Yes, its high-quality display and an intriguing set of peripherals will definitely attract attention, but it’s more a workstation than a home PC. Its price is prohibitive, and accessories – not the best, the best, but at the soulful Microsoft Surface Studio, perhaps the coolest display, which only installed in the computer class “all-in-one.”
The soulful Microsoft Surface Studio aggressively broke into the territory that belonged only to Apple – it combines elegant design, as well as a huge, beautiful display and, of course, an incredibly high price. We were able to examine live the first desktop PC from Microsoft soon after his presentation, which was held on Wednesday morning. That’s what caught my eye during a demonstration.
Although the specification of new items is somewhat behind the most advanced computers, in fact, the system was fast and responsive. The base configuration for $ 2999 installed Intel Core i5 processor is the sixth generation (Skylake), graphics card nVidia GeForce GTX 965M with 2 GB of memory, the hybrid drive capacity of 1 TB, and 8 GB of RAM. The most expensive model costs $ 4199 and is already working on a Core i7 processor, the sixth generation, has 32 GB of RAM, as well as GTX980M graphics card with 2 TB of disk storage.
THE FIRST THING THAT GETS HOLD OF YOUR ATTENTION – IT’S A FANTASTIC DISPLAY
What we like most about the soulful Microsoft Surface Studio – is the transformation of the device from a simple workstation literally an easel for creativity and sharing of content. A pair of hinges delicately holds a massive 28-inch display with a resolution of PixelSense 4500 x 3000, allowing you to change its position from almost vertical to almost horizontal (by which is understood the angle just 20 degrees). The display itself can work with color settings Adobe sRGB and DCI-P3, and each matrix is individually color calibrated. If the computer case is a drawback is the lack of any other positioning functions. That is, you will not find any way to raise it above, except that the back it a book or a special stand
Although the soulful Microsoft Surface Studio is designed to work, we did find one nice aspect of the work: the display is so large, and resolution – high enough so that you can work with 4 different windows in each of the corners of the screen. Of course, you can do it with any display that is connected to a PC with Windows 10. But the space that provides screen Surface Studio, does this approach really practical and does not require to compromise with visualization.
Surface Studio is equipped with a standard stylus Surface Pen, as well as an updated Microsoft Sculpt mouse and keyboard brand, made in gray, as well as the computer itself. These peripheral devices, however, are not ideal (do not worry – you can replace them with your own mouse and keyboard). The mouse is made flatter, but this is important only if you prefer a relief model. We also hoped that the keyboard is a bit more like the Surface Book, and not on a removable keyboard tablet Surface. Therefore, both devices look like cheap plastic holders, set in a luxury car.
MICROSOFT SURFACE STUDIO MOUSE
Dial, however, it does look intriguing. Optional accessory for $ 99 adds keyboard and mouse and allows quick access to pre-create a shortcut while having a view of a hockey puck.
Although Surface Studio does not have the modular functionality that was included in the patent application, the desktop-tablet has a 5-megapixel front camera and dual microphones. And that’s why the voice call to the assistant Windows 10 (Hey, Cortana!) Worked surprisingly well, despite the abundance of people talking in the demonstration room. But the camera, unfortunately, we were not able to assess.
And we do not believe in loyalty to Microsoft decision to postpone the expansion of the port in the base unit. In fact, Microsoft just took Surface Hub and attach it to a standard motherboard, enclosed in plastic. As a result, there is 4 port Studio USB 3.0, they are located in the base itself, but the look back, making any connection device currently torment. The computer also has an SD card reader and headphone jack cards, but both of them, of course, again, are back. Unlike the Surface tablet, the device does not have the USB port on the side of the screen, and we it will be sorely missed. Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11ac complete set of interfaces Surface Studio.
What, the soulful Microsoft Surface Studio – it really is an amazing device, and we can not wait until we are able to take it on a long test. But most people do not need such a gadget. Microsoft definitely targeting the creative community, which usually prefers to Macintosh computers. And it’s very interesting how many people actually dare to make the transition, and the decision to buy from Redmond.
