The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 is reminiscent of the HP Elite Folio laptop I reviewed in 2021. Both feature a snazzy display that can be pulled forward, landing on top of the deck between the keyboard and the touchpad. It is angled in such a way that it looks like a digital easel, allowing …
