Microsoft Discontinues Surface Studio 2 Plus, Future Uncertain

Microsoft has quietly discontinued it’s Surface Studio 2​ Plus ​all-in-one PC, just two years after its release. Retailers have been reporting dwindling ​stock in recent weeks, and Microsoft⁤ has now confirmed too‌ Windows central ‍ that production of ⁣the device has⁣ ceased.

“Customers can continue to purchase Surface Studio ⁢2 Plus thru retailers and partners with stock,” Microsoft said in a statement. “for areas reaching out ⁢of stock, Surface Studio 2 Plus will no longer be available for new purchases.”

The Surface⁣ Studio, ​first unveiled in ⁤2016,​ was a ​surprise addition⁤ to ​Microsoft’s Surface⁤ lineup. Its unique hinge allowed the 28-inch touchscreen ‍display to fold down, transforming the device into ​a giant ‌tablet ideal for drawing and creative tasks. Microsoft⁢ aimed the Studio at​ creatives, a market traditionally dominated⁣ by Apple, at a time ‍when the company was looking to revitalize the desktop PC experience with Windows 10.

While the Surface Studio was always a ​premium and⁤ niche device, its innovative design⁢ and focus​ on‌ creative professionals set it‌ apart. The discontinuation of the Surface Studio ⁢2 Plus marks the end of an era ⁤for ‍Microsoft’s ambitious all-in-one PC.

Microsoft is streamlining its‍ Surface lineup, quietly ⁤phasing out several​ products without plans ‌for‍ replacements. The innovative Surface Duo, a dual-screen smartphone, and the Surface​ Earbuds, ‍designed‌ for seamless audio ‌integration, are⁣ among the casualties. “As someone⁣ who has pleaded for a‌ Surface Studio monitor, I’m still holding ‌out hope ‌that⁣ Microsoft might one day release a standalone ‌folding and​ transforming ⁢screen so we can turn any laptop or PC into⁤ a Surface Studio,” commented a tech enthusiast, highlighting the lingering desire for certain Surface innovations. This strategic shift by Microsoft​ reflects a broader trend in the tech industry, where ‍companies are focusing on core product ⁣lines and discontinuing less triumphant ventures. While the discontinuation of the Surface Duo and Earbuds may disappoint some ‌consumers, it allows Microsoft to concentrate its‍ resources on its‍ flagship Surface devices and software offerings.
That’s a great start!
