Microsoft arguably takes this clean aesthetic a bit too far, as all the USB 3.0 ports and the memory card reader are located on the rear. There should be plenty of refurbished Surface Studios out there, especially since more and more people are upgrading to the new model.
However, this doesn’t mean that wouldn’t be able to. You can pick up the Surface Studio 2, with updated internals, but you’re looking at an even higher price tag, with the base model will set you back $3,499 (AU$5,499, about £2,750).Įither way, because the Surface Studio 2 has been on the market for a while now and the original has been officially discontinued, so you’ll have problems finding a Surface Studio these days – new or otherwise. Similarly, the HP Envy AIO 27 maxes out at only $1,799 (about £1,346, AU$2,363). Even if you were to max out the Dell XPS 27 AIO, it wouldn’t even come close at $3,299 or £2,999 (about AU$4,320). The Surface Studio reviewed here is, without a doubt, a luxurious purchase. Plus, unlike the Surface Studio before it, HP’s workstation all-in-one is easily upgradeable and future-proof, thanks to the accessibility to its internals. Meanwhile, if you want to max out the Surface Studio, you’ll get an Intel Core i7 processor, 32GB of RAM and a 4GB GTX 980M eGPU.Ī total of $4,199 (£4,249, AU$6,599) is a steep price, particularly when you can pick up an HP Z1 G3 for only $1,359 (about £971, AU$1,723) with a business-class Intel Xeon E3-1270 CPU, Nvidia Quadro M2000M graphics and a 3,840 x 2,160 4K screen to top it all off. The ‘cheapest’ unit is packing with a 6th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, a 2GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 965M GPU and 1TB of storage. The Surface Studio ranges from that to the whopping $4,199 (£4,249, AU$6,599) configuration that we reviewed here. All versions come with a 28-inch (4,500 x 3,000) display. The original Surface Book started out at an astronomical $2,999 (£2,999, AU$4,699) with an Intel Core i5 CPU with 8GB of RAM, a 1TB HDD (with an integrated 64GB SSD) and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 965 GPU. Traditionally, Surface devices represent a premium market, but the Surface Studio takes that to the next level.
