Microsoft\u2019s Surface Studio 2+ represents the rebirth of Microsoft\u2019s iconic, massive touchscreen all-in-one PC\u2014with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 under the hood alongside an 11th-gen Core chip.<\/p>\n
Otherwise, little has changed from its predecessor. The focal point of the Surface Studio 2+ remains its massive 28-inch (4500\u00d73000) touch display, which absolutely commands attention as it rises majestically from its undersized base via a \u201czero gravity hinge.\u201d Nevertheless, enthusiasts are likely to be disappointed by two key facts of this launch: No, there\u2019s no standalone Studio monitor yet, and Microsoft has continued to use mobile components inside the Surface Studio 2+.<\/p>\n
So what\u2019s changed? Microsoft has made the leap to a semi-modern mobile Core processor, though the 11th-gen Core (as opposed to the modern, shipping 12th-gen \u201cAlder Lake\u201d chip) is a bit of a head-scratcher. Nvidia\u2019s RTX 3060 GPU, however, makes more sense. <\/p>\n
Essentially, the Surface Studio 2+ is a small step up from the Surface Laptop Studio Microsoft debuted in 2021, which also emphasized its unique pull-forward display. Is it worth the price, which has jumped from $3,499 (the Surface Studio 2) to the Surface Studio 2+\u2019s starting price of $4,299.99? We\u2019ll have to wait for the reviews to see after shipments begin October 25. You can order today, if you like.<\/p>\n

*Microsoft didn\u2019t release the dimensions of the Surface Studio 2+, but these are the dimensions of the Surface Studio 2.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nAll of the ports are on the rear of the Surface Studio 2+, just like the original.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Microsoft will release the Surface Studio 2+ without the pen, keyboard, and mouse for $4,299.99 and with them for $4,499.99. A commercial version will be priced similarly.<\/p>\n
Some of the upgrades to the Surface Studio 2+ are in line with Microsoft\u2019s other Surface devices. For example, though there\u2019s no hint of a standalone Surface Studio display, the inclusion of Thunderbolt 4 means that a Surface Studio 2+ buyer will have the option of adding an additional three displays\u2014though at a \u201cpaltry\u201d 4K (3840\u00d72160) resolution, is it even worth it? <\/p>\n
However, Microsoft\u2019s Surface Studio 2+ does not ship with a 120Hz-capable display, perhaps an odd choice when Microsoft originally intended 120Hz to smooth and improve the digital inking experience, which is part and parcel of the Surface Studio lineup. <\/p>\n
Microsoft is also making the Surface Studio 2+ far more manageable, in that virtually everything from the display to the PSU, thermals, motherboard, and hinge cover are now replaceable through a Surface Commercial Authorized Device Reseller. It\u2019s doubtful that the Studio could be updated in this way, but we can dream.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
