The Surface Laptop Studio supports USB-C charging so it's possible to charge it with a GaN charger. The model with Intel Core i5 comes with a 65W charger and the Intel Core i7 comes with a 102W charger.

If you don't need or want the graphics card, the much lighter Surface Pro 8 at 891g is a better option, and is cheaper too. The main selling point of the Surface Laptop Studio is so that you can have the graphics card. Just for comparison purposes, these are prices of the Surface Pro 8 from Microsoft's website at the time of this review. Microsoft Singapore has promotion occasionally, usually in the form of bundles, such as the bundling of Surface Slim Pen 2 worth SGD 179. Here in Singapore, price for the base model starts at SGD 2338, and the model with the graphics card is SGD 3088. I found the official retail prices to be pricey so the discounted prices are more reasonable. Prices from Amazon USA are quite comparable too. Prices above are from Microsoft online store. Official retail price starts from USD 1599 for the model for the Intel Core i5, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD storage and Intel Iris Xe.Īs the laptop has been out for several months now, you can find it often with discounts in USA.
