![]() ![]() The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio concept lives and dies by the quality of its hinge. ![]() (Image credit: Andrew Williams/Digital Camera World) It’s one of the big issues for potential Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio buyers. As is the case in other Microsoft Surface lines, these upgrades can seem painfully expensive when stacked up against the raw cost of the components. ![]() While base models have a humble 256GB SSD and 16GB RAM, the highest-end specs have 32GB RAM and 2TB SSD storage. There’s no such cap on the RAM and storage, though. Microsoft has deliberately struck a balance between power and how pleasant the thing is to use each day. The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio is a performance machine, but sits a good few rungs below a high-end gaming laptop or workstation. At this level, power is not limited so much by the size of your power brick, more the laptop’s ability to shift heat generated by the internals. H-series chipsets are typically much better at sustained heavy workloads as a result. Video editing is very CPU intensive and also takes up a ton of storage space.These Intel processors differ from the kind used in the average slim and light laptop in the juice, the power, they are able to draw. The larger 15″ Surface Laptop 3, meanwhile, utilises an AMD chip for the first time on a Surface laptop. Microsoft says that the AMD-based Surface Edition of the Ryzen (5 or 7) will allow for users to perform more graphic-intensive work as compared to the smaller Surface Laptop, such as 3D-rendering, Photoshop, or video-editing. Memory configurations top out at 512GB of storage, which is paired to 32GB of RAM, and you’re looking at the same battery life estimate of 11.5 hours with typical usage. You also get the same ports as its smaller sibling: 1 x USB-C, 1 x USB-A, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a Surface Connect port. The 13.5-inch Surface Laptop 3 technically starts at 999 (£999, AU1,699). You get more limited colour choices for the larger Surface Laptop, with a darker shade of Platinum, and Matte Black available-although there isn’t an option with the Alcantara finish.Īs for local pricing, we don’t have any concrete numbers just yet, but the the 13.5″ Surface Laptop 3 starts at US$999 for 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage (Intel Core i5), while pricing for the larger 15″ Surface Laptop 3 starts at US$1,499 for 8GB of RAM mated to 256GB of storage (AMD Ryzen 5). ![]()
