Microsoft just announced Surface Studio, its first All-in-one PC at its New York City event, as expected. The Surface Studio has a 28-inch 4.5k Ultra HD PixelSense multi-touch display. Microsoft says that this delivers 63% more pixels than a state-of-the-art 4K TV. It features a counterbalanced hinge to easily switch Desktop Mod and Studio Mode. It also comes with a Surface Pen, Surface Keyboard and Surface Mouse.
Microsoft has also introduced Surface Dial, a new input device designed for the creative process, enabling you to work with both of your hands. It integrates with Windows 10 to work with any Surface device for a faster and more intuitive way to scroll, zoom, and navigate. It also enables a set of unique experiences exclusive to Surface Studio, such as app-specific digital tools that allow you to quickly access shortcuts and move seamlessly through your workflow.
