Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Studio 2 is $400 off at Amazon
There’s a lot to like about Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Studio 2, which is a highly versatile system. However, the normally high price was one of our major complaints about the system when we reviewed it last October. That sticker shock is slightly less of a concern now, as the laptop is on sale at Amazon. The price has dropped by $400 to $2,399. That’s a new record low for a configuration that includes 32GB of RAM, a 13th-gen Intel i7 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 GPU.
Those specs make the laptop more than capable of handling everyday tasks, while the 1TB of included storage should be enough for most folks’ needs. You should be able to run most current games on this computer too.
Microsoft says the Surface Laptop 2 will run for up to 18 hours on a single charge, which is respectable. The system has a 14.4-inch touchscreen with true-to-life color and a 120Hz refresh rate. There’s Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support too. As for connectivity, you’ll get two USB-C 4.0 ports with Thunderbolt 4, a USB-A port, a microSD card reader and Surface Connect for docking and charging.
