I was just in the market for one of these cordless desktop computers! I've been saving up for a few months now and I can't wait to finally start my studies to graphic design. I have no where near enough to buy this but I gotta start somewhere. 😁 Thanks for the detailes review! I never even knew there was an option for a touchscreen option with stylus for these type of desktops.
When you are doing the review, please test being able to lean on the screen in more upright positions (like you can with Cintiqs) rather than just the lowest position when it is braced on the CPU box.
You can draw with the screen higher up but there's no locking position so there's a chance you may push it down. Anyway, there's a very easy workaround.
The thing I love about my wacom tablets is that my hand can rest on the surface and it only detects the pen movement. I think I would have a hard time not hitting this screen with my hand and making accidental changes to the drawing. Is there a way to make the screen only responsive to pen and mouse (to prevent hand swipe errors)? I look forward to your full review, this is a really awesome product.
Does it feel luxurious having that much screen real estate to play with? 💎 💰 When the very first Surface products were advertised I never thought they'd make anything that big. If it wasn't a computer it could be a desk itself lol! Thanks for the unboxing Teoh. 👍 😄
A Surface Studio 2 should last until it physically breaks down. Generally speaking, I prefer the display to be separate from the computer. If anything goes wrong, you can repair the individual item. For the Wacom, you can change your computer in the future and still use the Wacom.
Drooling. The specs look great, but worried about cooling in such a small form factor. [FYI: a MS Studio got a direct competitor at CES2019. *Might* have been a Dell.]
Its definitely a nice looking device...i don’t know how i feel about the glossy screen. The screen size is so nice. I just feel like there is a lot of delay on the drawing.
Teoh Yi Chie yes very nice unboxing video btw. Waiting for the full review . I wanna know how responsive it is to draw on. If it as good as the cintiq or ipad pro than idk maybe i would consider buying one of these
My students are all using regular Microsoft Surfaces. I found this interesting as an advanced Surface. It looks to be beyond my current range for a computer. I am curious how you feel the stylus compares to a Wacom stylus. I use a Wacom Intuos tablet, and I suspect a lot of your audience does too.
Wacom pen performance is going to be better. There's still the slight jitter when drawing diagonal lines but that really depends on the graphic software used.
Eagerly awaiting your full review! I'm interested in adding a few of these to our all Mac design studio, Seems like it would help greatly with some of our workflows.
is it just me or can you see clear lag between pen pressure and the stroke appearing on canvas? and that clicking noise every time he puts a stroke down...... eh, I don't know
It’s very ergonomic and smart but I’m on the fence when it comes to tech, (updates eat up everything) but it’s funny how they took Mac look and feel. Heh look at me I’m critiquing a computer. Oh can you try to open 2 windows while using the drawing application? Like RUclips I love to listen to videos while I draw.
please Every time test a new painting product, please paint slowly. We need to see the specific position of the pen tip. Many times the inaccurate position of the pen tip will cause me a lot of pain in painting. Please show the material and working method of the pen tip. Please compare the tip of each painting product.
For Microsoft Surface products, the cursor is usually always directly beneath the pen tip. And there's minimal gap between the screen and glass surface so parallax is not a problem.
Thank you. I don't know why. It's very demanding on the tip. If the position of the tip is not right, it will feel uncomfortable. Please take a careful photograph of the specific position and gap of the pen tip during each test. Thank you.@@teohyc
The Wacom pen performance is going to be better. 28 inch to me is already quite a massive area to draw on. Not sure what I think about 32 inches. The Wacom is just a monitor while the Surface Studio is a computer. Personally I prefer monitor and computer to be separate unless it is a laptop.
most people i've talked to prefer the experience of drawing on the ipad. that said, i have a microsoft surface pro 2017 i7. i don't use it for drawing, but i do use it for video editing, gaming, and more
@@teohyc Yes of course , but as a beginner in digital drawing , i just hop to know is it diserve to pay $1,299.00 for an ipad , and get a close resault from the microsoft surface studio 2 . i just talk about the drawing with the pan experience . i will wait for the review , thank's
saad gamrani Apple pencil is a bit more accurate (produces less jitter... actually there is no jitter at all really) and it works similar in all apps. With the Microsoft Studio on the other hand every app works differently with the Surface Pen.
Great first impressions video. I appreciate you showing a snippet of photoshop, as well as a program here it doesn't seem to be performing optimally. I personally think it is a great product but 2-3 times overpriced.
wow really cool-have got to get me one of these-but I would perfer an ios system. What about palm rejection Teoh? Also being old school do these all-in-ones today come with a dvd player too.
Why they keep making 'glossy super reflective screen' to devices that meant for artists? ... i guess Microsoft thinks that a matte screen protector is more expensive than GTX 1060. the logic is: Artists need super GPU and Gamers need full touchscreen with pressure sensitive pen display. GJ Microsoft !!
@@teohyc When you draw a line slow, it has a slightly jaded look to it, covered in other reviews. Otherwise, general performance was mediocre, like a $700 AIO desktop, and like the SS 1, it had significant backlight bleeding on the panel. Insanely overpriced, but nice looking. The aspect ratio of the screen is not good for videos or office functions because the screen is too long from top to bottom. This is only good for artists who can live with the stuttering line problem

Oh wow! How nice! Can't wait to see more!
I use mine strictly for drawing. Best decision I ever made was picking this up!
What’s it like now in 2021 ?
@@powerbookg4apple It's still a wonderful piece of hardware!
Ooh. I know what I'm saving up for this year.
woo i’m so excited for your review on this! damn 27 inch is huge. my 13.5 inch Acer Switch 7 is jealous :(
Overall I like it, possibly overpriced, I will wait for your full review. As always a great video!
Such a good looking machine!
Ayyy Finally :D
Having a hard time to decide between this and Cintiq Pro 24
It would depend on they work you do. There's still the slight jitter in certain apps whenwing diagonal lines slowly.
The Cintiq will be more future proof since Cintiqs last for years and you can upgrade/update your computer as needed.
One day...I'll be able to afford it. Maybe when the Studio 10 comes out.

The palm rejection works quite well so far. Anyway, I'll need to test it more intensively to see if stray marks will be any problems.

Omg i want surface studio too 😢 you are so lucky

It's a good size for drawing. I can draw details without much zooming.
Can't wait for the full review, can you test the accuracy of colors and display? Thanks
Colours are good. I measured 100% sRGB and 80%+ AdobeRGB.
Good unboxing.
How long would a surface studio 2 plus last? Is wacom cintiq pro 27 (2023) better in terms of lifespan?
A Surface Studio 2 should last until it physically breaks down. Generally speaking, I prefer the display to be separate from the computer. If anything goes wrong, you can repair the individual item.
For the Wacom, you can change your computer in the future and still use the Wacom.
I think I want this. Looks so good and better than an Apple Product.
this is a huge surface to draw on XD
What’s it like now in 2021 ? I heard some rumours the internal speakers are not that good ? ??? I would like to DJ on this 🎧
Would this unit be suitable to edit some 360 virtual tours ? Versus a classic, much powerful custom desktop build in a non all-in-one form.
It has a quad core 2.9Ghz so it should be doable.
the big waccom tablet just came out seen some reviews of it but some dont have the stand seems this one is better because of it
This is very nice
Drooling. The specs look great, but worried about cooling in such a small form factor.
[FYI: a MS Studio got a direct competitor at CES2019. *Might* have been a Dell.]
It runs hot but the processors are not throttled.
Its definitely a nice looking device...i don’t know how i feel about the glossy screen. The screen size is so nice. I just feel like there is a lot of delay on the drawing.
The screen is indeed very reflective. It’s best used in a room without bright lights or a huge window beside.
Teoh Yi Chie yes very nice unboxing video btw. Waiting for the full review . I wanna know how responsive it is to draw on. If it as good as the cintiq or ipad pro than idk maybe i would consider buying one of these
Test how accurate the pen is, especially when drawing slow (such as a slow straight line at an angle... does it still have jitter?)
It still has that jitter but it depends on the graphic software that is used.
My students are all using regular Microsoft Surfaces. I found this interesting as an advanced Surface. It looks to be beyond my current range for a computer.
I am curious how you feel the stylus compares to a Wacom stylus. I use a Wacom Intuos tablet, and I suspect a lot of your audience does too.

That looks like some very nice hardware. Which it should be for the $! Be interested to see if it becomes your go-to machine since you're a Mac guy.
I don’t really draw that much on screen so actually a screenless tablet for me would suffice. 😂
Eagerly awaiting your full review! I'm interested in adding a few of these to our all Mac design studio, Seems like it would help greatly with some of our workflows.
What type of work do you do?
@@teohyc we specialize in brand building, packaging design, illustration, and digital/web graphics.
Gosh m so jealous!
Saw the price and literally went "Wooooooooowwwwhhh!!"
Do you get to keep it ??
No. I've got to return this after two weeks.
@@teohyc shucks ... too bad.
is it just me or can you see clear lag between pen pressure and the stroke appearing on canvas? and that clicking noise every time he puts a stroke down...... eh, I don't know
How much this?

Oh can you try to open 2 windows while using the drawing application? Like RUclips I love to listen to videos while I draw.
You can certainly open up two apps or more at the same time. No problems. It's a desktop OS after all.
WOW $3,500 price tag. Can keep it, I will save my money.
Maybe they're charging by the inch/centimeter. 😉
IF it is a decent computer and at least on par with a cintiq then its cheap for 3500 cause it combines 2 in 1.

Gosh darn...Wish my budget could justify buying this...
It’s looks beautiful but so expensive. Looks a lot like an apple product
Its looks like except apple products doesn't support pen, touch, adjustable display, dail, and ….. LoL
It looke nothing like apple products, apple wishes they had this design and engineering quality.
please don't mention apple again.
With such a heavy price tag, MS don't even bother to include a dial?
im going to be 18 years old when i buy this
the drawing , is It Better than the Ipad Pro ???
That is a very difficult question to answer as they are very different devices.

@@saadgamrani7451 then get the iPad 2018 non pro plus the pencil. Works great and is a fraction of the cost.
What about a 120 Hz refresh rate? Only on Ipad Pros still?
It's a 60Hz screen.
To much expensive for me :-( but nice video, thanks :-)
OMG!!!
Did anyone else notice that the keyboard and mouse designs are ALMOST EXACTLY like Apple's keyboard and mouse???
Great first impressions video. I appreciate you showing a snippet of photoshop, as well as a program here it doesn't seem to be performing optimally. I personally think it is a great product but 2-3 times overpriced.

Matte glass screen will affect the sharpness and colours. But this screen is indeed very reflective
They want your soul for this thing
Or one's first born child lol. Hmmm I wonder many Copic markers my first born child would be worth.
It will be nice if it has free batery pen
The battery in Surface Pen lasts at least six months
Just sell the monitor separately.
I hope they do so. I'm sure there will be people who will buy it.
I wanted but don't want to pay for it
