  • Surface Studio 2+ list of technical specifications.
  • The all-in-one comes only with Intel 11th Gen Core i7.
  • The new Surface Studio 2+ will be available on October 25, starting at $4500.

Microsoft has unveiled the Surface Studio 2+, an update to its desktop computer. As the name implies, it’s not a new device. Instead, it’s the same Studio 2 launched in 2017, but with new(er) internals.

The new version of the all-in-one desktop now comes with an Intel 11th Gen Core i7 series H processor, which is not a significant upgrade since Intel is already in the 13th generation.

As part of the graphics to drive the gorgeous 4K monitor, you will find that the Studio 2 Plus comes with an Nvidia RTX 3060, which is among the latest cards, but one of the lower ends. As a result, this machine may not be ideal for gaming since upgrading the graphics to a more powerful card is not an option.

The Surface Studio 2 Plus also has a 28-inch 4K (4500 x 3000) touch-enabled display with Dolby Vision support connected with the zero gravity hinge.
