Its versatile 14.4" touch screen makes it easy to switch between laptop, tablet, and studio modes, catering perfectly to my productivity and design needs. I love how fluid and quick it is to transition between different tasks, thanks to the responsive touch display and the powerful Intel Core i7 processor. The GeForce RTX 4050 also delivers impressive performance for graphics-heavy tasks.

I've never owned a Surface device before. I do all my work on a 14" Macbook Pro and I game on a cheap gaming laptop, but I really wanted one single device that could do it all. This device fulfilled all of my requirements. I finally found a Windows device that's as good as my Macbook. Here are some pros, cons, and general observations based on my limited testing. Pros: Good screen; color accurate and bright Battery life 4050 dedicated graphics provides serious horsepower for creative professionals and gamers 120 Hz display Keyboard is a joy to use Trackpad is the best on any Windows device, and it uses haptics like a force-touch trackpad so you can click anywhere and palm rejection is excellent Great speakers for a Windows device. Very flat EQ. Decent bass response and doesn't bleed. Good volume. 2-in-1 feature is well implemented Cons: Stylus doesn't come with the device, which I only found out after I opened it Chunky and heavy Bezels are a little thick for 2023 on a device this premium For the price of this device, I would've liked a miniLED display. It's good, but not as good as my 14" MBP. Polling rate of trackpad; you can see the cursor skip around a bit at 120 Hz Screen glare Compared to the unit on display at the store, the haptics "rattle" a little bit. It's not necessarily bad, but I wouldn't expect any unit variance for this premium of a device. General observations: The color of the device is very close to the "Starlight" Macbook Air color. It's an off-silver with a hint of gold I wish the contrast between the keyboard and chassis was greater. An all-black keyboard would look incredible. More ports compared to Studio 1. Micro SD card and USB-A were added. There is an ambient light sensor which makes the screen colder or warmer depending on your environment. In my picture, you can see the difference between the Surface with the feature turned on and my MBP with the feature turned off.
