The Surface Studio also has a unique flexible hinge allowing it to be used as a drawing tablet, making it a versatile choice for creative professionals. Give Feedback

The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio has a better screen than the Jumper 16" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio boasts higher resolution and brighter display, providing crisp, vivid visuals that enhance everyday tasks, while the Jumper's screen, although adequate, doesn't match up in clarity or brightness.

Tom Brant | October 2021
"There’s no doubt that the Surface Laptop Studio is groundbreaking. We’ve come to expect such things from the Surface lineup, so it’s always nice to see a product that exceeds our expectations. The pull-forward laptop-screen concept has been tried before, but never in a device that’s so stylish and packed with innovative features like a haptic touchpad and robust digital stylus support."
