Microsoft launches Surface Studio – Vanguardia Liberal

Microsoft introduced and launched pre-order a computer designed especially for artists and creators of audiovisual content. The equipment, though costly, promises to revolutionize this industry.

it is Not economic: your version is less expensive, is of 3 thousand dollars, and there are versions of 3 500 thousand and 4 thousand 200 dollars available. This is the new computer of Microsoft created specifically for graphic designers and creative visual arts, which can preordenarse from today and account with the LCD screen, the world’s thinnest, the Surface Studio PC.

Is a powerful machine,

don’t be fooled by the thinness of the Surface Studio: having the appearance of a tablet agigantada does not have the power of a mobile device.

The PC comes with processor Intel Core i5 or Core i7 processors of the sixth generation, and card of graphics acceleration of Nvidia GeForce GTX reference 965M or 980M. That 'M' at the end is important; the chips of graphics acceleration are the same as those used in laptop computers, more slender and efficient, but less powerful than your version for desktop computers.

The model 980M, however, you must be able to handle any design application.

The cheaper version of the Surface Studio comes with 8 GB of RAM, up to 16 GB and 32 GB versions are more expensive, and are accompanied by a hard disk with a capacity to store 1 or 2 Terabytes, and with a section of the solid state where the operating system is installed.

that Is to say: although it has a large storage capacity, the computer will have a power extremely fast, and your applications will open.

in this regard, Panos Panay, chief of Microsoft devices, insists that the COMPUTER "changes the way one produces, creates and learns," though the cost of the machine makes it an unlikely learning tool, especially when you take into account that the most expensive is the chip, a graphic processing of a high caliber.

add-Ons

To understand why Panay considers that the new computer of Microsoft is revolutionary, we have to analyze two things.

The first is the monitor with 13 and a half million pixels that has the device, which in addition to being ultra-thin is color expanded, a need for photographers, designers and video editors.

Microsoft calls this technology, TrueColor, and complimented with an aluminum body and a base with foldable bearing support arms that allow you to tilt it quickly and easily.

The second are the devices that accompany it. In the case of a Surface Studio come with a keyboard and wireless mouse, and a estilógrafo high-precision digital.

And for $ 100 more, it is possible to buy a Surface Dial; one-touch button that interacts with the screen to facilitate many processes that would otherwise require movements and extra touches.

Microsoft will bet on the creative

of course: the functionality of hardware such as the Surface Dial depends on the software on the computer; new applications can take advantage of the button in different ways and to increase their potential.

in the meantime, Microsoft has done what yours including in the device a system for the detection of hands, which makes it possible to support the hand against the device without triggering actions by mistake.

The company has also updated its core apps in Windows 10, the system that comes with the Sufrace Studio, to create 3D content that is increasingly easy. This renovation included Microsoft Paint, but is not limited to this application. The company has made a commitment to the creation of audiovisual content that not only explains the existence of the Surface Studio, but that gives more strength to the new PC.

USB Ports, Ethernet and SD in the computer to complement it well, making sure that it is a computer so beneficial for the work flow as to the artistic creation.

NO MORE VINE

Twitter bought Vine in 2012 by around $ 30 million. The social network of microblogging acquired the service of microvideos before it was officially released.

In 2016, the service has less users and its creators with more followers have left of post content, or have deleted their account.

Facebook, Instagram and YouTube are the social networks where the creators most popular Vine been migrated, possibly because there are no restrictions and because of the popularity of the format Came as such has declined.

In terms of Twitter, the closure of Vine is probably due to the harder to rekindle the interest in the platform and monetizarla. The revelation that I Came to not accept any more new videos in a few weeks arrived with the news that Twitter will bounce to 9% of its labour force; 300 workers in different parts of the planet will no longer work for the company.

The news aroused rumors about the future of Twitter as such, and the possibility that another company will purchase the service in the coming months. Among the list of possible stakeholders are Disney, SoftBank, Google, and Salesforce.

The videos that are already on the platform of Vine will continue to be available during the next few months, said Twitter. The mobile app lets you upload videos to the platform, however, it will disappear.
