630 GPU clocked at 350 - 1100 MHz and is manufactured in a 14 nm process (improved compared to Skylake).

Intel Tiger Lake:

i7-11370H: Tiger Lake (H35 series) based high end quad-core SoC for thin and light gaming laptops and workstations. The four CPU cores clock with 3 - 3.3 GHz base clock (28 - 35 W TDP) and up to 4.8 GHz Boost clock. The integrated G7 Iris Xe GPU offers 96 cores at 400 - 1350 MHz.

9.4 kg:

A laptop with this weight is comparatively heavy and less designed for mobility than for use at the desk. Therefore, the devices tend to shine less with battery life than with a large screen and higher performance.

9.6 kg:

82.25%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
