The Surface Laptop Studio 2’s system upgrades are massive compared to the outgoing model. Whereas the previous model featured quad coreIntel Core i5 and i7 Tiger Lake CPUs, the new variant will reportedly get upgraded to a Core i7-13700H and i7-13800H for the higher end model. Both chips are from among Intel’s latest CPUs based on its Raptor Lake architecture, featuring 6 P cores and 8 E cores with peak boost clocks of 5GHz or greater.

Memory options were not disclosed between the three models mentioned above, but there will be 16GB and 32GB LPDDR5X options to choose from, with Microsoft even adding a 64GB option for the first time. Besides internals, the only other upgrades the Studio 2 is getting pertain to I/O, including a full-size USB Type-A port and a microSD card reader in conjunction with two Thunderbolt 4 USB 4 compatible Type-C ports that have been carried over from the original model.
Specs on the upcoming Surface Laptop Go 3 were also reported. The new device will reportedly come with a slightly older Alder Lake-based Core i5-1235U featuring two P-cores and eight E-cores with a maximum boost clock of up to 4.4GHz. The base model will reportedly come with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD starting at a price of €899 — which converts to $958 USD not including tax. Spec wise, the new variant is a noteworthy upgrade over the Laptop Go 2, which came with a i5-1135G7 Tiger Lake chip, 4GB of memory and a 128GB for the entry-level model.
Microsoft will be unveiling both Surface devices in one week at a special Surface event.
