Surface Laptop Studio Impressions: Windows 11 With a Twist!

[@nicholasrodgers7007]

I'm a programmer and a hobby digital artist. I was looking for a device like this a few years ago but wasn't thrilled with the options. I settled on a dedicated ipad for drawing and laptop for most other things, but if I was looking again today I think this would be pretty compelling

[@mayur_punjabi]

[@farajshaikh5100]

[@Arianit95]

You can do that with a Convertible Lapotop too, and even better, the trackpad wouldnt be in the way I dont get the point of this device.

[@AWS137]

That 45 degree angle thing will be amazing for educators like myself. When I teach, I need the webcam and I need to write on my screen. On the normal laptop mode, the screen wobbles, and my hand really has to reach in to write. If I use the tablet mode, I can write stably, but my webcam can longer see me (just up my nose). Genius!

[@water-sv2ou]

I suggest you surface pro 7 because you can remove keyboard if you want to use it like tablet.but even with keyboard it will still have touchscreen.

[@simonbrown7455]

Yeah us educators need to maximise our usage of technology. Ai has come in extremely helpful.

The 45 degree mode is brilliant for just one reason and one reason alone: Watching movies in cramped airplane seats

the concept is awesome for certain people. For example, I use my laptop for studio work and live sound productions. and having a laptop with ability to put the touchscreen closer to your fingers and in a more stable position (in regular book mode the screen wobbles a lot when you're using the touchscreen) is just awesome for scenarios when you're constantly adjusting parameters and faders on the digital mixer via your laptop

[@rainbowkittycat627]

I think this method of converting from one form to another is great! As a student, I have a two in one laptop and i use the writing feature a lot, but i have to flip the laptop everytime and have my keyboard face the table surface which makes it dirty or just feels weird. This alternative seems great and more versatile.

[@halami2149]

My sister has this laptop called the Sony vaio flip or something, and it folds down a lot like this surface laptop studio. She’s been wanting to find another laptop like it, but this one seems to be the only one, but it’s pretty expensive After looking it up, I guess that Sony laptop was expensive too? I mean, it’s a newer version I guess, but I don’t think they make it anymore

[@Sammy-sm4yg]

The reason i bought myself Surface Book 2 is exactly the problem you face. I had been looking for a artist friendly laptops since i am a designer and always landed up on foldable,yoga type ranges from different brands until i found the one. Trust me, once u get the flexibility u need there's no going back. It's so necessary to have access to certain angle of screen when u work it not only makes u work faster but more efficiently. It's been 2+ years since i am using SB2 and i have no complaints so far. I would highly recommend u to switch to something which works for u, it's gonna change the game for u trust me.

[@annabananaSplitz1]

i would tell microsoft to shut up and take my money. it looks sleek and convenient

[@Dan-sc7ln]

@@annabananaSplitz1 😂😂🤣

[@mini9503]

I don't think so. Notice how the screen doesn't stay totally flat on the table because there's a slight incline? Not everyone's gonna like that angle. Want Portrait mode? Well with this you can't, because the incline is now side to side thus you can't use the device vertically like paper because of a 'see-saw' like effect. Also battery life is only 6.5 hours according to Mobiletechreview channel. Students looking to do Digital-Note-Taking should look into other devices probably. This is more of a stationary setup for creatives and engineers.

[@robertzrh]

Well I really love the laptop for a specific reason and this is the movable scrrren. The screen becomes particullary important when you work from home and want to whiteboard something in an online meeting. A normal laptop screen is always bouncing a bit and this one just stays and you can switch inbetween classic and whiteboard sessions wiht a simple move. Great device.

[@viktorbihar5384]

I am an artist and this is my take. It is not the best, but tbh, this video doesn't give it enough credit, however, my take is on the second generation, which I got a month before Christmas. here it is: They made the second generation of this laptop. I have it and I thought I would regret it, but it is worth it for anyone as a first laptop with dedicated GPU if you want a stylish computer and build quality that can last. The second generation comes with the i7 - 13700H and the RTX 4050, with up to 64 gigs of "LPDDR5X" and 2 terabytes of storage.... but for quite a hefty price. I only ever had it spin up the fans at 80% speed 2 times, and both times for less than 5 minutes, and I have also been using it for about a month now, using it every day. There are better laptops out there, but they are at a steeper price, and the most powerful laptops make you look like a child with all the RGB. I have nothing against RGB, I just think it makes more sense with an actual build, like a pc. RGB is supposed to make your build more legendary.... a computer is not a build, it's bought. The third generation of this laptop is actually being made with the RTX 3060 ti, according to some rumors. I actually use the "Stage mode" or what is actually called Studio Mode for videos almost 90% of the time. I am an artist, so I use it for art as well, because the main benefit is that in Studio Mode, or Table Mode, you can more easily move the screen and device into the right position. Studio Mode allows you to move the screen closer to you as well. As for my Studio laptop with the i7 and 4050, it has zero issues running Lightroom classic, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Clip Studio Paint, an art app that is as heavy or even heavier than Adobe Premier Pro. When I am running two or all of these applications in many combinations at once, the most I get from the fans is a constant spin up that is literally quieter than a whisper even on my lap, on the couch, where it gets warmer much quicker. I appreciate Brownlee's review, but with 10 minutes, this doesn't even give the device a single chance. But this is just how I think of the video. I use it for Adobe Premier Pro 4k video editing with 100% smooth 4k video play-back, something that is quite a heavy feat to execute. I will be using Adobe Animate for one of my classes in Web Development, soon, so I will be back with an update about how it handles animation. HOWEVER, I have enough confidence it will handle animation exceptionally.

This 3 position Surface is perfect for someone like me who travels for work a lot. So as laptop, well I use it as a laptop. In the second condiguration it's perfect for consuming media specifically in hotels and perfect for on airplanes where space in front of you is limited. I can't open my Surface Book all the way on a plane tray. And in flat mode I'd use it for taking notes. I use to use my Surface Pro for notes all the time, but stopped using my Surface Book for notes cause it's too big as a stand alone tabliet. so this new three way config is perfect for my use. MS obviously knows what a professional on the go needs.

If we are talking about a sturdy easel that can hold it then I would agree and say that it's okay, not everyone likes them, but it's okay. I own a Surface Book 2 and I've tested many other convertibles, none of them can be used comfortably without a descent rigid stand that you have to buy separately. (That's why nobody rushes to replace their drawing tablets amongst the professionals.) But this kinda eliminates the whole purpose of having these angles and features in a convertible in the first place. If I could go back in time I'd have rather bought a normally spec'ed laptop and a drawing tablet like Huion or Wacom with a screen and a stand.

These are the 3 modes I always used on the Surface Book.

I'm thinking of replacing my Surface Book 2, and I'm considering this. The hinge on the Book sometimes disconnects the GPU and causes programs to crash, and I think the bottom battery is shot and the top battery might be starting to swell. I had a Sony VAIO Flip back in the day which was exactly what the Surface Laptop Studio is today, but ahead of its time. It was essentially a Surface Pro 3 in a different formfactor. The pen had a bunch of input lag, and the 16:9 ratio wasn't ideal. I do like how it had an actual ethernet port though and a decent keyboard.

Yep... Surface book 2 owner here as well. Like you, tablet mode is not use often, but reversing it is. This looks like a great computer to dock at desk.
