Microsoft is ending production of its Surface Studio 2 Plus all-in-one PC two years after introducing the latest model. Surface Studio 2 Plus stock started running out in recent weeks, and now Microsoft has confirmed to Windows Central that it’s no longer manufacturing the device.
“Customers can continue to purchase Surface Studio 2 Plus through retailers and partners with stock” says Microsoft in a statement. “For areas reaching out of stock, Surface Studio 2 Plus will no longer be available for new purchases.”
The Surface Studio started off life as a surprise addition to Microsoft’s Surface lineup, with a touchscreen and unique hinge that allowed the 28-inch display to transform into a giant tablet for drawing purposes. It targeted creatives, one of Apple’s strongholds, at a time when Microsoft had just shipped Windows 10 and was looking to make desktop PCs exciting again.

It now looks like the end of the road for Microsoft’s innovative Surface Studio, once considered the ultimate all-in-one Windows device. While the Surface Studio was always an expensive and niche device, there was nothing else quite like it on the market. Microsoft has been gradually exiting various areas of its Surface business, with no successors planned for the Surface Duo or Surface Earbuds either.
This year Microsoft has largely focused on its Copilot Plus range of devices, including a new Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7. The company also launched business-focused versions of the Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6 earlier this year with Intel chips inside. It looks like Lunar Lake variants of the Surface Laptop 7 and Surface Pro 11 will arrive in 2025, after a prototype Surface Laptop appeared on a Chinese second-hand marketplace in October.
