The Surface Laptop Studio 2 seriously ups the performance -- on paper. That makes it a stronger competitor to the excellent Dell XPS 15, at least in theory.
Microsoft’s premier 2-in-1 laptop, the Surface Laptop Studio, just got refreshed, and it has had its performance quotient upped significantly. We compared the first generation to the Dell XPS 13 based on size, but the Surface Laptop Studio 2 deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as much faster machines.
Related The Surface Laptop Studio 2 starts out at a higher price: $2,000 for a Core i7-13700H, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and a 14.4-inch PixelSense IPS display. The most expensive configuration is $3,700 for a Core i7-13700H, 64GB of RAM, a 2TB SSD, and an RTX 4060 GPU. Microsoft’s machine is also a lot more modern in its design. While it maintains the same look as the previous generation, that aesthetic seems more futuristic than the XPS 15’s, which also hasn’t changed for a few generations. The XPS 15 is an attractive laptop, no doubt, with its silver aluminum base and black carbon fiber keyboard deck, but the Surface Laptop Studio’s all-aluminum chassis and innovative display design give it a more futuristic feel.
Another win for the Surface Laptop Studio 2 is in its 1080p webcam. The XPS 15 is stuck with a 720p version, and while we haven’t tested Microsoft’s webcam, we’re certain it will provide a superior image. Most likely, these two laptops will provide similar performance, but we need to wait to test the Surface Laptop Studio 2 ourselves.
Portability The Surface Laptop Studio 2 is narrower than the XPS 15, but it’s just as deep, thicker, and heavier. That’s because of the pull-forward display, which increases complexity and pushes out the palm rest. Neither is a particularly portable laptop.
