Seriously one of the 1st bits of work related technology I have got excited about for years.

I like it but the mid-level model works out to about $5,200 cdn after tax - ctrl alt yikes!
- you're paying for the Microsoft namemonospaced
- yep it's pricey for sure.fadein11
- yep, we're paying to have the microsoft priceGeorgesII
- but aimed at top end of market - design companies won't blink at those prices if they buy mac pros etc.fadein11
- And top end mac + wacom or whatever same price.fadein11
- It was a joke about how they're the new Apple and can charge the brand tax.monospaced
- I was talking to prophetonefadein11
- come on mono - it's good, no need to bring up old apple beef :)fadein11
- well all i can say is i invested about half that for my rammed out retina 15" 2.3 i7 MBP... and i don't use a wacom but could an intuos pro is about $500ishprophetone
- obviously apples to oranges in some ways (monitor etc)... but for what i need i can spend 2/3 of that and have a kick ass system to get job doneprophetone
- i do like it thoprophetone
- yep - I just think design studios / agencies will buy a few of these. I can't afford one currently but I am a freelancer.fadein11
- I didn't say it wasn't a nice machine. Relax.monospaced
- I am relaxed, looking forward to seeing what Apple throws into the mix.fadein11
- I'm interested IF Apple throws something into the mix.CyBrainX
- I don't like the idea of that physical wheel. You can touch, use a stylus and that wheel? Seems like something should go and that wheel could be on screen.CyBrainX
- guys this is actually quite a nice option– an intous Cintiq 27" (just a touch screen basically) is @ 2.5k eur, a maxed out MBP is 5k euro.ezkl
- @Cy, haven't you used a "3d mouse" like that before? they're huge in the 3d market for navigating models easilymonospaced

One of the Penny Arcade guy already has the thing.

Looks cool. I would need to test the stylus, and if there's any issues with the screen and eye fatigue.

I like it! I want one!
- HijoDMaite4
I love it too! Can I get one without Windows?

"The Studio sits at about $3000 which might sound high but consider that I paid $2500 for my Wacom Cintiq 27"HD and that isn’t even a computer." that's the money quote from the Penny Arcade piece.
- yepfadein11
- yeah but it won't be anywhere close to a wacom i'd wager_niko
- High res (5k?), touch 28" display is worth $1500 alone easy.monospaced
- it's 4500x3000 (192ppi) with 10 point multi touch, 28 inch displayernexbcn
- Isn't the current Surface digitiser better than Wacom's? People complain about the parallax.face_melter
- for reference, that cintiq is 2560x1440ernexbcn

How long before detritus tries to draw manga with his willy?

"Have you ever turned the volume knob on a ridiculously high end piece of audio equipment and felt that smooth resistance that makes you weak in the knees? Now imagine that knob is just sitting on your desk and you can make it control all kinds of stuff."

Too bad it runs Windows.
- Because Windows is bad lolololololololololo...
Right?face_melter - Windows 10 is decent. Hope they improve the UNIX shell on it though.sublocked

Windows just needs to fix their file explorer.
This is ridiculous. And it doesnt have the quick (spacebar to preview) or rename multiple files.
- we can rename multiple files on mac? shit, i need to take a break from adobe and explore my OS 'n shitmoldero
- text renders so damn shitty on windows.inteliboy
- Contextual file rename/renumber/pref... has been in the Finder since Yosemite. I use it a hell of a lot, though Name Mangler still kicks ass.evilpeacock
- Yeah as a visual designer Mac OS is way better for this kind of stuff. I can't live without the space bar preview.monospaced
- @intelliboy: Everything renders shitty. That's one of my main complaints with Windows. OSX/Ubuntu are nice and smooth.section_014
- rename key is F2 because how silly is the enter button for rename instead of execute file?!mekk
- use adobe bridge if you need space to previewmekk
- @intelliboy one can choose the rendering on win ;)mekk
