Just as we had expected, the us was today’s Microsoft event is not just about Windows 10, even if the system is, without doubt, stands at the centre of everything the company does now. In addition to present upgraded versions of existing products showed Panos Panay, head of Microsoft Devices, also the company’s own Imac competitor.
Surface Book i7
First off, however, was an upgraded version of the portable 2-in-1-pc Surface Book that was introduced in the last year. Microsoft has based this year’s changes on feedback from customers, and speaking of customers lifted the company up to customer satisfaction with Surface Book indeed is higher than that of any Macbook model. The feedback from customers has mainly been about the playing kundskaran want faster imagery update, and the drawing in the CAD program to have less delay. Common for all of the feedback must also have been to get better battery life.
The new Surface Book model retains the same form but will get better performance, among other things, by a Geforce GTX 965-chipset.
Microsoft’s answer on this is to put improvements on these points in the same chassis as the computer was introduced. The improvements in the sharpest model implies a Core i7 processor of the latest cut, a Geforce GTX 965M graphics card which will provide the doubled graphics performance, and this card also runs the new Pixelsense screen. Despite the upgraded hardware, the computer should have been 30% better battery life which gets the whole 16 hours, a very impressive figure that will take the lead among portable computers. The secret behind the good battery life is, among other things, a redesigned cooling system, but also that they simply managed to squeeze in more batteries in the same chassis.
Despite the fact that the shape is the same, Microsoft has managed to scare up the battery life to an impressive 16 hours.
Microsoft also highlighted that the computer’s processing power at 1.9 teraflops (wt) is significantly faster than the competing Macbook Pro models in 13-tumsklassen. The price for the most advanced model will become the 2 399 dollars which is equivalent to approximately 26 000 sek in Sweden. Your computer becomes available in november, but exactly which markets this applies to are at the time of writing unclear. Simpler configurations starting at 1 499 us dollars (about 13 000) and goes up from there. Surface Pro 4 are still available with prices starting at 899 dollars (about 8 000 sek), but if the product has also received upgraded hardware was not mentioned.
News – the Surface Studio
The big news, however, was a direct competitor to Apple’s Imac family, namely the Surface Studio. This is a desktop computer with a Pixelsense screen, 28-inch protected by Gorilla Glass. The chassis is built in aluminum and measuring only 12.5 millimeters, so, a little over an inch. The screen has an aspect ratio of 3:2 and a pixeltäthet of 192 dots per inch. According to Microsoft, this is the slimmest LCD screen ever created. On the inside sits a Core i7 processor of the latest cut, a 2 terabyte large hybrid hard drive and the graphics is handled by the card, the Nvidia Geforce 980M. Little unexpectedly snaps, therefore, Microsoft Apple on the fingers, what comes to the graphics performance.
Surface Studio is a computer that is giving creators access to a competent screen and a Dial-up accessory.
the Screen also has support for something that Microsoft calls True Color that allows the screen to be calibrated on the different needs. This is supported by both the color space in SRGB, and DCI-P3, which means that it covers both consumer needs as the professional graphics. Microsoft has also equipped the operating system Windows 10 with the ability to scale content so that it corresponds to its real size. This function is called, the True Scale and was demonstrated by one A4 page of a document on the screen was exactly the same size as a real A4 page which was held up as a reference. An inch in reality, should therefore be an inch big on the screen.
the Computer is only 12.5 millimeters thick, made possible by a particularly thin LCD panel.
Panos Panay also highlighted that the computer is super quiet and has been adapted to also be used by the computer players, which among other things means that there is built-in support for wireless controllers. Four floating attachment points in the computer’s foot should make it easy to move and angle the computer. An integrated set of microphones to make it easy to use the intelligent voice service Cortana. An integrated Studio high-definition camera can be used for login with Windows Hello.
Surface Studio is equipped with a Geforce GTX 980M, significantly more graphics performance than what the Imac family can boast.
Surface Studio should be more than just a desktop computer, according to Microsoft, and as expected based this claim on that the screen can be folded down so that it lies close to flat against the substrate. The support allows the computer screen can be folded down so that the computer can be angled by 20 degree angle towards the table. Turning the machine to a large ritplatta. In between you can choose which angle and height you want to set your computer on. It is possible to sit with your arm against the screen and draw with the other hand, thanks to Windows, you can use the feel of the wrists and the non-desirable parts of the body.
The main distinguishing factor with the Surface Studio is that it can be put down against the table with a mere 20 degrees angle the most.
Surface Dial is a kontrolldon for creative people, a circular “puck” that is used to control the content in the system. The small wireless wheel can be placed on the screen or elsewhere and is integrated in Windows. With it, you can fast forward and back through your actions with the wheel, zoom in and zoom out in the interface, scroll through the pages in a document, and so on. Dial will also function with other products of the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book. How creative works can be created with Surface Studio, the pen and the Dial control was demonstrated, inter alia, of a representative of the company Madefire which creates the comics with motion and sound.
Surface Studio yesterday to pre-order today and costs 2 999 dollars, which should correspond to just over 33 000 sek. Once again, it is unclear which markets this applies to. Microsoft also announced that the edition will initially be extremely limited.
