The Surface Studio has a thin touch-sensitive LCD screen 28 inch, and 13.5 million of pixels that tilts up to 20 degrees. It is used with a digital pen and a small dial of aluminum, which allows, for example, change of color without lifting the pen.
"Has the best screen, and has class," said Panos Panay, creator of the line Surface and vice-president of Microsoft products, as it is presented in an anticipated event that generated excitement and buzz in the world of technology. "RIP iMac", it said of some lovers of the technology on Twitter. "Easily a killer of the iMac and the MacPro," said another.
The new computer will cost 2 thousand $ 999 and will be available from Christmas.
"we built for professionals, you have to transform the way you work, that you believe, is going to help you produce. Is made so that you can immerse yourself in the content that you create," said its creator. "Is the PC most beautiful there is", he added.
on the other hand, the new version of its computer-laptop, the Surface Book i7 processors, doubles the performance of the previous one, with a battery with 16 hours of battery life, and is, according to Panay, "the laptop is more powerful that exists in the market", which will be on sale from November 2 mil $ 399.
"The new laptop will have a 30 percent more battery life than the previous (…) No other mobile product provides this type of battery life and performance on graphics", praised the technology expert Patrick Moorhead.
virtual Reality
Microsoft also revealed that from the beginning of 2017 will have a new update for your software Windows 10, which, among other things, allow its users to become creators of 3D objects, scan them, print them, and share them on social networks.
The new "Windows 10 Creators Update" will be available from the spring to the 400 million people who already have Windows 10, free of charge, as well as all of the products Surface from Microsoft.
The updated program includes a 3D version of your classic Paint that will allow you to "make the journey from the 2D to the 3D," said the general manager of Microsoft, Megan Saunders.
"We are doing the creating in the third dimension is easy for all," he said while he showed how a castle made in the sand by his daughters turned into a 3D object, modified drawings and emojis custom, and then in hologram shared with a new community of creators is three-dimensional.
The new Windows 10 will allow to develop new virtual reality goggles, Hololens, that will be sold from $ 299, a price much lower than the current. With different applications, users may have an experience of mixed reality —virtual or augmented—.
For example, the Hololens can be used to visit other countries of the world without leaving your home with the application HoloTour, or to see if a given piece of furniture is well at home before you buy it, thanks to the use of holograms, which has the potential to revolutionize the experience of shopping. Or even to place 3D creations in the real world.
"Microsoft is the leadership in this area", said the expert Moorhead. The companies that will be able to make the Hololens are HP, Dell, Lenovo, Asus and Acer.
With Windows 10, users will be able to stream live games over the internet to friends and to a community of followers. You can also choose the five closest people to have a direct connection with, avoiding their phone calls, emails, or messages may be lost.
