The most powerful Microsoft Surface laptop is finally coming to Malaysia. Announced back in September 2021, the Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio is meant to be a beast of a thing that can keep content creators churning contents out like champs. It is also Microsoft’s first notebook that features an ezel-style (Dynamic Woven Hinge) hinge to turn it into a studio powerhouse. Of course, it is a touch sensitive display too. With a stylus, it is made to be the ultimate tool in a creative environment.
A studio powerhouse is meant to be powerful, so Microsoft fitted this laptop with a powerful H35 series 11th Generation Intel Core processor (up to Core i7-11370H). Of course, a studio notebook is not complete without a powerful GPU to ensure that it can handle multiple displays and whatever software you can think of throwing at it. For that, the Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio features up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti.
In Malaysia, you can spec your Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio with up to 32GB of RAM and up to 1TB of SSD storage. Unfortunately, you can only get those specs in Harvey Norman. If not, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD should be more than enough for today’s studio standards. For anything more in terms of storage, you might want to think about getting external back up drives.
The 14.4-inch display is an impressive one. The touch sensitive display refreshes at up to 120Hz. When you get some inspiration, the Surface Slim Pen 2 stylus is conveniently tucked away underneath the keyboard. To get some inspiration or some entertainment, you get a Dolby Atmos certified Quad Omnisonic speakers.
The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio is now available for pre-order from authorised retailers across the nation. As mentioned, this includes Harvey Norman toon. It starts at MYR 7,399 for an Intel Core i5, Intel Iris Xe Graphics variant that also comes with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage. It tops out at MYR 9,399 for an Intel Core i7 variant that comes with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD. The Harvey Norman exclusive will retail for MYR 11,999. While it comes with 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD storage, it only packs the power of an Intel Core i5 and Intel Iris Xe Graphics. Of course, all of them comes with Windows 11.
