What Microsoft has done with the Surface Laptop Studio should inspire other manufacturers to go beyond the traditional clamshell laptops of the past and try something new. Still, I didn’t think I’d fall in love with the Surface Laptop Studio, as much as I did over my two-week review period. For what it's worth, I had chosen the former, and I’ve been quite happy with it. Was I to get a tried and tested Surface tablet - with a keyboard and pen sold separately - or buy a laptop with a hinge so unique that people around me would always stop to ask about it. When Microsoft announced the new Surface line-up - Surface Pro 8 and Surface Laptop Studio - I had a big dilemma on my hands. Simply put, you can put the screen in more positions than you’d ever think you’d be needing. This allows for the screen to rotate outward. The Acer ConceptD 7 Ezel back in 2021 was one of the first laptops with two hinges attached to the display. The clever design from Microsoft has perfected what others have tried in the past. The Surface Laptop Studio is special in many ways but most importantly it is unique. My Surface Pro 8 that I purchased from the USA in October was yearning for me not to fall in love with its big brother. Whilst not new, the Surface Laptop Studio from Microsoft popped by and I got to try it for about two weeks. It feels as though there is a new laptop on the market every other week.
