Microsoft’s Surface Studio 2+ represents the rebirth of the iconic, huge computer all in one the company. In this case, the model features an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 inside, along with an 11th Gen Core chip.
Beyond that, not much has changed from its predecessor. The focal point of the Surface Studio 2+ remains its massive 28-inch (4500×3000) touchscreen, which stands out by rising from its small base on a “zero gravity” hinge.
However, enthusiasts drawn to it may be disappointed, firstly, because there is still no standalone Studio monitor, and secondly, it still uses moving components.
So what has changed?
When will the Microsoft Surface Studio 2+ go on sale?
The Microsoft Surface Studio 2+ was presented at the event of Material that Microsoft celebrates every year, this year on October 12, 2022. From that day on, you can already reserve your model, although the official launch date is November 1, 2022.
These are dates for Spanish buyers, but it is unknown when and if it will arrive in Latin America.
How much will Microsoft Surface Studio 2+ cost?
We already know the price of the Surface Studio 2+ in Europe. There’s only one configuration, with an 11th Gen Intel Core H35 i7, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage. Its price is 5.369 $.
To this you will have to add 69$ or 99$ if you want to use Microsoft 365 Personal or Family with your computer. You can also purchase the Microsoft Complete Protection Plan for $159 or $229.
What are the specs of the Microsoft Surface Studio 2+?
With the new Surface Studio 2+, Microsoft has made the leap to a semi-modern mobile Core processor, although the 11th Gen Core (as opposed to the modern 12th Gen Alder Lake chip) is a bit of a surprise. Nvidia’s RTX 3060 GPU, however, makes more sense.
Overall, it can be said that the Surface Studio 2+ is a small step up from the Surface Laptop Studio that Microsoft introduced in 2021, and it also stood out with its exclusive outward-opening screen. before.
Some of the improvements in Surface Studio 2+ are consistent with other Surface devices from Microsoft. For example, while there’s no sign of a standalone Surface Studio display, the inclusion of Thunderbolt 4 means you’ll be able to add three additional displays (up to 3840×2160).
However, Microsoft’s Surface Studio 2+ does not include a 120Hz capable display, which is perhaps an odd move as Microsoft originally intended 120Hz to smooth and improve the digital inking experience.
The Surface Studio 2+ will also be much easier to manage, as virtually everything from the screen, to the power supply, to the thermal components, to the logic board and the hinge cover, can be replaced by a reseller. approved commercial devices.
