Speaking of internals, the laptop is powered by Intel's 11th generation Core i5 and Core i7 H35 processors. And unlike the Surface Book lineup, which is notorious for glitching when trying to remove the detachable tablet portion, the Surface Laptop Studio houses all of the essential internals inside the base. Interestingly, Microsoft designed the base in a way that allows you to tuck a new Surface Slim Pen 2 underneath it for charging. Leaving aside the obvious fact that this looks like Microsoft copying Apple's Force Touch trackpad, it's good to see that it at least didn't choose to copy the infamous butterfly keyboard.

The base of the laptop has the same quiet keyboard that Microsoft has been touting for years, but below it there's a new Haptic TouchPad that allows you to 'click' anywhere on its surface. The three supported modes are laptop, stage, and studio, which makes it ideal for developers, designers, and everyone looking to create on a device that can act as a portable workstation. Microsoft calls this the 'Dynamic Woven Hinge,' and it essentially allows you to transition between modes just like you would on a Surface Studio, with magnets to guide you to the snap points. Look more closely, and this seemingly normal-looking display actually has a mechanism that allows you to pull it towards you and flip it to turn the Laptop Studio into a giant tablet. And just like Windows 11, it has rounded corners. At first glance, this looks like a redesigned Surface Laptop sporting a non-removable 14.4-inch PixelSense Flow touchscreen display with a resolution of 2,400 x 1,600 pixels, support for Dolby Vision and up to a 120Hz refresh rate. The company even used the 'Pure Imagination' song once again to send the same vibes as it did during the unveiling of the Surface Studio.

However, this is being marketed as a successor to the Surface Book lineup, with fewer quirks and slightly more practical design choices. In a sense, this feels like the true Surface Laptop that Microsoft originally envisioned, but just needed more time to get it right. Microsoft today unveiled the Surface Laptop Studio, the rumored crossover between the company's Surface Laptop and the Surface Studio. The result is a chunky laptop powerhouse with a display that can slide into different positions and look great while doing it. Microsoft blended design concepts from the Surface Laptop, the Surface Studio, and even Apple's MacBook to create this device. In brief: The successor to the Surface Book is here, but it's probably not what you expected.
