There're tech RUclipsr's with twice the budget producing reviews in half the time as Lisa. Yet whenever a new piece of tech comes out, whose review are we all most excited to see? Lisa Gade's, that's whose. And this review just reminded me why.
Honestly this channel has some of the best reviews you can find on RUclips. So down to earth and actually talks about features I want to know about and shows the actual product. Keep it up!!
Consistent - straight, true and comprehensive - yet always respectful of the work the manufacturers do. Your reviews are a great contribution to our work and careers.
This Surface Laptop Studio reminds me of the old SONY VAIO Flip 13/15 laptops from back in the day that I bought after watching your reviews of the thing! (And the smackdown of between the Duo and Flip) It really makes the Flip 15 feel so far ahead of its time.
Vaio Flip is actually the one they took the design from only difference is that one just could only be flipped into tablet mode, great video tech reviewers like you deserve way more subscribers
Lisa, thanks for all the years of directing me to the right product I need without all the fluff and bias. I always enjoy checking out which fun tshirt you model from time to time. Are you going to review the surface pro 8? I am really struggling because I have a surface 7 that I didn't get a big enough drive for, but otherwise I like for 90% of what I do. It will not effectively run poser though. I'm wondering if a pro 8 with an external gpu is what I need or just bite the bullet and go to the larger studio.
Had a Vaio Multiflip back in the day, basically the prototypical of all the same hinge design following it, it was a fine device, had a screen replacement once and then the motherboard died on me on 2020. So I move on to an UMPC. The ribbon cable that connects the screen with the keyboard is the weakness of the Vaio, it was exposed and sorta deteriorated with time. Even tho it doesn't get touched or anything the hundreds of flipping it went through I think is what does it in. For the flip, I'd say the screen had 3 1/2 years of life in it with daily use (as the screen ribbon is also what gotdone in alongside the mobo for me) so I'd be interested on how these newer devices with the same design fares with time.
Update on this design I hope is for them to have the exact same hinge as Surface Pro's as that mechanism is really not that big right? Probably they do need to change hhe design to allow ribbon cable to pas through between it, but if it can have independent, sturdyhinge that can be prop up in any way you like like Surface Studio's, it'd sure be a nice point for anyone concerned about durability.
I like the design, it's easier to go from Laptop mode to Tablet Mode than the Surf Book 1 2 3. Disappointed in the Port Selection. Would have liked to see 1 USB A Port, 1TB4 Port & 1 Full SD Card Slot . Great Review Lisa, I like how you Say the Pros & Cons of what you Review. Your Objectiveness is a key part of your Review.
There was very very minimal B roll demonstrating the hinge and it’s various modes. We got B roll showing off the trackpad for several seconds but nothing was shown in terms of transforming the laptop. What gives??
Yes, I waited for the demo the whole video, nothing came... very unusual from Lisa. Oh well. Doesn't matter anyway, I still love her reviews and will stay subscribed to her channel until the end of RUclips.
Agreed! When Lisa was talking about it, lots of hand gestures, but no actual video shots. Also in the constructive criticism department, weight is a key specification for a laptop and should appear on the opening “Specifications” screen and not buried 5 minutes later….
As someone who learned the hard way (at the start of work from home) that it is possible to slow cook your thigh over several days, I appreciate that the cooling solution gets a pass! I'll keep that in mind for after I win the lotto!
I have this concern too but for viewing the tent mode looks good and for art I can always get a raked lap tray, which will improve ventilation. It's tempting
I like this style of screen. I've always been a fan of those older Lenovo, Toshiba, and Fujitsu style tablets with swivel screen because it protects the keyboard, and doesnt block ventilation in the back. I think this is a logical progression to this style of tablet as this SHOULD be more durable than a single point swivel-hinge
This laptop is turning out amazing for a programmer/casual user like me after a week of use: 1. 3:2 ratio is a godsend. 16:9 ratio laptos should not be a thing anymore unless all you do is play games and watch movies. 2. I play a few games which this laptop is handling really well. 3. The keyboard, touchpad and speakers are amazing! 4. This does not get loud at all which I love. 5. It gets slightly warm on heavy load but isnt a problem for me. 6. I really love that I can use it at 120hz and it doesnt kill battery as much as i expected. Its on par with 60hz for my usage. 7. The laptop feels premium with its finish. One of the best looking laptops. Negatives: 1. The screen is nice to use but you have to deal with reflection. 2. Its a little on the heavier side 3. I wish it had a USB A. Whatevers: The screen tilt. Its there is you wanna use it. I dont so I dont care about the hinge or modes or whatever but I like the option of having it. Also, get to learn the features of Windows 11, its pretty cool.
As a owner of this device, I have been really disappointed with most of the reviews I've seen online. Thank you for delivering a balanced and reasonable critique on a great product - at least for me. :)
Nice review, thanks! I have a Surface Book 2 15" which I love. Don't need to upgrade yet, but I love this new direction and really loved the feel of it when I tried it out at Best Buy. I like the way you described the power of this computer -- not at the level of a desktop or gaming laptop, but better than a standard computer. That's exactly where I need to be. I need portability for performing (so, no desktop) and need a computer that runs quietly for working with music (so, no gaming laptop). It hits the sweetspot for me -- thanks for an excellent, detailed and nuanced review.
It really does have wide appeal, I like art, but do a bunch of gaming, and compared to my current mid range desktop, it's quite an improvement overall, more than enough for my own needs, and amazingly portable.
Interesting, I'm on an SB2 and I'm really excited about making this my next Surface. I've loved the SB line, I bought all of them except the 3. I actually had planned to get the 3 this fall and then I saw this beautiful laptop! I'm gonna get it and I think it'll be a good 3 year laptop
As a former SB user who was looking forward to buying SB4, I am honestly disappointed as well in the Laptop Studio hence now considering other options. Compared to the SB15 you get = less GPU power, less VRAM, less battery, same CPU power, smaller screen, lower resolution, no ports, worse keyboard ergonomics, only 2 hinge angles, and a more limited use case that can't become a tablet. *So now you're paying exactly **_same_** price for a **_massive downgrade._* Idk, this just feels like a rip-off to me.
Fantastic review as always lisa, you never disappoint. You are probably the only tech reviewer on youtube that actually gets the purpose of a device. Well done Indeed. I really wish I didn't have to wait until next year to get it since I don´t live in the US or Canada.
Impressive review. Are You still using it? What is Your opinion of this formidable device today? Did the software updates over time made de experience even better? Would the difference between the software state of Surface Studio Laptop at the time of this review and today be worth a second review of the Surface Laptop Studio? What changes would you love to see in version 2?
Awesome review! I do think review should do some comparison so that people know better about the overall feeling of this product and it also makes more sense as we are choosing one product among a few models. Great Job!
Thanks for the review! The pen has me interested if they got rid of the jitter. Yes, it would help if it had more "fixed" angles, especially since some people draw at shallower angles than the 45 degrees they provide.
Hi Lisa. Excellent review. By the way, it's not fair that you compare this to the Zephyrus. You should compare this Surface to the ROG Flow X13, which also has the touchscreen.
I know it has not quite been a year since the release of the Surface Laptop Studio, but when will Microsoft upgrade it to the 12th Gen Intel i7 or i9 processor? It seems that virtually every other computer manufacturer has some model of laptop using the 12th Gen, but Intel? Zero / Nada / Zip. None of their current lineup of laptops come with 12th Gen.
is it good to run AutoCAD and Lumion for architects? am planning to get Zepharus G15 or M16 with 3060graphic card. but this has a nice look to it. and is RAM upgradable?
If you need raw power just get a desktop. You'll be able to use lumion/enscape quite well. I find enscape is quite forgiving with lower spec graphics cards (I have a Dell 9575 which is a 2in1). The usefulness of a convertible comes down to how good it is with quick note taking and doing drawings etc. If this isn't something that is part of your workflow (i.e you prefer hand sketching) just get the gaming laptop.
Lisa hang on in there with your Dequervain's tenosynovitis. Mine took 6 months. getting there. We don't get offered the operation here in the UK straight away. that splint really does help.
Been 4.5 months. I gave in and got a cortisone shot a few weeks back. It's helped somewhat, hoping the follow up shot will get it a little closer to normal. Man, I really did a number on my wrist!
Wearing the splint more or less 24/7 , and do not assume that reduction in pain means it’s back to normal , I’ve been told 6-8 weeks post reduction in pain to actually recover . It keeps flairing up if you start using it normally when pain redices. Mine has flared up again but still not at bad as it use to be. Physio massage helped too. Dr physio( Korean guy who is a physio in Australia ) on RUclips has excercises that helped me! Not even my own physios exercises helpless as as much.
Great overview thanks. Can you confirm if that trackpad is Sensel? I heard it was completely built in-house by Microsoft themselves without Sensel technology
@@duncanwallace7760 the cpu is actually better in the Surface Studio, but the gpu is on par and the book 3 and has better higher screen/digitizer resolution (which I like as an artist, as gives me more precision) . Mind you the SB2 is almost as good as the 3 too.
Would you recommend this laptop for a college student? I currently have a MacBook Pro that was purchased back in 2015, and I've been wanting a tablet so that I can have a more convenient way f studying that doesn't require me to press anything. I like the idea of it being a tablet as well.
Great review, as always, Lisa. Regarding the tent mode - my main use for that would be when I have it docked and am using with external monitor and peripherals. I use the Surface Pro Now and am always pulling the keyboard off when I dock because I like the screen closer to me as it is smaller and I want it close for touching and I dont' want the keyboard in the way. Maybe not what MS intended but I think that is the best use of tent mode. I don't think it tilts back far enough in tent mode to use a pen on it well. The Surface Pro is best for tilting back to whatever level is convenient.
I'm happy that the SSD is upgradeable. Is the WIFI card still not replaceable (one of the biggest issues with the surface, when they get old is wifi cards dying)? For that matter, is anything else user upgradeable?
Just got SLS today. Bought from Costco. It came in sealed box and everything looked brand new. Went to turn on and it had to install Windows 11 first before I could set it up. I thought that was a little weird. As I was exploring the computer I tried the WhiteBoard app and when I opened it there were 2 files already there, one from 5/31/2022 and one from 12/6/2019. I'm beginning to think this is not a "brand new" laptop. Any thoughts?
Great review thanks Lisa. I may have missed this in the review, but does the pen charge against the base of the laptop when magnetically connected? Love so much about this laptop, esp the fact that it can easily be used ON your lap without blocking any vents. An ACTUAL laptop, yay! If you feel so inclined, I would love to see a showdown between the HP spectre x360 14 and this machine. They have so much in common. Thanks!

If you're thinking lmg then i would say Anthony would be similar.
for me aswell. i always trust Lisa's reviews. She has the right amount of criticism while staying polite to the manufacturers.
Absolutely, if Lisa's reviewed it, then I've got a go to review to watch first.
"Flippy-floppy"... I wish you'd stop bamboozling us with technical jargon Lisa... Great review, as always!
You're the ONLY reviewer who acknowledges that this design IS NOT new. Thank you for this.
Honestly this channel has some of the best reviews you can find on RUclips. So down to earth and actually talks about features I want to know about and shows the actual product. Keep it up!!
When she brought up the vaio flip I was like “finally someone remembers that device” haha what a veteran 😄
Me too. Because I watched it on this channel just six months ago, looking for a second hand premium laptop
Stop got my Vaio Z Flip from 5 years back when it just came out! Still works and is cool. It’s design got jacked twice, this far.
I wanted that laptop badly when I was a kid 😅
I'm happy the design idea now lives on with the new surface.
yes
Omg same. I was so irritated reading other tech blogs reviewing this laptop and not bringing up the Vaio Flip as the main design inspiration.
Consistent - straight, true and comprehensive - yet always respectful of the work the manufacturers do. Your reviews are a great contribution to our work and careers.
After watching this review, I feel like the other reviewers for this same device were like trying to hammer a nail with a screwdriver. So, thank you.
Been watching your reviews for 10 years! Good stuff!

Vaio Flip is actually the one they took the design from only difference is that one just could only be flipped into tablet mode, great video tech reviewers like you deserve way more subscribers
I ordered one that lands Tuesday…very excited. Great review here as usual Lisa. I think they nailed this one
How's it working out?
You got my respect once more when you mentioned the VAIO laptop formfactor. RIP Sony!

this is a better approach to a hybrid design than the old surface book
Battery life is GREAT.
I get 15 hours of RUclips viewing at 60 hz and 50% brightness.
I wish RUclipsrs would report standaredized battery tests.
Been a bit since I watched one of your videos. Great to see that you are still the best in the biz. Thanks for the great content.
It looks so sleek. Lord have mercy. You drew that? Dang, awesome skills.
You’re close to 1 million!!! Go Lisa :)!!! Been watching you for over 5 years now!
This is, by far, the most descriptive and informative review I've seen. Thanks so much.
I like the design, it's easier to go from Laptop mode to Tablet Mode than the Surf Book 1 2 3. Disappointed in the Port Selection. Would have liked to see 1 USB A Port, 1TB4 Port & 1 Full SD Card Slot . Great Review Lisa, I like how you Say the Pros & Cons of what you Review. Your Objectiveness is a key part of your Review.
nah lets be done with USB A but a micro sd slot would be nice.
I want a SD card slot but we need to get rid of the USB type A by now.
@@mini9503 meh if they include a HDMI to USB C/thunderport 4 dongle or even better HDMI to Thunderport 4 would be better

Great review. I too tried to make the SB2 my only machine years ago. Going to give it another go with the Laptop Studio. So far very happy with it.
Same...I had every SB model and they were just too darn quirky compared to the Laptop Studio...loving mine so far.

@Denis Nah. you can keep the function key on (like caps lock) when you are coding (its a nice feature on SLS). It doesnt need to be a combination.

Why is no one talking about this machine bring up the Vaio Z-Flip? It's literally the exact same hinge.

The Surface Pro is best for tilting back to whatever level is convenient.
Is that leather case for the studio and where can I get that
looking at getting this for my BF and think we are sold. great video thank you!!
My kidney was starting to get nervous when I was looking at the price for the 2TB model.
I'm happy that the SSD is upgradeable. Is the WIFI card still not replaceable (one of the biggest issues with the surface, when they get old is wifi cards dying)? For that matter, is anything else user upgradeable?
RAM and WiFi are soldered. Fortunately it's a good Intel WiFi card this time and I don't expect it to fail.
Which one would you buy between the the msi creator z16 or the surface laptop studio with graphics card each have their pros and cons.
This is an excellent review. Thank you Lisa!

I'm definitely missing the Surface Book detachability as no one else copied that idea. This is basically Microsoft's HP Spectre Folio.
Always a delight to watch and learn.
Sony Vaio did it first. Then the Vaio Z Flip from 6 years ago that I still have looks like this.
Z Flip here, too -- so great! But battery's gone...any advice on replacing it?
@@elaeva5227 buy on ebay and replace it.
And HP did it better. This form factor is best suited for an ultra book.

@@elaeva5227 did u replace it? How it go?
How does this new Surface compares with the Acer Swift 316 since they both use the same chipsets
The flippy floppy might be a dealy killy for me. That and the fact that you have to hold the base to lift the screen.
Hold the base to lift the screen?
Please review the surface go 3
Can you already get it or just preorder?
Just got SLS today. Bought from Costco. It came in sealed box and everything looked brand new. Went to turn on and it had to install Windows 11 first before I could set it up. I thought that was a little weird. As I was exploring the computer I tried the WhiteBoard app and when I opened it there were 2 files already there, one from 5/31/2022 and one from 12/6/2019. I'm beginning to think this is not a "brand new" laptop. Any thoughts?
I see no one mentioned nor realized but this is probably the first Windows PC that has rounded corner display.
The Surface Laptop Go from last year already had a rounded corners display.
@@TitusRex -No, even the latest 3rd gen is still the usual rectangle, not rounded.-
Edit : oops my bad, you're right. I stand corrected.
Great review as always Lisa.
Thanks for another thoughtful and helpful review!
Laptop studio and pen are on sale rn on the Microsoft website
Great review thanks Lisa. I may have missed this in the review, but does the pen charge against the base of the laptop when magnetically connected? Love so much about this laptop, esp the fact that it can easily be used ON your lap without blocking any vents. An ACTUAL laptop, yay!
If you feel so inclined, I would love to see a showdown between the HP spectre x360 14 and this machine. They have so much in common. Thanks!
