This isn't a computer for excel\word\facebook.
The target market for this is people who buy a $1,800 wacom cintiq and pair it with a $1,000 computer.
The price is reasonable for the people it targets.
- jljljl 10y agoHonest Question: How does the actual computing hardware on the entry level Surface Studio compare to a $1000 computer?
- devopsproject 10y agoNot an exhaustive search: http://store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/business-solutions/hp-z240-tower-workstation-l8t12av-1--1 http://store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/business-solutions/hp-z240-tow... So for 1,100 you are getting half as much ram, half as much storage, and a lesser gpu. I'm sure you could spec out something similar to the internals for a few hundred less with a little bit of work.
- NetStrikeForce 10y agoComparing it to an Apple computer maybe?
- Mtinie 10y agoSlight correction, though your point stands. You would need to buy the $2,800, 27" Cintiq[1] and a new computer to compete against the Surface Studio offering. This makes the Surface Studio a more compelling offering on the surface, at least to me.

- wlesieutre 10y agoPenny Arcade's Mike Krahulik has been using one for a week and compared it to his Cintiq: > Tycho asked me to compare it to my Cintiq, and I told him that drawing on the Cintiq now felt like drawing on a piece of dirty plexiglass hovering over a CRT monitor from 1997. A bit hyperbolic, but you get the idea. https://www.penny-arcade.com/news/post/2016/10/26/the-surface-studio https://www.penny-arcade.com/news/post/2016/10/26/the-surfac...
