Microsoft Surface Studio review

Love at first sight

Seamlessly transitions between modes ; The best and biggest digital drawing board ; Impeccable build quality

All rearward ports ; Pricey proposition for most

The Surface Studio is a most impressive desktop that has already shaken up the all-in-one PC landscape. However, its exorbitant price makes it an extravagant investment for everyone but artists and illustrators.

Microsoft Surface Studio: A stunning all-in-one PC that doubles as a drafting table

Microsoft is taking a page out of Apple's playbook by catering to creators. If you get the Surface Studio for your home, there is a good chance you won't have any pens, paper, paint, or any other art supplies still around, because you won't need them....

Microsoft Surface Studio review

Perfect it ain't - but the mother of all Surfaces is still one of the most desirable objects we've seen in years

Glorious screen ; Flexible design makes it easy to use ; A true object of beauty

Not enough power for high-end gaming ; High price - and stingy approach to extras ; Some Windows 10 glitches

The Surface Studio's stunning design and sheer audacity help it overcome its flaws to stand out as one of 2017's most exciting new products

Surface Studio vs 2017 iMac

Two of the best all-in-one PCs on the planet are the new Apple iMac and Microsoft's Surface Studio, but how to they compare on price, design and specs? Here's our Surface Studio vs 2017 iMac comparison review.

The iMac is a tough all-in-one to beat and with Microsoft going in at even higher price doesn’t help. Whether it’s worth paying extra for the Surface Studio largely comes down to whether you’ll benefit from it’s flexible design, touchscreen, the...

Microsoft Surface Studio review: a pricey desktop that can teach iMac a few good tricks

With a hinged 28-inch screen, stylus pen and a wireless control dial, the Surface Studio wants to be your all-in-one art department.

The Surface Studio has a fantastic 28-inch screen with excellent color, mounted on smooth hinges that fold down to an artist-friendly angle. The excellent Surface Pen stylus returns and the new Surface Dial shows promise. Every model has good-to-great...

Surface Studio is extremely expensive, and doesn't include the flashy Dial accessory by default. It skips newer graphics chips that support VR hardware. Support for the Dial is limited right now, and even compatible programs don't always use it in a...

Microsoft's ambitious love letter to creative professionals is the touchscreen iMac of your dreams -- albeit crazy expensive and running Windows.

Hands on: Surface Studio

Is Microsoft's all-in-one desktop the touchscreen iMac you've been waiting for?

Amazing screen ; Fantastic build quality ; 10-point multi-touch and Surface Pen support

Expensive ; Surface Dial is extra ; Not enough Surface Dial support from apps

The specs aren’t earth-shattering, but in use the Surface Studio is wonderful. The screen is beautiful and being able to tilt it to pretty much any angle in an instant will have creatives hankering for it.

Microsoft Surface Studio review

(Rating Hidden)

The Microsoft Surface Studio is the company's foray into the all-in-one PC market, and judging by the specifications and sleek design, it wants to tempt away Apple iMac users. It comes at a price, and is squarely designed at professionals. We take a...

Microsoft Surface Studio review: An extraordinary all-in-one PC with a price to match

A fantastic, enormous all-in-one that's much more than an iMac wannabe

Gorgeous screen; Attractive design

Laptop-grade GPU; Very expensive; No SSD option

The Surface Studio's huge high-res screen makes it perfect for artists and graphic designers, but a steep pricetag means it's firmly for professionals only

Microsoft Surface Studio review: A big, beautiful all-in-one

The Surface Studio is a whole lot of computer, with a whole lot of price tag

If I were allowed to run through a PC World in a Supermarket Sweep style scenario where I was allowed to grab anything I wanted without paying, the Surface Studio would be one of the first items in my trolley. It’s brilliant and I want one, even if...
