 Hey guys, this is Tom with The Verge and I'm here in New York City checking out Microsoft's new Surface Studio. Now we were kind of expecting Microsoft to do an all-in-one PC and that's kind of what they've done but it's a little bit more than just a normal regular PC. Let's start with the basics though. 28-inch display on the front of here. Microsoft's picked an interesting aspect ratio, it's 3 by 2, it's pretty much the same as the Surface Book and the Surface Pro 4 and they've done that because basically they want it to be true to life. If you're working in digital documents on it, you'll see the actual A4 size and what it's going to print like. In terms of the actual hardware, it's super thin. I think it's about 13 mil thin but it's like literally super paper thin. And then in terms of the actual hardware, I think a lot of the components are actually in the base here. There's a NVIDIA GPU, they've got the 980M, I think there's an option to also have the 965M as well and it's 32 gig of memory, a quad-core Intel Core i5 or i7 and so pretty much what you'd expect from an all-in-one PC. What really makes the Surface Studio shine is this new Surface Dial. It's a new accessory, it works with the Surface Book and the Surface Pro 4 but it really works the best on the Surface Studio and I'll show you how it works right now. So combined with the Surface Studio and the display is a new hinge that allows you to basically push it almost flat to the desk. It's at a specific angle so that it's obviously more comfortable to draw on. So what gets really interesting is if I place this in the Sketchable app, what you'll see is you get a relevant menu to whatever you're doing. So at the moment I'm inking and I can dial it around and it will change the colors and flow them in just as I'm inking regularly here. You can do all sorts of other stuff so I can go into the pen options here, change the feather, I can change the diameter. So it's really interesting how this third accessory complements the pen, the mouse and the keyboard and touch input and it kind of just sits there as your little sort of like buddy in the corner being able to change advanced options whilst you're drawing. But yeah, this is literally a PC that's clearly designed for creatives. Microsoft's really going for that part of the market with its Surface devices in general but this is like a big play for 3D creativity and that kind of thing. It's supposed to start shipping around November to December time in limited qualities. Microsoft's charging nearly $3,000 for this particular device and there's going to be more coming next year. But yeah, this is the Surface Studio and it's the first quick look at Microsoft's new creativity device.
