I have moved on from my 2007 iMac, which served me well for over 10 years, to the Surface Studio. I have been circling this purchase for a while and after looking at my options in this space, I took the plunge. I love the hinge design and the ability to move the screen into a good angle for drawing. The Surface pen has a nice heft and feels good in the hand and on the surface's screen, which feels fairly natural to draw on but not as good as the Wacom Cintiq, which has more of a friction-y paper feel. The system's capabilities are more than enough for the workload I will throw at it; mostly Sketchbook Pro and Illustrator, while also using it for daily web browsing and misc. items. IMO, Windows 10 isn't as good an OS as macOS but that's a trade-off I was willing to make as Windows has improved over the years. I'm dinging a star for two reasons: one, the inability to use the studio as an external display but more importantly the issue regarding the pen whereby straight lines appear jagged. This still isn't fixed and Microsoft really should be resolving this issue. For me, I can turn on stability controls in the apps I use so it wasn't a deal breaker, but it is disappointing that a defect affecting a key element of what makes the Surface Studio unique is still around and given the price of the system it's sad to see that a fix hasn't been found yet.

this is the best computer that i have ever used! the screen and touch features are awsome!
