As far as I'm concerned, it does the job! I use it for work and it's still going strong after more than a year of use.
On the rare occasions when I use it as a laptop, the keyboard feels great.
I recommend this video to give you a better idea

I would buy the Microsoft power supply 1932. 127 watts and according to Microsoft compatible with Surface Laptop Studio. Maybe Digitec can order it, otherwise it's available at Microspot.

To connect screens with HDMI directly to the device, you need a USB Type-C to HDMI adapter, e.g. Verbatim USB Type-C to (HDMI, 5.50 cm).
For the docks, it depends on whether you're using a newer or an older one. For the new one you need the same adapters as above (USB-C to HDMI), for the older one the adapters Mini Display Port to HDMI, e.g. Lanberg Mini DP to (HDMI, 20 cm)
Difficult to say, because you would have to own both devices to be able to make a comparison. However, the laptop you mentioned does not have a Swiss keyboard, but a German one. Whether an increase in performance is noticeable depends on the intended use. I don't think anything is noticeable for office applications.
1. stability is very good in the three predefined screen positions. It is not given in between.
2. the device gets warm because the housing has to dissipate the heat. This is absolutely uncritical.
yes it works fine - we also have a Thinkpad (Lenovo) docking station at work and the functionality (screens, Ethernet, etc) is flawless and fast. I also think you can forget about the overpriced MS docking station.
I can't tell you whether it is sufficient for your software. From my experience, the laptop is very powerful. I use it mainly for business and work with Adobe's Creative Suite. I don't notice any drop in performance, even when I have several applications like Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign open. The laptop runs quietly, the fan rarely starts up audibly. But even then it is barely audible. I can only recommend the device.
The Intel i7-11370H processor supports a maximum of 4 screens, whereby the built-in screen counts as 1 screen. According to information from Microsoft, 2 x 4K screens can also be connected. The text is available for the model at Microsoft:
With the support of Thunderbolt™ 4 technology, you get the ultimate configuration. With the help of the docking station, you can expand the view to two 4K monitors and other accessories.
All Surface Laptop Studio come with Windows 10/11 Pro, according to the manufacturer. No idea what Digitec has tried to do here again.

Hello all
Unfortunately I have lost track of all the laptops that are out there.
I need a laptop for video editing, but mainly for normal office work and making zoom calls when travelling. Therefore it should also be robust.
I already had a Surface Boox where I really liked the keyboard for typing, is this typing experience still similar?
Is there another laptop, apart from Apple, that also has a similar typing feel and better performance, so that I don't have to worry about a new device for the next few years? or is the performance still sufficient for the next few years, even if the components are a bit older?
Or should I hold out a little longer and wait for the next version of the SLS?
Many thanks!
Hello all
My daughter is starting training as a structural draughtswoman and needs a laptop for school. The minimum requirement according to the school is the following:
- Notebook if possible with touch screen and pen
-at least 15 inches
-at least 16 GB memory 32GB recommended
-at least i7 if possible i9
-Windows 10
-NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2xxx series or higher 4 GB RAM or equivalent Nvidia quadro card
-WLAN/USB/HDMI or Micro HDMI (here I think it would work with an adapter)
I found this model as almost the only one with touchscreen and stylus.
Are there any other models that would be suitable for structural draughtsmen or is this device good enough?
Thanks for your inputs
It would be better to choose a notebook with an AMD Ryzen 6000 CPU, for several reasons, faster than Intel and get less hot. This means the fans in the case run less frequently and for a long time and the battery lasts much longer. Intel Gen 11, 12 CPUs get hot very quickly and then the fans start running, which is also not always desirable.
WLAN is always built into the notebooks, there is no need for adapters. One of the best current models with touchscreen and stylus is the Lenovo Yoga 7 Gen 7 series, which is also available with 32 GB RAM and a very fast AMD Ryzen 6800U CPU, and can be configured directly at Lenovo.
With 15.6 inches, you're carrying a lot of weight around with you, which isn't ideal for school and taking everywhere, so I'd go for the 14-inch model and then combine it at home with a 32-inch 4K UHD screen that has 3840 x 2160 pixels, so you can work in high resolution.
I don't know if you really need an Nvidia Geforce solution, but the integrated GPU in the AMD Ryzen 6800U is already very powerful, and I think it has a lot to offer for CAD because it can refresh quickly in games.
With Intel i7 and i9, you can't rely on these CPUs being really good and fast, because it also depends on the wattage with which they are designed and operated, which then also influences how loud the fans get and how long the battery lasts, it doesn't always have to be Intel.
The noise emissions of the Surface Laptop Studio are very good.
During everyday work (office, browser, light multitasking), you can hear the fans at all - or almost not at all. Even during certain performance tasks (e.g. video and image editing), they remain quiet for a long time or are very pleasant to work with. --> https://youtu.be/2Wwbo731jOQ?t=375 Here, we even play with it and the fans are barely audible.
I can absolutely recommend the device if you are prepared to trade a little performance for the great workmanship, flexible usage options and silent (office) working, so to speak.
Best regards.
