Of course, the 28-inch 4.5K display is the start of the show here, but another interesting component is the ARM 32-bit Cortex M7 processor found behind the screen. There is no information about Microsoft decision to include an ARM chip on an Intel-powered device, but it appears that the processor’s purpose is to help drive the display. iFixit also tore the Surface Studio base, which looks very much like an Apple TV or iMac Mini, and it includes all the computer guts. The bad news here is that it’s not so upgradable, as Microsoft has soldered the CPU and GPU, as well as the memory into the motherboard. However, you can replace the custom hybrid hard drive, which unlike regular hybrid drives, the one from the Studio is made up of a traditional rotating platters hard drive and m.2 Solid State Drive.
