ahead of their official release, you can already do so via various retailers. Here’s what you should know.

Where to preorder the Surface Laptop Studio 2

The new Surface Laptop Studio 2 looks similar to the prior model, with the same kind of 14.4-inch screen you can pull forward
or lay flat like a tablet. However, it sports a few changes under the hood. Microsoft says it’s twice as fast as its predecessor, with
new Intel 13th Gen i7 processors and Nvidia’s RTX 4050 and 4060 GPUs. It’s also the first Windows computer to come with the
Intel neural processing unit, which should allow for faster, more powerful AI capabilities.

Along with new chips and GPUs, Microsoft's premium convertible comes with two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, a microSD

16GB of RAM, an Intel 13th Gen processor, and Intel Iris Xe graphics (or with an Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU for $2,399 at Amazon

expected, the higher-end models will cost you north of $3,000. The laptop will be available on October 3rd.
