You didn't find 50% of the presenters boring? Meyerson & Nadella are especially guilty of blathering nonsense fluff. Panos as usual was the high point.

Indeed, still for mine the epitome of design. Right down to the fact that when they shipped the 20" model, they had to add weight to the base in order for it to hold up the screen - that sacrifice for the sake of design is something Apple has long since lost, with the slimming binge they've been on ever since.
Very, very cool ad and product in this Surface Studio. Crazy price, but if they made that base upgradeable, even fully swappable, that screen looks fantastic and would be a great investment. The way of the future even. I think we can be fairly sure that whatever Macs come when you guys finally get to the 27th, hurry up it is already 9 hours old, it will not have touch, and that is just bizarre to me when looking at this Surface lineup. On the positive, it should run Windows
125.000 ipods in 60 days!!
Never!!! I love my Yoga Pro.
I like my ThinkPad T440S too, but they serve different purposes.
because its not about CPU anymore its about graphics power scree, and battery life.. we are at a point now where CPU's really cant get much faster just more efficient
after using a surface PRO i never touched another ipad and i love apple
I can agree with the reviews comment.
I think this looks fantastic, but it must perform...
Its a very good digital canvas supporting Adobe CS software. Good luck with candy crush on ios--thats a great tablet!
Maybe it's just my country being better off, but I wouldn't describe the Apple buying market here as being affluent. I'm certainly not and I have several Apple devices. To me, Apple is middle class these days.
Apple aims for the low-premium & high-premium markets. Hence the 21.5" iMac, Mac Mini. 27" iMac & Mac Pro are for the people with more cash.
MS is saying with this that they are strictly after the high-premium market. Even Surface Book is in that category.
Im really looking out for Tim's snooze fest party tomorrow. Where The MacBookpro, which have been around on rumorsites for months now, are the only computer related things being introduced now. Same price, little bit better specs and magic band are the things that took them 5 years to make.
They won't introduce new iMacs tomorrow because the surface studio overshadows it.
If Microsoft and Adobe work closely together they would put the final nail in Apple's computer coffin
I'm not sure who these frazzled people are. I was asking you what similarities you see. Pretty simple. Genuinely curious since you've said there were similarities but never stated what those similarities are.
Surface Studio aside, this sort of design is what I expect from AIOs these days. Slim screens that strike a defining silhouette (because technology allows for it), with flat bases where most of the computer components rest. AIOs with bulging rears are out of style, IMO.
From The Verge:
Of course, Apple's own iMac G4 now looks extremely prescient in retrospect:

the only reason i am still using apple is, it is cheaper than MS
My SP4 has pretty much taken over all productivity tasks I used to use my late 2011 MBP for; Office, OneNote+stylus, highly portable. Microsoft lost me to mac back in 2003 when PC, XP & Office 2003 made for a wretched, awful experience. Who'd've thought that company would now have essentially have won me back with killer hardware, software and experience with SP4?
And I seriously WANT a Studio. Have no real need (desktop is SP4 in a dock plus KMM), can't afford one but this the Studio oozes appeal in the way that the Mac Pro and Cinema Display used to appeal. Hopefully Apple can provide a compelling reason to upgrade from the late 2011 MBP I'm writing this on, pretty much a sofa surfing and iTunes library machine now. But Microsoft have and continue to raise the bar on the desktop/productivity space that was Apple's alone not so long ago.
Your move Apple.

As I'm watching MS event (they already have it recorded for those who missed it), in a philosophical way, not being locked in with ecosystem tells me a lot about where/how the visions come about. It's more of "freedom" to expand. I gotta hand it to them. I'm not sure how "ecosystem" MS are...but they definitely are not afraid to move forward.
For Apple, it's more of "beauty than brain" type of company. I guess being locked into the system kinda portrays "insecurity" when it comes to vision. But..this is my opinion. Reaching out to cars goes beyond their core mission...to provide a way to improve work (creativity work/school work/..healthcare).

I really really hope that Apple nails it tomorrow and blows the Surface Pro off the planet. But, I really don't expect it. And if Apple does not blow the Surface Pro off the planet, then I hope a lot of people in the audience have the courage to stand up and boo. Either innovate now Apple or face the music. I need to buy computers and I am not buying low end over priced crap just because it has an Apple logo.
The Macrumors forums have been filled to the brim with complaints about Apple not using non-existent Kaby Lake chips.
For the first time in my life I am tempted in buying a Surface..........
I beg to differ, tell that to the drive I have here and tell that to several people I communicate with on the Darkweb, they'll laugh at you, Windows 10 is the same garbage its always been just with more make up on. In no way am I saying that MacOS is perfect neither, but .... I have more sploits for Windows than any other OS.
Bite me. No, I am saying that Apple did not invent all-in-ones, but they happily marketed one that had the computer in the base, not the screen.
I agree. Those guys at Apple have to be SCARED, and fear.
Who uses thunderbolt these days? It's another attempt from Apple to lure you into expensive peripherals. It's going the same way as FireWire.
