Hey all! Thanks for watching. Would love this laptop if it came in at the original price of the Surface Laptop Studio. More expensive, it's competing with the Macbook Pro 14, and it doesn't always win that battle. Also wanted to highlight audio since I forgot to mention it in the video. I believe the Laptop Studio 2 sports the same four omnisonic speakers as the original. I don't have the original on hand to compare the sound directly, but it doesn't sound like much has changed. Regardless, the audio is fantastic, really only beat out by the Macbook Pro 14.
The sad part about all the reviews I am seeing covering the new Laptop Studio 2 is that they all seem to missing the forest for the trees. I've yet to see a single review done by someone who is interested in the Surface Laptop Studio for the fairly obvious feature that separates it from likely every other laptop that showed up in the benchmark tests here. I just have a hard time taking a review about this laptop seriously if it never even touches on the feature a person looking to purchase this laptop should be most interested in if this laptop is on their radar.
@@jacobroach6178 There is a nuanced but particularly obvious reason for his statement though. Are you saying there is nothing about the Surface Laptop Studio 2 that would drop the MacBook off the short list of someone considering what Microsoft is offering?
@@jacobroach6178 Apple has lost the one big battle around which this device revolves: Offering a 2-in-1 with good or very good pen technology. Apple has consistently refused to either release an iPad pro with a regular MacOS, or to pen enable their MacBooks together with a tablet mode. Comparing the Surface Laptop Studio entirely on specs doesn´t do it justice. Now, if the 2-in-1 capability justifies such a steep premium in price is something everyone must decide for him-/herself. The alternative is a gaming laptop which is 1000-1500$ cheaper and still offers better performance, combined with a small Wacom Cintiq.
So I have original, and I barely used the pen (not an artist), but now that I'm in a college Math class, the pen has really come in handy. It was retroactively worth it The feels natural, especially with the whiteboard application but it only sucks that it's only online to work (specifically the whiteboard app)
@@Duskydog419 Def not just for that. I'm an engineer/designer working on a surfacebook 2 right now and really like the ability to have something to draw quick but detailed sketches on and then roll right over to a beast of a system to design/simulate on something quite ram and cpu heavy like solidworks. Unfortunately, the detach feature on my device requires you to shut down solidworks. This device could allow me to avoid shutting down solidworks along with dealing with the finicky detach feature. I don't think anyone that is looking to do graphic design is using this anyways, you just don't need this much beef.
I own the first studio laptop and I can honestly say it all depends on how you utilize the laptop me. Personally, I think it's the best that suits my needs because of the stylish pen and the stage mode. Those two alone makes my workflow as a photographer editor the best. If you are getting a laptop off of just specs than I would not recommend it. But if you are going based off the bells and whistles that you actually utilize, the studio is hands down the best laptop
Me too , i have the SLS1 . Today after 18 months , my battery capacity is at 96% ....quite impressive . I saw the SLS2 and i was quite shocked that they are asking now for SGD1000 more , and they are offering only the basic XE graphics , the product is now heavier , bulkier , and the ghosting on the screen is 42% worse than SLS1 . See Cbutters tech review on youtube . Its literally so shocking cos the SLS1 had average ghosting already ....so to be 42% worse puts the screen in the bad category . 120hz refresh cannot help much , ghosting is a separate different quality that many dont know about unless they game .
Like what’s said , it has uncanny perks like the stage mode . Which is unique . Think 🤔 presentation to client if u sell insurance , think reading E-newspapers while you are at a foodcourt or cafe but you don’t want your screen looking too far away like on normal laptops , and think watching movies in bed , where it’s stable and the screen seems closer , the stage mode , + the tablet mode which I use when I m in the subway are very good to use . There isn’t a product like this out there .
Love the review. Thank you for publishing this, really helps for people who want a high-end (OP) device on the Windows side. I will say though, the comparisons to MBP is slightly unfair given that these are two completely different devices, one literally folds sporting 3 distinct form factors with a full multi-touch 120Hz touch screen, and the other is a completely traditional laptop design with the only thing seperating it from a typical laptop design is a notch that does not even support biometrics. I have the 16" MBP M1 Pro, whilst I think the hardware is second to none, I just cannot stand the Mac OS, if you don't own any other Apple device, the value/feature proposition is bleak. It lacks so many modern and basic tools/features, I struggle to find how the OS has evolved in the last 8 years or so.... This is why I am really seeking an appropriate Windows 11 alternative and the fact that MS make the hardware, this is the sole reason why I will only jump to a Surface device, one that packs a punch similar to the M2 Macs.
As a graphic artist who does A LOT of drawing, unfortunately it's my only choice. 1. The more powerful machines, you can't draw on as easily. 2. The machines that have the form factor are not as powerful. It fills the niche but it is WAY overpriced.
great device but only worth it for people that can take full advantage of the form factors and want a hardware upgrade over the original laptop studio. It is a niche device for people that work in design, 3d design, arquitects, engineers, etc and need the pen and multiple modes of the laptop. Its rigiculous to compare it to a mac that does not even offer touch support.
I’ve owned the SLS gen 1 since launch and still in love with it, it’s an amazing piece of kit that does everything you need and more I also utilised it with my dock and gaming monitor ,keyboard, mouse and all my gaming stuff and you CAN game on it I have the 2tb SSD 32GB ram 3050 one and play a verity of games on it so I probably will at some point upgrade to the 64gb ram 2tb SSD 4060 one
@@bharat5194 mate honestly it’s gleaming 0 issues so far the only problem I had with mine is somehow the bottom pads on the screen made scuff marks on the sides of the laptop that I can’t get out 🤷🏻♂️ but it’s still a wicked bit of kit.
The response time on the screen is so depressingly bad that It doesn't even really make sense to have a 120hz screen in most situations... It's the highest latency of any monitor and even TV I've ever owned, and it's very noticeable. You can even see the absolutely atrocious response time on that little clip of it rendering a game at 7:30 when you move the camera, everything goes blurry, and when the van goes by you see a huge trail behind it. It's ridiculous that it's so bad for this price, it blows my mind. I'm just trying to keep it pristine so I can return it bc of this PoS screen.
Another aspect to the screen is that the respone time is a lot worse than the SLS1. The old one had one around 18/20ms while the new one is going on almost 40ms which when gaming is not great
@kafaae That is sadly no option for me. My laptop needs to be my working, creativity and gaming machine for on the go. At home, I have a powerful pc (+monitors). This makes the SLS2 and laptops like the Asus ROG flow X16 so nice (and pricey). They can do it all. But at this price point they have to deliver. X16 has a rather poor battery life and not as good pen input, which is acceptable for me. It really depends on your preferences and needs.
Faster CPU, more powerful GPU, more RAM, better performance in every area from the original. So, yes, it's significantly better. Come on now, you know this. Geez!!!!!
At $3700 the Studio Laptop should have come with an I9 instead of that lower powered I7. I swear, Microsoft, always cut corners and then act like they don't understand why their products don't sale like they would like them too.
Been using the top tier SLS for the part 2 years and it's still going strong... It really is one of the best laptops for creatives. I want the 64gb ram and the faster gpu and microcard slot... But for just under 6k AUD for top tier model... It's kinda outrageous. I'm gonna stick the SLS for now and how it lasts a few more years. 😅
@@bharat5194 I barely use it... So very well. I personally find the angle a bit steep for drawing on when it's learning forward and tge magnet isn't that strong either and you lose keyboard shortcuts.
At first I couldn't understand why Microsoft didn't wait until apple M3 dropped but then I realized they would have lost money in marketing, development and sales revenue. Doing this before Xmass was a smart move when you think about it.
With these “studio” or creator laptops it would be better to start with the high level benchmarks and then dive more deeply into more use case based investigation based on what you see it doing well. For example, it seem like based on specs upgrade MS was targeting 3D design with this model, would have liked a deep dive into it for 3D designers (i.e. Blender, Maya, Substance workloads). Thanks for the great content!
I purchased a SLS2, Microsoft’s usb-a port is defectively engineered. My usb-a got stuck in the usb-a port and would not come out. I have used this usb-a stick on many other brand name laptops with no issues until the SLS2. For such a high price laptop, I am disappointed. I returned the unit back for a refund.
I'm goin to be returning mine too, the USB port also catches on things and the screen is the worst screen I've ever owned. It's even blurrier than my old TV with quick movement and trailing behind fast moving things. It's an absolute deal breaker for the price to have a damn blur trail behind your cursor or all the text when you're scrolling when your just browsing the web as if you were browsing on a TV from the early 2000's.
Dear Digital Trends , Sir you really need to warn about the Ghosting on the screen . its 42% worse than SLS1 . and SLS1 already was average . You cant game on this SLS2 and get the desired display effects .
actual wattage of the card (which makes or breaks the system) cooling abilities, serviceability - this is why people are confused because they compare paper specs, well also, that's what manufacturers want you to do anyway. but a real comparison of bang for the buck goes way beyond paper specs. does it throttle? just because you have i9 doesn't mean you get to use it... you know, things like those. in that sense, this review is as superficial as it gets. I'm sure it serves a purpose - but for an actual bang for the buck review look for other in-depth ones. can I use it at peak performance whilst connected on TB, for example? at what wattage does that make or break?
Great video. I had many of the same thoughts. And you have confirmed. Just so close. But I can't see myself buying this over any of the competition. As much as some of its features intrigue me it's just not a practical buy.
how are these so different from gaming laptops but with touch screen and special hinge, perhaps something like a workstation like the thinkpad p15 with touch screen would be more fitting
Noope. they messed up so i'll wait until the change it.. i'm a 30 years old construction project manager. hobbies are photography, running and anything related to tech. a device of my dream is touchscreen for my project drawings, highlighting architect plans or engineers are nice.. it has a thunderbolt 4 for transfer speed, i can use my 3D modeling software for years (DGPU is important and hungry!) and has a good screen for video editing and photography.. i get a laptop way to expensive for what it is, noisy, No SD card reader.. like micro SD seriously ??? With the thunderbolt sure, but the fact they charge me for this intel processor now when the new one is coming few weeks from now it's a shame.. the power consumption wouldn't let me work while i'm in the train in europe as example.. and i can only use that device in best performance setting then.. ughh sadness i LOOOVE surface as a brand they do amazing things but this year damn they dropped the ball.. i cannot justify that price tag for what it offers.. i would casually game on this thing if i could but judging by my surface Book 2 it's only good for like 1 year and then the system lacks power.. Microsoft can do better i know they can come on microsoft you got this
Something is off with your benchmark numbers. Windows Central got really good performance out of it and even beat some of the similarly spec laptops. Having said that, The Verge also mentioned that the performance wasn't that impressive. Not sure if it's drivers, configuration or what, but something is definetely off. Anyways, I really liked the review, pointing the flaws abut also its strong points in an unbiased and professional way. Well done!
@@Manuel-rl6um Hey! Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, power profiles have a huge impact on performance here. All the drivers and Windows updates were current at the time. Thanks for watching!
Bad review. The product position and the comparisons are completely wrong. The usage scenario, form factor advantages and the pen was not even covered here.
Thanks for the well-done review. Very annoying that MSFT consistently has generation behind CPUs in their premium-priced Surface lineup of computers. At least this one starts with a current-gen CPU; too bad it won't be current for long.
They should add a feature that goes into Android mode (or open android emulator i.e bluestacks exe) whenever in tablet mode and have a non magnetic option (with pogo pins on a angle (for better connection) unlike the connection between android tablet + keyboard cover

Thats because ipad got the artist community in a chokehold. Unless you draw everyday for the love of art. Your not going to find a great pen review.

is the thunderbolt port directly connected to the dgpu or the intel gpu
i want buy it
i would wait til its holiday sale or something when it drops a lot and then id buy it.
I just wish they'd make the screen corners perpendicular. The rounded corners are just horrible. No needs to it at all.

They were using Chrome. Might get more life out of a different browser, but all of our tests are done with Chrome for accurate comparisons.
