If you're looking for more exciting Surface news, you probably won't have to wait long. Microsoft's spring Surface hardware refresh will likely occur within the next couple of weeks. We could potentially see a Surface Laptop 4, Surface Headphones 2+, and new accessories like a webcam. For fans of the Surface Studio line, it's unlikely that any new hardware is on the way unless you count the potential upcoming Microsoft Classroom Pen 2.

  • Is it a firmware or bios update? unless you consider this a giant tablet
  • I just want someone to figure out how to separate the screen from these, a couple of those displays on my workstation would be awesome...
  • Hopefully they will announce the surface studio3 I do intend to buy that
  • If they can search their soul and find some way to charge < $4k then I'll buy one too. If they sell just the monitor so you can dock a SP8 to it, that would be amazing!
  • I just want the display as well. These are the best looking displays I've ever seen, and 2-3 of them would be an amazing workstation. Aspect ratio is great too.
  • I agree with others, the Microsoft's Surface Studio is actually a pretty stupid product computer wise and the only thing worth anything is the display. Why MS continues to insist this fantastic display should be bolted onto this under-powered mobile like device is beyond me. MAKE A SURFACE TOWER!!!! Then sell the monitor to anyone who wants to buy one regardless of what they are connecting it to.
  • I really don't mind the Surface Studio line. It's a great concept for my needs, but it is prohibitively expensive. If it had a Quadro card and the price was lower with current gen tech, I would totally get one.
