![]() ![]() Microsoft only released two generations of it, the last one in 2018. I really liked that the big touchscreen display tilted down like a drafting table. The Surface Studio was a big all-in-one desktop, similar to the iMac. It's been replaced by the newer Surface Studio Laptop, which has a pivoting screen rather than one that fully detaches. It's an interesting device, with something for games and content creators, but the last version came out in 2020. The Surface Book was also a 2-in-1, but it has a GPU and a second battery in its keyboard. It's great if you want a Windows machine with a MacBook-like feel, and I like that it's on sale fairly regularly - you can score a good deal on it if you wait for the right opportunity.Ī few of the Surface products are more unconventional, but some have not been updated in a long time. The Surface Laptop (available in 13-inch and 15-inch versions) is also about a year old. ![]() I like this laptop a lot it's nicer looking than its $600 price suggests. The Go is a nice, small budget laptop, last updated in June 2022. The Surface Laptop Go is the most refreshed Surface. I like it, but it starts at $400, and you have to buy the keyboard separately, which is at least another hundred bucks. There's a cheaper version, called the Surface Go, that's also about a year old. The Surface Pro 8 came out in in 2021, so it's due for an update. What's going to be new in it? Probably 12th-gen Intel chips, and maybe an ARM version as well – there's an ARM variant called the Surface Pro X, which hasn't been updated in a while. If there's a new Surface Pro, it'll probably be called the Surface Pro 9. It's fine, but doesn't feel as modern or streamlined as it could be. And, the overall design really hasn't changed much in many years. The two big drawbacks for the Surface Pro are that the keyboard cover – which is really the best part of the ecosystem - is sold separately, and it's expensive – an extra $130 or more. It's probably the best overall example of this kind of 2-in-1 laptop-like device, but not much new has happened with it in the Windows 11 era. The flagship is the Surface Pro, a Windows tablet paired with an excellent clip-on keyboard cover. ![]()
