Meanwhile Apple is removing ports and the ESC key.. Telling.

 

[juliushandle]

please make a dial thing for the regular surface

 

[Izuna]

That screen is calibrated

This is the one thing that I want this for. I need to know how it does scaling if it is HDMI in. I can't afford this shit but you know, I'd take one with Pascal in it.

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

Until they prove it's 100% DCI P3 and comes with not only super good factory calibration but perfect settings for calibration, it's useless.

 

[kendrid]

Hug it, kiss it, immerse yourself it in.

 

[harSon]

Panos is easily one of the best tech presenters in the industry at the moment

He's the best by far. Dude sounds downright sexual when discussing specs.

 

[dude]

Wacom am cry lol

I was considering buying a new Cintiq, but I guess not anymore.

 

[Quonny]

There really, really needs to be something at the top of the screen to really hold it there. The slight bend you get when pushing on the screen I would think would be important to creators (at least the couple I know from work).

 

[Stinkles]

Wacom am cry lol

oh good job you've summoned Shogmaster now.

 

[Zaph]

That is very very fast

 

[D4Danger]

him leaning on that screen is giving me terrible anxiety.

 

[Lazaro]

No idea why my text didn't show up. Apple in scramble mode for tomorrow.

Wonder if they got anything sitting in rnd that they are gonna rush out on stage tomorrow

Mario Run on OSX

 

[Futureman]

The surface studio is incredible

it really destroys the iMac. Price may be insane but this is just leaps and bounds better than Apple. Will be interesting to see what Apple shows tomorrow. A spec bump would be embarrassing.

 

[Doc Holliday]

I was considering buying a new Cintiq, but I guess not anymore.

They charge 2 grand, for just the screen. A shitty one at that.

Wacom getting sorrounded by MS and Apple. Apple on the portable front and MS on the desktop.

 

[BruceCLea]

I'm an Apple user, but MS has been crushing it lately in terms of innovation.

 

[kiguel182]

Apple messed up when their pen stuff is stuck to iOS, a non productive OS while Microsoft allows you to use their tech with actual programs.

I have no idea how Apple can compete with this given how MacOS has no touch support at all and iOS is not a productive OS as much as Apple wish it was.

 

[Red]

This thing is cool, man.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

him leaning on that screen is giving me terrible anxiety.

Yep, keep expecting it to snap.

 

[harSon]

With Panos at the helm, I'm excited to see what Xbox Scorpio looks like. Microsoft's devices have been downright beautiful since he's taking the reigns.

 

[Frustrated_me]

So fucking cool.

 

[Paganmoon]

That pen works much better than on my SP4 though.

 

[Archpath1]

Studio is life
Studio is love

 

[HvySky]

Wow, this Surface Studio looks amazing. Microsoft is killing it right now.

 

[dLMN8R]

Did they mention pressure sensitivity for drawing? Wacom? Same tech as the rest of the Surface line?

Microsoft bought nTrig in February of 2015 and uses that in all their Surfaces today - integrated into other touch/pen-assistive tech they call "PixelSense".

The Surface Book and Surface Pro 4 pen have 1,024 levels of pressure, but they haven't said whether the Studio spec is the same yet.

 

[New002]

As a designer, this really piqued my interest.

iMacs are for everybody. This formfactor may be similar, but this isn't intended to be in the same league. Probably 3x the price.

I think its going to be embarrassing tomorrow..

 

[LQX]

That thing looks way too big to effectively write or even draw anything on while sitting in front of it.

 

[Interfectum]

I'm already filling out a requisition to get one for work. Just waiting on price. lol

 

[Doc Holliday]

MS realized that Apple basically abandoned the creative community by not updating their hardware and completely misreading disregarding pen tech for so long.

 

[Chris R]

Would be awesome if the dial worked with all surfaces

This. MS is killing it today, but none if this hardware is for mainstream users.

 

[kiguel182]

If you told me some years ago I would be thinking of buying a Microsoft computer I wouldn't believe it. Their evolution has been something to witness.

At the same time Apple has been dragging their feet when it comes to Macs.

 

[runningjoke]

Would be awesome if the dial worked with all surfaces

I don't see why not [edit] confirmed

 

[Izuna]

dial for surface book?

 

[Frustrated_me]

Would be awesome if the dial worked with all surfaces

Why would it not? it's built into Windows.

 

[jstripes]

This design is making the iMac look a bit stale.

The only benefit the iMac has, design-wise, is that it can be put on a custom mount.

 

[Lazaro]

cool, the dial is backward compatible.

 

[gamz]

That dial is incredible.

 

[Sky Interloper]

Yep, keep expecting it to snap.

I really want to know how much weight it can handle, and for how much time. Fatigue is critical for a product like this.

 

[tiredheadcrab]

Meanwhile Apple removed those function keys regular USB ports making your life miserable.

Am I right?

 

[bionic77]

I'm an Apple user, but MS has been crushing it lately in terms of innovation.

100% agree.

None of this stuff is for me but it is extremely fucking impressive. Especially the desktop.

 

[kiguel182]

MS realized that Apple basically abandoned the creative community by not updating their hardware and completely misreading disregarding pen tech for so long.

Apple really dropped the ball and Microsoft catched it and ran with it.

After years of "this is the same Mac but thinner" and for last year not even that they are seeing some serious competition now.

 

[harSon]

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.

 

[Futureman]

This. MS is killing it today, but none if this hardware is for mainstream users.

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??

 

[SliChillax]

Does the Surface Studio have video input?

 

[D4Danger]

this is almost as boring as watching some live code.

 

[gamz]

can care less. I'm buying one.

 

[Izuna]

Does the Surface Studio have video input?

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

Poors buy the S, rich people get the Scorpio. Same with this. SP4 for me, this thing for the money bags ;_;
