They're using old Skylake CPUs too, while Kaby Lake's launch is imminent.
That's what I've been sayingHoly Molly this is so out of touch.
Nothing that they have shown is for professionals, some indie comic-book doodles and perspective sketches. You can combine sketches and words! WOW!
How about not skimming on components? Hybrid HDD? Medium-end laptop GPU? No Ethernet ports? Can you even encode a video for two hours without overheating the system, let alone use the peak performance of both GPU and CPU without catching fire?
What does a comparable Cintiq cost?
And of course they forgot to mention that the 16 hours of battery life was for video playback, not regular usage. 🙄
More importantly, a new Surface keyboard and mouse for desktop use.

There's nothing directly comparable, but basically, a lot of money https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1113580-REG/wacom_dth_2700_cintiq_27qhd_27_creative.html
This shithead introducing the Surface Studio is unbearable.

Studio doesn't have an SSD only option. I don't even.
Ok, so someone in the market for something like this is used to these prices.
I don't see any configuration options for just an SSD. There's only 1 and 2 TB hybrids.What do you mean?
Ergo Keyboard is really tempting me.
I understand Microsoft didn't want to repeat the mistake of using bleeding edge processors this year after what happened with Skylake bugs, but I can't imagine why they couldn't get Nvidia to give the Surface Book something VR capable.
the Microsoft iMac looks awesome but I worry that the price (for the specs) will kill it
The thing is that this isn't an iMac device, this is something completely different.
Ugh Surface 3 (non pro) is old as fuck, and we still don't have an update.
Not sure if it has been posted already but the Surface Studio video is up on YouTube.

Next year.
For the most part this is and was a Window 10 event.
Yes but the current device is old as fuck this year aka right now.
Really wish they had a refresh out for the Holidays.

I wonder what they mean by "Rapid Hybrid Drive", because this is clearly an M.2 drive. M.2 SSD + separate mechanical drive I guess?
I'm still surprised what a mess Skylake is. MS at least releases updated drivers, but literally every other manufacturer has old glitch drivers. My i7 Skylake laptop will constantly have display driver issues and force close everything. I tried 3 different models (two i5's and an i7, all from different manufacturers) and the crappy integrated graphics card would glitch out on all of them. Working in photoshop or even Web browsing on Firefox is a mess (both force close randomly during use).I think MS is waiting. Skylake was a glitchy release and made the SP4 and SB look kind of bad. Those have been fixed, but Intel left a bad impression and it was considering MS was the lead taker on those chips.
Intel dropped the ball on skylake. MS is just waiting to make sure these chips are stable for their devices.
it's gonna be good.This thing is actually a game changer for art centric studios
Just for comparison, a Wacom 27HD is like 3000 dollars and that's just a tablet, with a worse screen.
But this thing will live and die by how good the pen input is
I don’t even have a Windows PC, and it’s been a few years since I’ve played around aimlessly in MS Paint. But its status as a classic, timeless program (I refuse to call it an app!) should divorce from the burden of modernization and software updates, especially ones that encourage you to customize emoji and share them on Facebook.
