Just got this computer, I've used it for about 3 weeks now. And it is the best computer I've ever had. hands down, its incredible. I've always been an apple user, and I don't miss apples OS at all.

I think the only negative point is the Sound, its not great. but that's it.

I'm in love. I just wish love wasn't so expensive. Awesome review, Teoh - the best I've seen. Thank you! The Studio 2 is preventing itself from overheating/throttling, which is why you get can't get the full turbo speed. It's a reasonable compromise as you'd experience a yo-yo effect in performance otherwise. To get full turbo performance requires a much bigger cooling system.

3.4Ghz from the possible 3.9Ghz is still pretty good.

I like the clean setup

When it comes to the screen it seems to be the Microsoft REALLY thought about individuals who will be using a pen to make their work. It can do some medium to light gaming when you need a break. Good job Microsoft. unfortunately for the price, you could get a Cintiq and a faster desktop computer for less and potentially better performance and repairability when/if it breaks, unlike this which I guess is FAR more difficult and expensive to repair. I think that is super important for many self-employed professionals, we live and die by our tools and to have to replace an entire device because doing so is cheaper than repairing an old one can be annoying, to say the least. Fortunately, I've heard and had nothing but good experiences with Microsoft when it comes to replacing surface products at a Microsoft store.

I can't wait until I'm able to get the surface studio 2 or any others that end up having before I get it lol I love the way it looks and works the subtle issues like the screen sliding a little from weight or the jitters never bothered me. I have the surface pro 6 and it slides when I put weight on it as well. I never liked it when products stay in one place cause I tend to get aches after a while and I like to be up I the face of the screen anyways. Probably why I got glasses now. What I don't like is when screens are glossy so it looks like I gonna have to look for a matte screen protector and I hate the feel of the surface pen so I bought the Wacom bamboo ink pen instead since I'm used to those.

Another table with a computer in it lol. Well it might as well be a table as big as it is. Great review Teoh! 👍 😄 Thanks.

This is the perfect device for digital drawing and get everything right, except the things that matters the most, pen input and touch. Jitter and lag is just ok at this price point.

I'd assume so. I know for my Cintiq it sometimes gives trouble though usually fine. But gets annoying when it sometimes messes up and draws lines thinking my touch is the pen despite having the pen close to the screen. It's rare though. But has happened a bit over the past few weeks especially for some reason

Something I have noticed is that on Adobe Apps, if the Canvas is bigger than the screen resolution the jitter occurs, when the canvas is smaller, there is no perceivable jitter. Has anyone experienced something similar?

can i have a link on your image you used as color calibration? thanks.

i wonder how many of you seeking an in depth review and really buying the surface studio?

What programs do you use?

I feel like it's a lot more the wow factor. Practically speaking it's much more enjoyable to draw on a small screen like the surface pro or iPad. For my desktop much rather like to have a PC with upgradable parts and a ultra wide monitor dedicated for photo editing

Now, as far as what kind of pen technology it is, it's an active pen with like 4096 levels of pressure and tilt control. If you ever try any of the more recent Surface devices, they currently all use the same pen tech, as well as the same pen. (aside from the Surface Hub. That thing uses something else.)

This is an old model now. Generally speaking for desktop computers, I don't really recommend getting all-in-ones. You usually get better devices when they are separate, and at better pricing. I recommend you go with a pen display (e.g. Wacom, Huion, XPPen, etc) and a mini computer (e.g. M1 Mac Mini or other mini Windows PC). They will work the same as this Surface Studio. EXCEPT most pen displays do not support touchscreen so if you need touchscreen you have to find one that does.

I never really find the need to upgrade the CPU, GPU or any internals with incremental upgrades since it ends up simply not worth the cost. But big at the start. That said the problem I see with this system is the resell value in 5 years. I do wish systems like this were more modular.

With no news about a Surface Studio 3, is it still worth buying this pc in your opinion?
