Microsoft introduces Surface Studio, Windows 10 Creators Update
Steve Shen, DIGITIMES, Taipei [Friday 28 October 2016]

Microsoft has unveiled a series of new products, including Surface Studio, Surface Dial and a more powerful Surface Book and plans to launch the Windows 10 Creators Update in early 2017 to enable anyone to create, share and experience in 3D and mixed reality.

Expanding the Surface family, Surface Studio is a new class of device that transforms from a workstation into a powerful digital canvas, said the software giant.

With a Ultra-HD 4.5K 28-inch screen, Surface Studio delivers 63% more pixels than a 4K TV. Surface Studio works with pen, touch and Surface Dial – a new input device designed for the creative process that lets the user use two hands on the screen to compose and create, Microsoft claimed.

The Surface Studio also features Intel’s 6-generation Core processors, accelerated by a discrete Nvidia GeForce GPU.

Surface Studio starts at US$2,999 and is available for pre-order immediately in the U.S. through Microsoft Stores.

Surface Dial is a new peripheral designed for the creative process. It integrates with Windows 10 to work with Surface for a faster and more intuitive way to scroll, zoom and navigate. Surface Dial is available for pre-order at US$99

Microsoft also introduced Surface Book with Performance Base. The three new Surface Book models feature Intel Core i7 processors and pack more than twice the graphics processing power as the original Surface Book.

With Surface Book with Performance Base, engineers can spin 3D CAD models with thousands of parts, designers and developers can render large files quickly, and gamers can play more of their favorite games. Surface Book with Performance Base starts at US$2,399.

Microsoft announced that HP, Lenovo, Dell, Acer and ASUS will ship the first VR headsets capable of mixed reality through the Creators Update. Coming in 2017, these accessories will contain built-in sensors to enable inside-out, six-degrees of freedom for simplified setup and to more easily move around your home as you experience virtual worlds – no markers required, Microsoft said.
