The reason why is that this new design allows Microsoft to leave more room for the GPU, CPU, and other parts at the bottom “bump” of the device. If a Surface Book 4 were to be announced, we think it could be a lot like the Studio. While the detachable screen on the Surface Book was a revolutionary idea when initially was announced, Microsoft now seems to have swapped that in favor of the new “floating” design of the Laptop Studio. A new design?Įven though the Surface Book 4 might be as good as dead, we still want to speculate on what a potential product like that might end up looking like. The new Surface Laptop Studio starts at $1,600, so if a Book 4 were to be released, it probably would come at a hefty price. If Microsoft were to have a change of heart and it were to be released, though, we’d consider that the pricing would be well over the $1,500 range.

That said, we don’t think the Surface Book 4 will ever be released. This is backed by Windows Central’s Zac Bowden, who mentioned that Microsoft said the Laptop Studio is a replacement and successor to the Surface Book line. This is Microsoft’s new “all-powerful” Surface, so many technology enthusiasts and tech reviewers have mentioned that the Laptop Studio “replaces” the Book 3, which was last released in May 2020.
