On the Surface Laptop 5 side of things, pricing also starts at $1,000 from Microsoft for the base 13-inch, though Amazon has a 15-inch model for $1,600. However, by ordering direct from Microsoft, you can get a Surface Pro 9 for as little as $1,000, though the specs do vary a little as it only comes with 128GB of storage instead of 256GB like Amazon offers. The Surface Pro 9 is available to pre-order at Amazon, starting at $1,100 for the non-5G model and $1,300 for the version with 5G built-in.

However, Microsoft is updating the Surface Studio 2+ with better I/O this time around, including USB-C and Thunderbolt 4, so that’s a plus. The Studio 2+ will be a solid workhorse all around, and the i7 H-series processor is said to be “up to 50% faster” in CPU performance over the previous generation, though we would have liked to see the 12th Generation put to use here. While it’ll be faster than previous generations and packs a 28-inch 3:2 display, Microsoft is keeping the Studio 2+ on 11th Generation Intel, while upgrading it to an RTX 3060 graphics card. You’ll find the standard 3:2 PixelSense display here in either a 13.5- or 15-inch option, each packing Dolby Vision IQ technology to give you “the best picture possible.” The speakers are also Dolby-powered, delivering Atmos 3D spatial processing to “fully immerse you in your content.”Ĭontinuing to the Surface Studio 2+, the update is a little less impressive.
