we're seeing a lot of innovative new designs and and helping artists video editors and other creative types get the most out of technology the new Dell canvas is one of those tools it's a huge 27 inch combination of a drawing surface and a secondary display designed to sit nearly flat in front of you like a drafting table it looks and feels a bit like Microsoft's big surface studio all-in-one which folds its own 27-inch screen down into a drafting table angle and works with a stylus and a control dial now the Dell canvas version it's big it weighs about 18 pounds the display is a qHD which means 2560 by 1440 resolution and this canvas also has a dial in fact it works with the same dial api's as the Microsoft version but it is not a full standalone computer instead you connect it to your existing computer and it works as a second screen for pen dial and touch input while you can keep other things like reference materials or even email on your laptop or desktops main monitor at the same time unlike the surface studio the dial included here only works when it's actually touching the screen it's not a Bluetooth accessory but the system also comes with a second mini dial you can use it for something like volume control for example and a stylus there's no set price for this brand new canvas yet Bedell guesses it's going to cost less than $2,000 and will be available at the end of March
