Microsoft announced new Surface models Thursday, with the focus being on the Surface Laptop Studio 2, the most powerful the company says it has ever built.

Microsoft’s Experience Center in New York City was the scene of a press launch of the new Microsoft Studio 2+ all-in-one PC, Microsoft Surface Pro tablet-designed laptop, and the Microsoft Surface Laptop 5.

After some brief hands-on time with Microsoft's two new laptops that were unveiled today, the Surface Pro 9 is a more attractive product for the photographer and videographer due to the Intel 12th Gen processor, and the portable form factor is more practical for photographers on the go.

Microsoft has announced upgrades to two of its Surface laptop lines in the Surface Pro 9 and the Surface Laptop 5, both of which bring Intel's 12th-generation CPUs and integrated graphics.

Microsoft's first Surface Duo looked promising, but loud complaints about poor photo quality, bugs, and old hardware saw it flop in sales. The Surface Duo 2 directly addresses all the complaints, but the device may be too flawed to fix.

Microsoft has announced the Surface Duo 2, its second-generation foldable smartphone which makes significant improvements over the original including a new camera array and multiple usability enhancements.

Microsoft has announced the Surface Laptop 4, almost identical to its predecessor in design but comes packed with new processors that should offer better performance.

If you're a photographer in search of a new laptop or tablet for working with your photos, there's something you'll probably want to know about Microsoft Surface devices: an estimated 25% of them will break within the first two years you have them, a new report says.
