Microsoft calls theSurface Laptop Studiothe most powerful Surface device to date. That power convinced jasqid to order one. “I pre-ordered the i7 studio laptop. First time I ever [ordered] a device like this. I’ve [had] a pro 3, pro 7 i5 and it just wasn’t enough. Kept over heating. So I went with this beefier piece. Not looking forward to the extra weight and thickness but it will have to do.”
