Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 with Intel i7, 1TB SSD, 32GB RAM, 14.4-inch touchscreen
This Surface Laptop Studio 2 comes with Intel Core i7-13700KF, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD storage, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card. (You can also buy a model with a more powerful NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada graphics card for $700.) The 14.4-inch IPS touchscreen has a native resolution of 2400 x 1600 and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. What's special about this laptop is the ability to move the screen forward above the keyboard, providing an alternative to the usual tablet design, and it can do that too (hence the "three-in-one" name). This mode is great for watching movies or playing video games, which this laptop handles well.
PCMag gave this laptop an "Excellent" rating for its great performance, premium screen, and versatility, but it does have a few issues: Color in Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 color spaces Coverage is "okay", which may be an issue for designers and artists looking for the best color options. Another issue reviewers have is the short battery life. Although it has a claimed battery life of up to 18 hours, PCMag puts it at 15 hours, and other reviewers have found much less over time.
