first time want to get the hands-on experience moving on to the base of the surface studi display we have the Entire Computer actually they fit everything in here that runs the screen and I do mean to say it that way it almost feels like there's been a roll reversal here where the computer feels like an accessory to the display instead of the other way around to help you understand what I mean by this we'll need to take a look at the specs our unit comes equipped with a mobile Intel Core i7 6820hq processor and a mobile graphics card card last generation's NVIDIA GTX 980m along with 32 gigs of ddr4 RAM and a 2 tbte hybrid Drive rocking 128 gigs of solid state storage at $4200 this is unsurprisingly the highest end model but don't imagine that the base version is particularly affordable either it cost $3,000 and drops down to a core I 5 8 gigs of RAM an anemic GTX 965m and half the storage and no it's not user upgradeable I fix it gave it a 5 out of 10 due to its soldered RAM CPU and GPU and you can't buy the screen by itself and you can't even use the screen once the hardware becomes outdated by just plugging in another computer there are no video inputs just a singular video output in the form of mini DisplayPort on the back also at the back is an ether Jack a full-sized SD card reader four type a USB 3 5 GB ports and a headphone and microphone Jack that's it so pretty barebones for a desktop computer but there is actually a rather cool grip release AC power cable that won't give way to random tugs it's actually kind of interesting back to the hardware let's talk about performance the surface studio is using not just mobile technology but lasts gen mobile tech from both Intel and NVIDIA which means that while using it is smooth in the vast majority of still art applications like Adobe photosop or Microsoft's own fresh paint and of course you can edit videos on it it's limited expandability and unexceptional specs mean it doesn't feel like a high-end video editing workstation which was really disappointing to our editors here who were amped about using the dial for timeline scrubbing and other cool stuff on the surface and whatever it is those guys do all day and then that excitement was kind of lost Microsoft's response to this criticism was that they were limited due to their design window making the surface Studio work with these new technologies would have involved re-engineering the thermal design but I can think of other Solutions why not allow people to buy the screen and run their own more powerful computers like Wacom does with their cintique line of products which I guess actually leads us into that comparison can the surface Studio penetrate wacom's strangle hold on the professional digital writing surface Market well it holds up fine the screen looks great and the huge surface area is awesome but artists including our neighbor Steve who's pretty great at things have issues with the surface pen not being as accurate in terms of pressure when compared to offerings from the other side in the Box you get a Surface Studio a surface pen a surface keyboard a surface Mouse a fancy surface power cord and that's it no surface dial but before you go back to Microsoft in a huff and purchase the dial that you assumed was included in the Box considering how prominently they featured it in like all of its advertising you might want to keep a few things in mind one it works with all Bluetooth equipped Windows 10 n PCS which is nice it's not just a surface device two there is a relatively simple Windows wheel API for application developers to integrate its functionality with their programs but outside of developers developers developers it is not user programmable in the same way that something like a Logitech or razor keyboard would be sorry Taran no fancy custom macros at least not yet and three you're probably just going to be using this thing on your desk not on the screen and if you want to use it that way you'll be constantly moving it on and off of the display that whole thing looked super cool in their video but if you just leave it on your screen it will ever so slowly slide downwards uh unfortunate as it almost hangs on even at relatively High angles the dial is very cool with its 3600 points of precision and its beautiful modern design but it feels like it's more something that will be used because it's nice and it's easy rather than because it's useful for hardcore professional use so in conclusion the surface studio is one of the most interesting product releases in my opinion of 2016 hands down and I mean that about all aspects of the experience from just opening the box and seeing how they designed their uniquely elegant product packaging all the way to the specs of the computer itself and the truly courageous and unapologetically artistic screen this is a new direction for Microsoft and one that I'm excited to see them continue to explore it's expensive but for high-end consumers it's a very cohesive experience and as for professionals I don't expect to see cinti in the garbage behind all the local design hes just yet but if the Surface Pro is anything to go by give it a generation or two and we could be looking at a very different landscape freshbook is excited to announce the launch of a new version of their Cloud
