A fresh take on our powerhouse laptop with the new Surface Laptop Studio.

With PixelSense displays, new pen technology, premium mics and cameras, powerful silicon and versatile form factors, the new Surface devices are designed to take Windows innovation to the next level. Today, on the threshold of Windows 11, we are revealing the largest update to the Surface portfolio in its history. And for the last decade, Surface has been at the forefront – challenging convention, pioneering new experiences and creating entirely new categories of devices. This idea was the catalyst for Surface – to build hardware that would not only be a stage for Windows but push the platform and the ecosystem forward.Įach new version of Windows unlocks the next generation of hardware innovation.

Throughout our history as Surface, we have seen that the most meaningful experiences come from innovation at the intersection of hardware and software. From the first mouse that unlocked point and click productivity to the 2-in-1 that brought touch displays, inking and a variety of modern capabilities, Windows and devices have together redefined what’s possible on a PC. As Windows reshaped computing experiences, new hardware products have helped more and more people interact with them.

This reportedly makes it easier for the paint to attach to black versions of the Pro 8, as the black paint scratched off relatively easily on the Pro 7.

The body is now made from shiny, slippery aluminum instead of matte magnesium alloy. One downside, however, is that the Pro 8 is noticeably thicker and heavier than older versions, including its closest ancestor, the Surface Pro X. In fact, the slimmer bezels allow for a larger screen, which, at 13 inches, is almost an inch bigger than the previous model, while keeping the device footprints almost identical. They're still pretty chunky at the top and bottom of the screen, but the latter at least is concealed when the keyboard is attached. Almost immediately, you can tell that the screen's edges are more rounded than previous iterations of the laptop, making it easier on the hand when you're holding it in tablet form. The design is the biggest change to the Surface Pro 8.
