    My next ‘iMac’ in the absence of upgrades from Apple

    In the absence of larger-screen iMac upgrades from Apple, I'm considering buying the Microsoft Surface Studio 2+ with an Intel Core i7-11370H processor, 32GB of RAM, 1TB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics, and a 28-inch display. Are there any disadvantages apart from the lack of macOS?
