Microsoft Unleashes the Stunning Surface Studio at Windows 10 Event

October 27, 2016

Microsoft’s Windows 10 event in Manhattan on Wednesday was packed with lots of great announcements particularly for creative artists and designers using Microsoft’s products. Apart from an upgraded Surface Book and a Creators Update of Windows 10 (coming in Spring 2017), there was the all new Surface Studio which probably blew away everyone’s mind. Let’s take a look at what the Surface Studio is all about!

All About the Surface Studio

The Surface Studio is an innovative hybrid device with a 28” Ultra HD screen that can be used like a drawing board or placed in an upright position to work on. It features the world’s thinnest LCD screen yet, with the PixelSense™ Display, offering a resolution higher than 4K (63% pixels more). Its 10-bit color depth makes everything on its 28 inch screen stand out even from a distance.

In the Studio mode, the Zero Gravity Hinge lets you move the display smoothly from an upright position to a slant to appear like a canvas. In this mode, you can use the display like a drawing board to write or draw on.

The Surface Studio is also a very powerful device, ideal for running professional-grade software like Adobe Premiere Pro or Autodesk. That’s not all! Gamers with Xbox Wireless Controllers can also connect to the Surface Studio to play all their favorite video games comfortably.

The Surface Pen

Also included in the box is the Surface Pen ($59.99), which works on the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book. It offers 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity so you can write, markup, or sketch naturally on the display. It can even convert your handwriting to text via OneNote, snap a picture of something you are working on the screen, connect to Cortana to view and set reminders and highlight stuff in PDFs and Kindle eBooks. The Pen has a 12 month battery life.

The Surface Dial

Microsoft also introduced another new peripheral device, the Surface Dial ($99.99) specifically designed for video and audio editors and graphical artists to navigate the display easily. The dial can be placed on the table or directly on the screen to interact with the Surface Studio. Pressing and holing the dial will open up a radial menu of apps needed for your work. For instance, the dial lets you adjust the volume of your Groove music, tilt your Windows maps to a 3D view, access the drawing tools and so on. Its also lets you scroll, zoom in, and navigate around the Studio interface easily.
