    Its a good item if you need it for certain editing apps. Other than that, if you use basic apps theres really no need for it.

    I love my Microsoft Dial. Purchasing the dial online was seamless. The dial was on sale for a lower price so I could get a new one even though I considered buying an open box Dial for less. I was able to use my Best Buy points / voucher so I basically got my Dial for free! I added a memory card (also a great price on sale) and received a $25 credit to spend online at a photography website. My dial was delivered quickly to my doorstep.

    There was so much hype and so many opinions going in both directions for the Surface Studio and all the things you can do with it. Then it finally comes and my daughter and I were nervous about opening it. The surface dial - takes some adjusting to use. She's 11 and is loving it. She won't let anyone use hers and I won't let anyone use mine. We ended up buying a second one - so we could use them at the same time . Amazing product- take time to adjust to using it. Watch YouTube or join a few groups. Learning curve even for the most advanced computer tech savvy people. Enjoy
