I wanted to include the A2000 in the GPU benchmarks to show the difference and give some perspective from a business standpoint. The A2000 has slightly better performance as you will see in the benchmarks, but the performance difference should still be considered. The business model comes with an NVIDIA RTX A2000 mobile GPU, and the consumer model comes with a GeForce RTX 3050 Ti. I also want to mention that when considering the Surface Laptop Studio for business, the model with the dGPU comes with a slightly different NVIDIA GPU than the consumer model. One difference that should be kept in the back of our minds is that the M1 Pro has 32GB of unified memory and the Surface Laptop Studio has 4GB GPU memory and 32GB CPU memory.

While the processors look unevenly matched, the M1 Pro and Intel Core have the same number of threads since the M1 Pro is single-threaded (8 threads), and the 4-core Intel processor is multi-threaded (8 threads).
