The Studio’s 14.4-inch, 2400 x 1600 screen was an excellent canvas for watching an 8K nature video on YouTube - the blue skies and lush grass popped off the screen with rich and lifelike hues, and we could make out every whisker and scar on a lion’s face during a close-up. The Surface Laptop Studio’s display doesn’t just contort itself in all kinds of cool ways - it’s also a real looker, offering vibrant colors and sharp detail whether you’re churning out work, doing some drawing or bingeing Netflix.

Overall, the haptic trackpad feels like a nice little upgrade to the Surface Laptop line, and one that didn’t take much getting used to. It’s not as robust as Apple’s Force Touch trackpads - which can respond to multiple levels of pressure to let you quickly look up text or scroll through videos faster - though you can adjust the intensity of the Studio’s rumble or turn it off completely. And unlike a traditional click-based trackpad, the Laptop Studio’s pad responded equally well to our inputs no matter where on the surface we clicked.

It worked really well in our testing, as everything from clicking between browser tabs to pinching to zoom into webpages felt responsive and natural. Its travel and feedback even feels slightly better than our MacBook Pro’s Magic Keyboard, which we find to be one of the best laptop keyboards around.Īnother Laptop Studio feature taken right out of the Apple playbook is the haptic touchpad, which ditches physical buttons in favor of a touch-sensitive pad that vibrates to simulate a click. The keyboard’s satisfying depth and snappy responsiveness brings the excellent Surface Laptop 4 to mind, except this time our fingers had even more space to work with, thanks to the Studio’s larger design. The Surface Laptop Studio just might feature Microsoft’s best laptop keyboard yet - and that’s saying a lot. The 4-pound device also gets pretty bulky and heavy in tablet mode, so we’d recommend using it on a flat service rather than holding it in your hands when drawing or browsing the web.

The laptop’s underside has a slight bump to it - likely to house its many high-end components - that keeps it from looking and feeling quite as sleek as a MacBook Pro or a Razer Blade. While the Laptop Studio has one of the best 2-in-1 designs we’ve seen so far, it’s not without its flaws. It mostly lays flat when you fold it down in Studio mode, though there is a very slight incline that we didn’t really notice when sketching away. By comparison, the Laptop Studio mostly looks like a regular ol’ notebook in laptop mode, and you won’t feel a keyboard on your fingers when you’re using it as a tablet. Notebooks such as the HP Elite Folio and Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 also have folding screens, but you’ll have to deal with either a bulky hinge in the back or a somewhat uncomfortable design that makes you grip the keyboard in tablet mode. Microsoft’s new laptop isn’t the first 2-in-1 with this type of design, but it just might be the most elegant attempt at it yet. If you want a similarly great keyboard within a slimmer design and don’t need as much power, the $999 Surface Laptop 4 is a good mainstream alternative.Ī design that looks like Microsoft’s version of a MacBook You’ll still get more overall multitasking muscle - and longer battery life - out of the M1-powered MacBook Air, but the Laptop Studio is the way to go if your priority is visual work and gaming. How it compares: The Laptop Studio is significantly more powerful (and versatile) than most other Surface devices, especially when it comes to graphics performance. Its powerful Nvidia graphics make it ideal for demanding visual tasks, and it works great with the optional $129 Surface Slim Pen 2 for drawing or taking notes.
