The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 has an input of 127w (120w input + 7w USB A) using the standard (proprietary) cable - do NOT confuse this with the USB C ports; while these can charge the laptop, Microsoft chose to cheap out (unfortunately I am only finding this out years after purchase...) and did not opt for the USB C PD1 chip (140w), thus we are limited to a maximum of 100w charging, which results in a "slow charger" prompt. This does charge and keep up with most daily tasks, but if you use the laptop for anything extensive, it will still drain while charging - just at a slower rate. Ultimately, this will still buy you time and buffer your battery when not near an outlet to extend your school or work days, whether it be on the go on a bus, plane, car, at school or office, etc. - but the best option will be the standard charger, depending on your use case. These are my understanding, based on the research I have done overnight while deciding which battery to buy. Take it with a grain of salt, as my logic could be flawed. Hope this is helpful to someone.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, this power bank can charge the Surface Studio 2. The Studio 2 charges via USB-C Power Delivery (USB-PD). The Anker power bank supports USB-PD up to 140W on its primary USB-C port (USB-C1). Power Requirements: The Surface Studio 2's original charger is 127W. The Anker power bank delivers 140W via USB-C1 (when used alone), which exceeds the Studio 2's requirement. Crucially: Ensure you use only the USB-C1 port for the laptop. If both USB-C ports are used simultaneously, power drops to 65W each – insufficient for the Studio 2. Battery Capacity: Anker Capacity: 25,000mAh / 138.9Wh Surface Studio 2 Battery: 178Wh → The power bank can deliver ≈78% of a full charge to your laptop. This should significantly extend your usage time during class but won't provide a full recharge.
