Surface Studio Comes To Australia This April
Microsoft has announced that the Surface Studio, the all in one machine that allows creators to transition from a regular PC to a drawing surface will be released in Australia on April 27 and will start at $4698.
For those who are keen to check the machine out before taking the plunge, it is on display now at the Microsoft Store in Sydney, but people can purchase the unit either direct from Microsoft or through JB HiFi or Harvey Norman.
Each machine comes packed with the Surface Studio unit, a keyboard, mouse and the Surface Pen, in addition, you can also buy the Surface Dial, which will allow faster and more natural use of various programs. The good news there is that the Dial can be bought on its own and as long as your computer has bluetooth, you can use it.
Here are the tech specs for the unit, of course, each of the three models will be different, depending on cpu, memory, storage and video card options.
