Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 hands-on review: Is it a MacBook Pro killer?
For the uninitiated, the Surface Laptop Studio 2 is the Windows laptop you get if you want that extra kick in graphics and processing power. The new-generation Surface Laptop Studio 2 comes with up to an Intel Core i7-13800H CPU. You can also choose between an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 or 4060 GPU. There's an option with Nvidia RTX 2000 graphics available, too.
But what’s interesting is that Microsoft made a bold claim that would make Apple shake in its boots. The Surface Laptop Studio 2 is allegedly powerful enough to take down one of the burliest laptops on the market: the MacBook Pro. No, Microsoft isn't talking about the MacBook Pro with lower-powered M2 chip. No, it's referring to the MacBook Pro with the M2 Max, the most herculean chip you can find in a MacBook.
At the event, Microsoft demonstrated that the Surface Laptop Studio 2 is capable of outpacing the M2 Max MacBook Pro in a Blender task, leaving the Apple laptop in the dust. After hearing that, I couldn’t wait to explore the Surface Laptop Studio 2 for myself when I saw it sitting in all its splendor in the showroom floor. Let’s breakdown what’s new with the Surface Laptop Studio 2.
