Surface Laptop Studio 2 (RTX 4060) is the next powerful Microsoft hardware

Surface Laptop Studio 2 successor could launch later this year and boost significant hardware upgrades, according to new benchmarks seen by Windows Latest. The Surface Laptop Studio 2 is on the cards for some time this year, and it may ship with Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4060.

Benchmarks for the Surface Laptop Studio 2 have appeared on Geekbench, a popular benchmarking portal. The tech giant is testing multiple SKUs of the device. One model may feature Intel’s powerful Core i7 13800H (13th gen) with GeForce RTX 4060, 64GB of RAM and up to 2TB of SSD storage.

Based on the benchmarks and references, I believe this could be the possible lineup of Surface Laptop Studio 2, but it’s always subject to change:

• Intel Core i5, 16GB RAM, 128GB storage.
• Intel Core i5, 16GB RAM, 512GB storage.
• Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB storage.
• Intel Core i7, 32GB RAM, 1TB storage.
• Intel Core i7, 32GB RAM, 2TB storage.
• Intel Core i7, 64GB RAM, 2TB storage.

Of course, these models will also feature Intel Iris Xe graphics, included in the 13th-gen lineup.

It is worth noting that these configurations may not ship on the first day, and there could be minor changes, but this is what the tech giant is considering now.

The benchmark of the high-end model confirmed a single-core score of 2564 and a multi-core score of 12463. The multi-core score is almost twice of the original Surface Laptop Studio, which has a multi-core score of around 6,000 and a single-core score of about 2000.

Significant changes to the device’s design won’t exist as this update focuses on performance and configurations.

Microsoft won’t launch the Surface Duo 2 successor in 2023

While Surface Laptop Studio is getting its successor in 2023, Microsoft has no plans to update the popular Surface Duo lineup.

Microsoft has given up on the ‘dual-screen’ approach and plans to use a traditional foldable screen seen on Samsung, Honor, Xiaomi and other phones. The Surface Duo 3 will likely feature an internal foldable screen with an external cover display, all put together by a 180-degree hinge.

As a result, the Surface Duo 3 launch in 2023 is highly unlikely.

Microsoft is exploring new Android hardware options. There are prototypes of traditional smartphones running Android and Microsoft’s Android experience. However, plans are subject to change, and Microsoft may not launch its phone anytime soon.

Microsoft is also working on deeper Android and Windows integration to differentiate its Android offering from other OEMs like Xiaomi and Samsung.
