Is Surface Studio dead?
Would be a shame. It seemed like the all-in-one that Apple would make if they still cared for it.

Everything looks incredible except, yeah, those are a bit weird... Huh.This is what they look like to me lol
Also was hoping for a refresh on the ANC headphones.
Still, really cool stuff overall!
The AirPods looked weird to me too when they were announced. Now they are very common and not weird at all anymore.
Maybe the same will happen with these earbuds.

That was a phenomenal conference that made Apple seem like a conservative and slow company. Actual innovation on display.
However, the products Microsoft are showing are unproven in the worst ways: the stuff they want to do is stuff they have tried before and failed miserably. Which means you got 2020 devices that could bomb out of the gate, and 2019 devices that are just spec bumps.
It all depends on Windows 10X.

$250 is kind of expected. Hopefully one day it comes free with the purchase of a surface book or something
15" amd laptop sounds dope, but 13" will always be my sweetspot
Panos Panay is like if Michael Scott and Tobey Flenderson had a baby.
"I love it. I love thisTV Surface Neo."

I find them both oddly charming.
I used to be a small laptop guy. But as I've gotten older, my eyes have deteriorated a bit and I've found I prefer the boost in power (typically). I'd buy a 17" Laptop 3 if it were on offer.
Whe you want to get 11 gauge piercing but opt for an alternative
I thought the Pro X was gonna replace it, but since they revealed it was an even more premium version than even the Pro, I'm guessing the Go will not be on a yearly cycle, or it will simply be replaced by the Neo.
Yea I was thinking it would be replaced my the Neo. I'm not really interested in buying it (Surface Go) but I just thought it was a really cool device that needed more power/optimization when I played with it.
Damn it I specifically wanted refreshes for the Surface Book and Studio. Damn it.
Oh well I'll get a Laptop 3 for my husband

I don't know why, but i though the surface pro X would be the cheaper one. Really sucks it's so expensive....guess i will be looking at the surface pro 7 instead.
Was about to ask about this. Guess I am still out then.
Is Thunderbolt 3 really that expensive to implement? This should be standard by now.
I have a SP3 i5, and Ive been itching to upgrade tbh, my battery is pretty shot, etc, etc
Should I just try and grab an SP6 for cheap (er) ?
Also, until I saw the video of Panos handling the Duo and Neo I wasnt sure, but damn I want them lol
@ microsoft just cut the Duo in half and make me so happy

Pro X is running an ARM cpu. It is compatible with win32 programs but not 64 bit ones. UWP apps all run fine.
The upside is that it will have superior battery life, less weight, is thiner and has smaller bezels.
Surface Pro 7 is a spec refresh on last years Pro 6.
Pro 7 is actually more powerful, but X should have the better battery life and is able to be always connected through SIM. It's also thinner, lighter, and sleeker looking. We've yet to see its performance with emulated software, however, and so some things you may use on your x86 PC might not actually work or be less optimized for the ARM CPU. I'm no expert but pretty tech savvy and these are the things I'd be worried about with the X (which is why i thought it would be ther cheaper device). But I can't wait to see reviews on it.
The first Surface Studio was released in 2016
The second gen Surface Studio was released in 2018
So if Microsoft is only planning on updating it every 2 years we might not get a new one until 2020.
I personally hope they consider releasing a Surface Studio monitor too in addition to the all-in-one model.
Isn't it in the specifications for the next USB standard?
The Surface Duo seems to be neat. Everything else is too gimmicky for me.
Also, Apple really created one whole device category with their AirPods and we all laughed at these things and I still do tbh.
I'm hearing you can open the new models? Maybe worth grabbing a cheaper model and getting extra RAM/SSD storage yourself?
Yes, that was mentioned at some point during the presentation. Not sure if that applies to all models, but I'm almost positive it does for the X.
Good to know. The mark-up that companies charge for extra RAM/storage in laptops is ridiculous.
They only referenced the HDD as replaceable though, so I'd temper expectations.
The craziest shit from the announcement was that Surface Neo is not running Arm, but instead Intel Lakefield.
Heterogeneous design with one "big" core and 4 "little" ones. No x86 CPU has been like that before. 1x Core M3 Core and 4x Atom cores, basically. Should be really, really interesting to see the performance on it.

I really have to say...I thought the first Surface design was inoffensive but incredibly bland. But with every iteration, Microsoft really refines its aesthetic and now...this is a very gorgeous family of devices. Sleek, modern, if I'm spending that kind of money I want my shit to look expensive.
