Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio review: Windows 11’s flagship feels like the future

Microsoft pretty much nails both content creation and consumption with the Surface Laptop Studio, though it's a premium design that's a little rough around the edges.

Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio
  • Expert Rating

    4.00 / 5

Pros

  • Pull-forward design feels like the future
  • Inking experience is very good
  • Bright, high-refresh-rate display

Cons

  • Pricey
  • Display resolution steps down a bit versus Surface Book 3
  • Dynamic refresh rate feature isn't quite here

Bottom Line

Microsoft's Surface Laptop Studio feels like the wave of the future, but you'll play a little more for this content creation / consumption / gaming convertible 2-in-1 that is helping to launch Windows 11.
