Re: [OT] Surface Studio

2016-10-28 Thread Scott Barnes 
One thing concerns me is that with the WACOM you get used to the texture of
the screen, that is its not "hard glass" its more of a soft matte finish.
I've tried drawing on iPad Pro and Surface Pro's but they don't feel the
same as the WACOMS... so i'll just have to suck it up given the value
proposition on the "surface" (lol) looks appealing...

 My thinking is it'd be more powerful if instead of moving from the
 tilted position to vertical, if you had one or more screens vertically and
 had Kinect or similar to "drag" windows down to be manipulated directly in
 front of you, and then back up when just viewing.

 I can't imagine it'll be that far away.

Glad I wasn't one of them, changed my mind last minute. Too pricey for what
you get imo
