![]() ![]() It doesn't quite have the right specs or price tags for most types of computer users out there, which is a shame because it has a gorgeous design that would look great at homes and offices. Gamers can attach their own monitors to the Surface Studio 2 for a better gaming experience, but at that point they might as well buy or build a PC that's likely less expensive than the Surface Studio 2.įor all intents and purposes, I want to keep using the Surface Studio 2 for as long as Microsoft will let me before I need to return it.Įssentially, the Surface Studio 2 is a niche device.
