Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio has been announced alongside other Surface devices and major updates for other Surface series products. The American tech company unveiled the most power-packed laptop at the Surface event. Microsoft is touting the new convertible Surface Laptop Studio as an advancement of the Surface Book. It adopts a completely new design over its predecessor, the Surface Book series laptops.
Last month, a report suggested that Microsoft is gearing up to replace the Surface Book 3 with a new laptop. The previously launched models came with removable displays. However, the new Studio laptop’s screen can be transformed into a tablet simply by pulling its screen forward. Microsoft describes this capability as the Studio Mode. In other words, the Surface Laptop Studio is originally a 2-in-1 device that works as a laptop but can be folded to serve as a tablet.

The Surface Laptop Studio sports a mammoth 14.4-inch PixelSense Display. The screen supports a refresh rate of 120Hz and has Dolby Vision. Furthermore, the laptop features a Dynamic Woven Hinge that enables the device to seamlessly toggle between three different modes. These include Studio, Stage, and Laptop mode. When the laptop mode is enabled, users will be able to use the Surface Laptop Studio as a regular laptop.
