After the announcement of the Surface Pro 6 and Surface Laptop 2 with a black appearance, Microsoft did not add the black appearance option to the new Surface Studio 2 but upgraded both the screen specifications and the hardware design.
The processor is replaced with Intel’s 8th generation Core I series and it is also equipped with a 2TB SSD storage option. The display card is NVIDIA’s previously introduced Pascal architecture GPU, while the screen pressure sensor supports 4096 steps. It is fully compatible with Windows Ink technology applications, as well as support for Surface Pen and Surface Dial. As for the pricing, there was a bit of debate as to how Microsoft would like to sell this device. However, the new Surface Studio 2 is priced at $3,499 and will be available for pre-orders from now on. It is expected to be available for direct sales from November 15.
