> The Surface Laptop Studio starts at $1,600 in its base configuration, which includes a Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of SSD storage, and integrated graphics. Pre-orders start today, with a launch next week to line up with the release of Windows 11.

Seems like pretty low specs for that price point, no?



A similarly speced XPS 2-in-1 costs 1,120$ and that is already and expensive laptop, so yeah that's pretty pricey.


The XPS - and most other laptops - lacks the professional grade pen digitizer though as well as the 120hz display. Pretty sure that makes up for quite a lot of this price difference.


It gets significantly more expensive ($3,099) if you opt for 32GB RAM and 2TB SSD. I assume there's quite a lot of material cost for the parts which don't change (GPU, Screen, Battery, et al).
