HIGHLIGHTS

Surface Laptop Studio is a convertible with a Dynamic Woven Hinge that lets you use the display in Laptop Mode, Stage Mode, and Studio Mode.

It comes with a Surface Slim Pen 2 that can be tucked underneath the keyboard.

The internal hardware includes 11th Gen Intel Core H35 processors coupled with either Iris or Nvidia GeForce RTX GPUs.

Microsoft India has revealed the Surface Laptop Studio will be up for grabs starting March 8 in the country. It will be out for both regular consumers as well as commercial buyers. The laptop had originally debuted back in September 2021 and so its specifications are particularly news. You may know that it runs on the 11th Gen Intel Core H-series CPU and graphics option between Nvidia’s GeForce RTX and Intel Iris. However, what sets it apart from the crowd is its unique hinge-design. Thanks to what’s called a Dynamic Woven Hinge, the display can be maneuvered freely into three forms: as a regular clamshell laptop, as a tablet, and as an in-between choice of slightly extended-out screen. Microsoft chalks up different use cases for these three modes too. Let’s see what those are the other nitty-gritty stuff down below.

Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio Specs and Features

Surface Laptop Studio flaunts a 14.4-inch PixelSense Flow display with 2,400×1,600 pixels resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, a 3:2 aspect ratio, Dolby Vision support, and 10-point multi-touch support.

The display is connected to the base by a Dynamic Woven Hinge that lets you use the device in three ways:

In Laptop Mode, as a standard laptop with a full keyboard and a haptic touchpad.
In Stage Mode, you can pull the touchscreen display forward and angle in a way that suits your gaming, streaming, or presentation needs. In this form, the keyboard is covered and you can interact with touch, touchpad, or the Surface Slim Pen 2.
In Studio mode, you recess the laptop screen backwards and down to a tablet form with the back facing the keyboard beneath. This can be used for writing, sketching, and other creative works.

What’s powering all these screen activities is an Intel 11th Gen quad-core H35 processor (up to 11370H), coupled with up to 32GB LPDDR4x RAM and 2TB of SSD storage. The graphics with i5 models are Iris-Xe while the i7 SKUs get up to 4GB GDDR6 Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti.

Other attractions are Dolby Atmos-backed Quad Omnisonic speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, an FHD Webcam with Windows Hello, TPM, USB-C ports (USB 4.0/ Thunderbolt 4), Surface Connect port, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, and Windows 11 out of the box.
