Curiously, the new 14.4-inch display isn't as high of a resolution as that found on the Surface Book line. The new 14.4-inch display also has a high refresh rate of 120Hz, which will make using Windows 11 feel super smooth with all its new animations. The device can be configured with either 16GB or 32GB of RAM, up to 1TB storage, and can even wirelessly charge the new Surface Slim Pen 2, which is sold separately.

If you're curious about our other expectations, check out our Surface Pro 10 wish list, where we discuss some improvements that can be made to Microsoft's flagship tablet.

Rich WoodsĪnd those are all our wishes for the Surface Studio 3, should it ever come to fruition. A higher refresh rate means you'll see smoother animations, and overall, it's just a more pleasant user experience. Being a desktop, it's not a battery life concern either. The Surface Pro 9 and Surface Laptop Studio already come with 120Hz displays, and this being a premium product, the Surface Studio 2+ should too.
