Microsoft Unveils $2,999 Surface Studio

Microsoft Unveils $2,999 Surface Studio

Ahead of an Apple event Microsoft announced the Surface Studio. A 28-inch All-in-one desktop PC that mixes the popular tablet while being with a desktop for consumers. It uses a super slim 12.5mm touchscreen display, according to Microsoft the world's thinnest LCD monitor.

The 13.5 million pixels 4500x3000 resolution display (3:2) display features "TrueColor" technology aimed at filmmakers and photographers, report techtimes. The Surface Studio is equipped with a quad-core i7 processor, a NVIDIA 980M GPU, 2 TB hard drive and 32 GB of RAM.

It also has four USB 3.0 ports, with slots for a SD card, Mini DisplayPort, audio and ethernet cables. Along with its 2.1 surround sound speakers that are located in the front of the display, the PC also comes with a microphone so that the consumer can use Cortana from across the room to increase their productivity. The Surface Studio features a hinge (made up of two chrome arms that make up the base) that allows it to be folded down nearly flat with a push. It's ability to change orientation transforms it from being just another desktop PC to essentially a large tablet, as the desk turns into an art studio with the desktop becoming a virtual piece of paper or creative space. 

This feature is ideal for marking up Word documents or creating 3D content with its update to the Paint app that is now being called Paint 3D. This means the touchscreen on this PC also works with the Surface Pen, but Microsoft also announced a new gadget called the Surface Dial, which is a creative tool that works on the screen of the Studio and triggers menus like screen brightness or scrolling—ideal for artists, designers, architects and the like.

Why on Earth 980M???
Of course margins will be a couple of dollars smaller, but 1080 makes way much more sense.

It's a cool and slick design, but that price range is vomit inducing! :puke:

What are you talking about? The Mac Pro can play Solitaire and Pinball just fine.
