The Surface Laptop Studio has four speakers that sound really good and can get loud without distortion. Using my Datacolor Spyder X Elite I recorded 100% sRGB, 81% Adobe RGB, and 85% P3 colour accuracy with a peak brightness of 501 nits on battery power. The 14.4-inch IPS touchscreen display has a resolution of 2,400 x 1,600px (3:2 aspect ratio) and features a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate that Microsoft calls ‘PixelSense Flow’. Microsoft Surface Studio features quad speakers. The full-size keyboard features white backlighting and grey keys with decent travel for a good typing experience. The trackpad is centred with massive palm rests on either side which is great for comfort.

The trackpad is excellent although nowhere near as large as the one on the MacBook Pro but it does feel just as good. The downside is that there are only two of them and for a device that’s designed for creative professionals, the lack of an SD card reader or HDMI is unfortunate. This means that either of these ports can be used to charge the Surface Laptop Studio which is especially handy if you forget the proprietary charger. On the right side are the two USB-C ports that also support Thunderbolt 4. The latter connects magnetically, which is great because if you accidentally trip on the cable, you’re less likely to pull the laptop off a desk. The right side has a 3.5mm headphone jack and the Surface Connect charging port. The front lip has been designed with a strong magnet to safely and securely store the optional stylus.Įither side has large speaker grills that also double as air vents. Despite the convenient size, my review device was 1.74kg, which isn’t all that light compared to other 14-inch laptops. The lower half of the body is 17.88mm thick with a recessed base that is smaller than the top half e.

The top bezel houses the 1080p webcam along with the necessary IR sensor for Windows Hello support but there’s no fingerprint sensor which would have been a welcome addition.

The bezels are larger than I was expecting for such a premium device which makes it look a little dated. I found this a bit fiddly and often unintentionally, pulled the display away from the lid. The top half of the display is stuck to the lid and the bottom half is held in place with magnets. The lid splits in two to allow the screen to go into Stage mode. The Surface Laptop Studio is built with a premium magnesium alloy body that feels rigid and robust. I like being able to hold a tablet in my hands to take notes or draw. Studio mode is a good screen position for digital artists but unlike dedicated tablets like the iPad Pro, the size, weight and thickness make it awkward to use. I feel a fourth mode that angled the display all the way to the edge of the palm rest would have been useful too for taking notes or drawing. I can see this being ideal for watching videos, giving presentations or using the Slim Pen 2 to take notes or create digital art. Stage mode places the screen in front of the keyboard and renders it redundant but it does make the screen rigid while using touch inputs. The first is the standard laptop mode, the second, Stage mode and the final position is Studio mode, which folds the screen, keyboard and body into a layered sandwich.

Instead, the screen is hinged in the middle of the back, which allows it to be positioned in three different modes.
