The bezels around the display are relatively thin, and as we said, they have rounded corners, which is neither cool nor useful. Now, it’s good to see that the lid opens easily with one hand. We also have to mention that the matte, rough surface of the laptop is very resistant to fingerprints. By the way, if you get the Core i5 (iGPU only) version, the device will be about 80 grams lighter. The laptop is both pretty thin, and relatively light, with a profile of 18.9mm and a weight of 1.82 kg.

However, the glass slab on top of the display certainly helps with that. This results in an extremely sturdy body, while the lid is a bit flexy. Microsoft made this laptop’s body out of aluminum and magnesium. You can check the prices and configurations in our Specs System: НNevertheless, let’s stop for a second, and talk about the shell that houses that special hardware. Basically, the four rounded corners eat up some of the pixels, and the software is not terribly good at recognizing that. This reminds us of those of the MacBook Pro 14 and 16, and we weren’t big fans back then. Not only because of its size and the way it rotates but because of the rounded corners. Undoubtedly, the gem of this device is its 14.4-inch 120Hz IPS display. Furthermore, if you need the software and legal goodies of a professional GPU, you can get the laptop with the RTX A2000. Interestingly, it combines a 35W Tiger Lake CPU with the power of a dedicated graphics card – the RTX 3050 Ti. Instead of the “ordinary” 360-degree hinge, it comes with a conventional one, as well as a secondary one, which is responsible for the flip movement – more on that later. It offers a fresh new look at the way we perceive convertibles. Of course, we are talking about the Surface Laptop Studio. Today, we are going to see one of their boldest notebooks. Of course, they’ve had mixed success, starting from their smartphone endeavors, all the way to the laptop world. However, Microsoft is probably the first one that comes to mind when we think of one. It’s not too often to see a software brand delve into the world of hardware.
