Surface Laptop Studio

Meet the Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio. The laptop that borrows heavily from the design and name of the Surface Laptop, Surface Studio, Surface Pro devices and even the Acer ConceptD 7 Ezel.

It is available with 16 or 32GB RAM, and 256GB up to 2TB SSD storage. Oh, it also has an upgradeable SSD and comes with a thunderbolt 4 port. Weighs about 1.8kg and battery life estimations show up to 19 hours of typical device usage. Check out the full device specifications and models.
