Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 rumors

Edited the title to add the word “laptop” and to tack “rumors” at the end, so we can have a separate thread later when it officially releases.

Thinking about this some more, here’s what I’m hoping to see:

Main wishes:

  • an AMOLED or miniLED option
  • dramatically faster CPU (more than quad core)
  • a bit thinner and a lot lighter
  • power button with fingerprint reader, accessible in both laptop and studio mode

Minor gripes

  • add TB4 port(s) on the right side as well
  • make it easier to open so we can swap the SSD easily
  • no more stickers as part of the construction (underside of ledge)
  • make it harder to toggle the Fn key mode (e.g. make it require long-press)
  • add a divet behind the pen so it’s easier to pull out from under the ledge

Why the fingerprint reader? Because Windows Hello doesn’t work when the camera is pointed at the ceiling in tablet mode / Studio mode.
