Microsoft Surface Studio User Story Review
Microsoft Surface Studio is in all-in-one computer featuring a massive 28-inch touchscreen mounted to a base incorporating the actual computer components. The new device designed for the creative process can position upright to sketch, paint, and edit photos and can be laid down to draw on. Alex Schwindt discusses the new Microsoft Surface Studio, don't miss it here!
For the most part, computers are computers. Maybe one has a bit more of this or less of that, but the differences are usually under the hood and incremental in nature. So when a company like Microsoft makes a serious attempt to completely redefine the nature of how we see and interact with a desktop computer it commands attention. The Microsoft Surface Studio is exactly that kind of machine, and we couldn’t be more excited about it.
REDEFINING THE BOUNDARIES
For the past 20 years or so Apple computers have been the standard go-to machines for people involved in creative content and performance worlds. It’s not hyperbole to say that Apple has owned the creative space during that time period.

What’s immediately apparent is that the Surface Studio is really all about the display. It’s a 28-inch touchscreen featuring a 4K+ resolution (4500x3000), 10-bit color and a pixel density of 192 DPI. That translates to 13.5 million pixels, which should deliver fantastic image clarity when working from only a few inches away. [Continue Reading...]
