Its fast, its powerful, and it transforms!

The Slim Pen 2 integration is also pretty significant.

Theres no logical reason for me to trade my current laptop in for Microsofts new Laptop Studio.

Compared to my current rig, theLaptop Studiowould definitely be a step up.

Its kind of a significant upgrade in some regards and a slight step down in others.

At least, depending on which model of Laptop Studio were looking at.

At its most basic, the Laptop Studio has twice the RAM and comparable hard drive space.

Well, that, plus it supports Dolby Vision and is a functional touch screen.

My MacBookdefinitelycant do that.

Though I suppose its fair to say that my MacBook is a little more portablelike just a hair.

Im so rarely in a situation where I cant charge my computer when Im working its a non-factor.

The biggest draw for me is that it transforms from a laptop to a tablet.

In particular, I love the idea of being able to use it in tablet mode for video editing.

Its the $1599.99 starting price thats holding me back more than anything.
