Little more can be said given on the hype surrounding this machine already, so all I can add is the observation that hype is true and a few more details.  First, I use it as my TRAVELING computer.  Now, you can question of the wisdom of putting a $5K computer in checked baggage, even having built a custom wood protective plate for the screen, and all I can say in my defense is it works.  I have even taken this machine to China.  I don't put fragile stickers on the rather nondescript suitcase I use for this machine, as it too clearly advertises value, so this Surface Studio 2 has to withstand full-on airline baggage mistreatment.  I did buy the downtown warranty against breakage for $400.  While it is NOWHERE in the specs, you can plug this machine into 220V with no problem.  The spring-loaded stand is a little tricky and it doesn't fold perfectly flat to back, so I had to build a little wood support for that too.  To hold this folded in the suitcase, and the wood protector against the screen, I just use a luggage strap.  About 25 pounds all in.  The Bluetooth keyboard and mouse that come with the Studio 2 are great, and light.  The wifi seems to jump on any network easily.  The camera and facial recognition software work well.  It has four USB 3.0 ports, one of them being labeled "power" but not enough power to give you phone fast charging.  I haven't been able to make this machine recognize my Note 9 yet as an external drive.  The adjustable screen hinge is a miracle of design.  And the ability to have TOUCH screen 4500x3000 display (192ppi) is like working on a photograph.
