Is it that hard to stomach the discussion? Geezus. Just skip the forum posts if it pains you that much.
Studio is very expensive but it's also pretty niche.
The interesting thing though is that MS seems to be innovating and bringing interesting new products with interesting new ways to use them. Apple better wake up.

Credit where credit is due - that Studio looks fantastic. I have never seen a place for having a touch screen on a large display, but with the tilting right down to turn the display into a large graphics tablet does look pretty good. And the dial thing looks genuinely useful.
I can see that doing well with graphics artists as it combines something like an iMac and the larger Wacom tablets. (Assuming it works as well as a Wacom tablet that is.)

Microsoft's track record for initial releases is not the most stellar - just look at the "teething pains" they had with the Surface Book when it was released. I own one now, and its rock solid but it was a bumpy start.
Wow the Surface Studio looks amazing! (And Apple has clearly set a trend for Marketing Videos).
But their press release touting speeds over Apple is so silly. After every statement you can add "until tomorrow" and it would make much more sense.
yes, but this excuse is wearing thin...
According to Macrumours, this is utter ****.. Skylake in late 2016? Hahahahaha
I agree, the price tag is a little too high, while I love everything about the Studio, I think MS got a little greedy in setting the price so high.
I think this would have been an iMac killer at 2,000
No SSD option
Outdated Geforce 9 series 28mm GPU
Ridiculous pricing
It is going to fail hard

It's brave to stand out. Good for you.
Apple, the gauntlet has been thrown. Surface Studio is something Apple should have come up with. Gorgeous. And this is from a girl who is all-in on Apple devices, both at home and at work. Very tempting.
Well, the professional space they're really targeting are the creative professionals who are all using Wacom digitizers hooked to 5K iMacs. So having a monitor connected to a beastly tower would be a step back, actually, while this Studio may get them to ditch their Wacom tablets (depending on the real-life accuracy, which remains to be seen).

Doesn't the new SurfaceBook have a Skylake processor? Because that's the only thing with the requisite oomph Intel is putting out right now?
Those prices though...
Over $3500 for 16 GB Ram and i7 in the Surface Studio.

These look appealing but my foray into Microsoft products began and ended this year with the Microsoft band. When it comes to supporting their products, Apple takes the cake in comparison. I will be buying new MacBook Pro.
For price comparison, Wacom Cintiq 27 QHD Touch costs $2799.99 and that's just the display.
Yep, amazing how most saloon cars look pretty similar too, and buses, trucks. bikes……….
