![]() It shines when moving between home and office, room to room, not necessarily when spending half the time on the road, crossing borders in aeroplanes. You wouldn't want to carry it around all day, but its size and weight are similar to some of the trimmer gaming laptops. The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio weighs 1.8kg and is 19mm thick. While it's not intended as a straight-up portable laptop, it's not a beast, either. This style makes the Laptop Studio seem substantial. The casing is magnesium alloy, and the seam that separates the keyboard part from the base is hidden under the cooling lip so the whole thing seems like a single block of metal. This is a totally fresh design for Microsoft, but that charming Surface series character remains. Blocking them accidentally just isn't going to happen unless you do something strange. Instead, there are air grilles along each side, half-hidden in an indent. Its hinge area and underside have nothing to do with the airflow.

You can let the screen rest at other angles, including one better for stylus use. The one question: is that angle the one designers and artists actually want? The classic comfy angle sees the drawing surface raised about 15 degrees above the horizontal. We'll help out where we can with the brain work in this review. And with lesser colour coverage than the latest MacBook Pro models, and a hinge that may not actually lock at the angle you want, you should have a good think before buying. ![]() It costs a fair packet, after all - particularly for the models with dedicated GPUs. There's just a question of whether it offers too much for some of the potential audience and not enough for others. The Laptop Studio, at least on paper, then, is a corker of a laptop - one that can give even the Apple MacBook Pro a run for its money. And while that sounds silly, it means a lot in a hybrid. Made in part for creative types, like digital artists and designers who might otherwise use a Wacom graphics tablet or an iPad with Procreate, it also shows off some of Microsoft's greatest hinge work yet.
