hey guys this is Tom on the verge and I'm hearing you you're looking at Microsoft's new surface studio 2 now Microsoft was here two years ago launching a surface studio originally and obviously had the giant 20 inch display you can use the dial the pen all that sort of crazy stuff but it was what was inside that kind of led it down as a little bit slow and also quite there and now this model it doesn't look all that different from the outside but it's actually something you might want to use as your real PC now and just because of what's changed inside most of upgrading the the graphics card the processor and even the storage so it's gonna be a lot faster and performing so first let's check out what's changed on the outside now I'll be honest not much has changed on the outside it's the same 28 inch size display now what's actually changed is it's 38 percent brighter and it's actually 22 percent more contrast to this display so might just tweak the panel it's gonna be pretty great if you're doing video dancing or picture editing or and if you like that and that's really fun and what this devices just geared towards anyway and other than that the base is pretty much the same thing you've got the power supply built into it and all the internals and down here and the display will go up and down into sort like a drawing mode you will see what the dial to put on the display and you get the call app options to change colors for text so you still got the same surface pen support and but what's actually changed is this is the latest surface pen so you score over four fouls on the levels of sensitivity it's also got the tilt support so you can draw at an angle stuff like that so it's great if you want to use the pen support on it now obviously look at it it doesn't look like much has changed but really it's what's inside that counts obviously two years ago there was a hybrid drive inside it was it was kind of slow absolutely launched a little bit slower and he just kind of bobbed the system now now Microsoft has actually switched it up this this year and there's a two terabyte SSD storage lab now on the place mobile that's one terabyte and the base model also has an NVIDIA GTX 1060 graphics card now if you know much about graphics cards you know that that's pretty capable for gaming and certainly for video editing photo processing stuff like that but there's also the the model with a two terabyte SSD as a gtx 1070 in size let's give you even more paperwork gaming and any other image and video processing the affair Allah okay so that's all great news but there is one disappointing aspect to this and that is Microsoft's not using the latest Intel processors here it's really disappointing it's got the seventh generation Intel Core i7 processor and might not be a huge deal given the SSDs been upgraded and all see the NVIDIA GPUs er here it's just disappointing where you're spending three-and-a-half thousand dollars on this godless machine he kind of wanted to come with the latest and the greatest okay in terms of models respects the base model which is three thousand four hundred ninety nine dollars you're gonna get a one terabyte SSD storage there obviously the core i7 processor and it's 16 gig of ram and the gtx 1060 now you can go all the way up to two terabyte of storage and a gtx 1070 and that's gonna run you four thousand seven hundred ninety nine dollars and this is not a cheap machine by any means and we'll have to see whenever we get to review it just to see how much performance you're gonna be able to squeeze out of it at this time Mike's just taking pre-orders now we don't know exactly when you'll be able to get your hands on it you can order it today okay so that was a really quick look at the surface studio 2 here in New York and now Mike just announced a bunch of other products here so definitely check out and subscribe to the Verge's youtube channel at youtube.com slash Virg
