Wonder what our art team thinks of this. The color/space gamut stuff alone is incredibly useful.

Wait what gamut? Did they mention it?

 

[Red]

This computer, along with the dial, feels like it is fulfilling the decades-old promise of a true digital desktop.

 

[GTI Guy]

wait till they use the dial on the screen. then it gets real.

I have to say though, this event has me kind of worried about the price of the Xbox Scorpio. It seems like they have absolutely no issues having incredibly premium priced devices as a part of their portfolio.

Surface and Xbox are 2 completely different demographics and Microsoft knows that, I don't expect the Scorpio to be anymore than $450 considering it's still a year away.

That is where the OEMs come in; HP, DELL, etc.. And they build the 'cheaper' versions of the next XBOX. I'm calling it right now this is what is going to happen.

 

[clav]

There's a market for Bob Ross and this for casuals.

But its high end and intended for professionals

Scorp is the same for console gamers
Imo

 

[Vanillalite]

Pro 4 m3 is $899 (well probably less now, that's what I bought it for 1 year ago). How is that not mainstream but Apple is??

The whole point was what they announced today.

 

[kiguel182]

The console space is all about cheap devices. Microsoft gets this and knows that gaming PCs are the premium space and that's why they are extending Xbox to PC without being afraid of canibalizing sales.

Also, this presentation makes the fact that the iPad Pro runs iOS even more baffling.

 

[Lucius86]

The other negative with this product is no USB Type-C support. Just 3.0 wasn't it?

Yep, the elite controller elevates that notion.

 

[D4Danger]

I have to say it's nice that left handed people are finally being represented in the tech world.

 

[Izuna]

Wait what gamut? Did they mention it?

They say DCI P3 but I'm sure it's because he didn't want to clarify that it can't do 100% of Rec. 2020

 

[kendrid]

this is almost as boring as watching some live code.

I agree. I want to fast forward so bad right now.

 

[chrizzz09]

I'm starting to doubt

But guys, the good news is that the NEW Surface Book (2) next year should be DCI P3 compatible. Which basically shits on the BS Apple is trying to pass off

Why? 5K iMac, iPad Pro and iPhone 7 are all DCI-P3. Tomorrow the new MacBook Pros are likely to also feature DCI-P3.

Xbox is a consumption device. You play games on it and thats it. Surface line are producer devices. You create shit with it.

Both attract 2 very different types of people and fall into 2 very different categories. Why would scorpio be any more expensive than the One?

Even the One had to rapidly drop in price to compete with PS4. People aren't gonna drop a ton of money on a console no matter how powerful and they are aware of this, they just recently learned their lesson with the One.


Also motionbook looks cool af.

 

[Alienfan]

What's the small cylinder device next to it?

 

[Last_colossi]

What's the small cylinder device next to it?

The surface dial.

 

[gamz]

I agree. I want to fast forward so bad right now.

I think it'll cool as hell!

 

[pitchfork]

Awesome!

 

[plainr_]

I would like a version of this without the AIO components. Just a standalone monitor/touchscreen.

 

[kiguel182]

Apple continues to have amazing screens but Microsoft putting touch capabilities and a great pen to go with them kinda makes them lacking.

[Stinkles]

"gamut" meaning the plain english word, for spectrum-of or variety, not the PhotoShop/Art term.

 

[Izuna]

Apple's "Wide Colour" isn't 100% DCI P3, right? I thought I read that somewhere.

 

[Frustrated_me]

So awesome all this..

 

[lastflowers]

What's the small cylinder device next to it?

surface dial.

 

[Alienfan]

The surface dial.

What is it for though?

 

[Quonny]

Panos thinks that was cool.

 

[Zeknurn]

I would like a version of this without the AIO components. Just a standalone monitor/touch screen.

I think most people would want that.

 

[Lucifon]

Starts at $3000

 

[Lazaro]

Cool. FlipNote for windows.

 

[BoosterDuck]

Cintiq

but I hope Wacom starts pickup up the pace they've been slacking lately

 

[Wanda/Wander]

People keep talking about Apple, but shouldn't Wacom be the ones worried?

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

Panos thinks that was cool.

If he does then I do too.

GO PANOS! WOOOO!

 

[commish]

MS always killing it. All of this looks lovely.

 

[Last_colossi]

People keep talking about Apple, but shouldn't Wacom be the ones worried?

Exactly, that's what I've been saying.

If this starts at $3000, why would you buy a cintiq?

 

[gamz]

This is way more then I expected. God damn!

 

[Archpath1]

Whoa adjust colors while doing a stroke

 

[giga]

They say DCI P3 but I'm sure it's because he didn't want to clarify that it can't do 100% of Rec. 2020

If p3 then that's awesome and really should be the minimum for premium devices. I don't think many (any?) devices do rec 2020.

 

[Quonny]

That dial is so awesome.

Don't know, but your CFO is crying, locking up the cheque book and going on vacation.

 

[Frustrated_me]

I never thought an AIO could be this good.. Christ they nailed it.

[TVexperto]

Over 2.000 bucks for a laptop? How can anybody afford that...

 

[Lucifon]

Comes with 'Free' Surface Dial, starts at $3000. WindowsCentral tweeted it.

 

[giga]

Welp. $2999 US DOLLARS.

I'm out.

 

[clav]

That's like 5 OG PS3s.

 

[gamma]

Why didn't they show the Dial on screen?

 

[eerik9000]

But I've always felt like computer is serving me and not the other way?
