Have Microsoft really reinvented the PC ?
At first glance, the Surface Studio is a stunner,
featuring what Microsoft claims is the world’s thinnest
LCD screen. The all-aluminum body is sleek—the
inspiration from the Apple iMac is undeniable—and
comprises a 28-inch screen with aluminum legs and a
small base that holds most of the components and many
ports: audio, SD, Mini DP, Ethernet, and USB 3.0.
At $2,999 for the main SKU, the Studio is very
expensive. But it’s a high-quality device whose target
market is creative professionals; one of those pros, a
comic artist, was on stage and in the demo room after
the unveiling of the Surface Studio to explain its
benefits. So yes, it’s pricey, but the same people who
currently use an iMac could make even better use of the
Studio. Furthermore, one expensive all-in-one device
may end up saving you money, since you won’t have to
buy multiple products (drawing tablet, PC, and display)
to do the same job.
In theory, the Studio merges a powerful artist’s work
PC with digital drawing tools. Even my admittedly
unartistic hands (that became all the more clear after
watching the comic artist) could tell that this is a tool
that dedicated professionals will see as worth its hefty
price tag. It’s also conceivable that a design studio or
architectural firm will purchase these devices for
employees, mitigating the price.
The touch-screen display has a PixelSense resolution of 4,500 by 3,000,
which includes 63 percent more pixels than a 4K television. The 5K 2015 iMac,
for comparison, features a resolution of 5,210 by 2,880. Up close, the quality of
the Studio screen really shines, with an incredibly crisp, vibrant, and responsive
picture that’s clearly suited to the creative types Microsoft is targeting. The 3:2
ratio with 192ppi furthers this aim, with one inch on the screen representing
one inch in real life, as Microsoft devices lead Panos Panay demonstrated by
holding up a sheet of paper to the screen during the press conference.
Not using 16:9 might make it a little more difficult for the video editors out
there, but the benefits for drawing and modeling, where the Studio really seems
focused, are clear. It leans back easily and folds down very smoothly—a pretty
seamless transition from an upright setup to a format more akin to a physical
studio. This should help artists imagine and create designs, and it’s pretty
evident that drawing, sketching, and shading on this screen will be intuitive and
useful.
The huge screen feels like a great canvas—some sketching software was pulled
up for demo—and I also got to try out the Surface Dial. This $99 product
(which, unlike the Surface Pen, does not come included) is placed on the screen
and gives you really intuitive and intriguing physical control over a digital
interface. A radial wheel appears around the Dial when you place it on the
screen; twist to peruse and select options. This includes simple tasks like
volume and copy, but it can be used for more, such as a color wheel for on-the-
fly adjustments. The Dial also works with any Surface devices from the Pro 3
and beyond, which is good news for anyone interested in the Dial and other
Surface hardware who can’t quite afford the Studio.
The inclusion of a Nvidia GeForce GTX 980Mgraphics processor strikes me as a little strange, giventhat it’s part of the mobile line and not a desktop card,but there’s not much space for a full-size card given thethin screen and small base. That said, Nvidia 10-seriesPascal cards are available in laptops and desktops,providing more power than ever before so this istechnically already behind the curve before it’savailable. It should provide the power needed for most,as the 980M is a strong card, and it will be helped by aCore i7 processor and 32GB of memory, but I did seesome slowdown while zoomed in on and rotating adetailed object. A GTX 1080 would probably beoverboard for a portion of users, but a 1070 or 1060would make this a nearly unbeatable (though even moreexpensive) desktop. The line has to be drawnsomewhere in terms of price, and the system may havebeen in development before those additions wereplausible.The Surface Studio is truly exciting and innovative,and although professional artists are a niche, relativelyspeaking, this machine’s features and high-qualitydesign offer some clear advantages that are currentlyunmatched by other hardware.
