Surface Studio 2 Complete Walkthrough: Finally Has the Power It Needs

When I saw the first Surface Studio, I had a visceral reaction to it. It was unique, beautifully designed, it was something I wanted even though I had no use for it. I just wanted it in my office. I think when anyone I knew saw that first commercial for it, not a single one wasn’t intrigued, and also, because of the way the commercial was filmed–in a very different way from Microsoft’s normal ads we were used to at that point–some people even went as far as to ask if it was a new Apple product. And Microsoft, at […]

Surface Laptop 2 Complete Walkthrough: The Best Looking Laptop You Can Buy

The Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 is arguably the best looking Surface device (the Surface Studio is up there too, of course). If it had a dedicated GPU so I could edit my videos, I’d totally use it as my daily computer. Look at it. Well, regardless of the GPU, it’s still a good option for someone who wants something that’s well made, slick looking, and responsive. Microsoft was kind enough to let me borrow the new version of the laptop: the Surface Laptop 2. So I figured I’d do a complete walkthrough for you guys. If you aren’t familiar a

Surface Book 2 (COMPLETE WALKTHROUGH) (Video)

I was finally able to get my hands on it, the 15″ top of the line Surface Book 2. I’ve honestly always been a fan of the Surface Book (and frankly Microsoft’s new direction for their hardware) but could never pull the trigger on buying a Book (or any Surface computer really) because they’ve always lacked a powerful enough GPU for me to be able to edit footage on it. But now, with the Surface Book 2 and the NVIDIA GTX 1060 inside the higher end 15″ model, I can finally give it a try. So here is my complete

Microsoft Surface Pro (2017): What’s Changed?! (Video)

Microsoft invited me by to demo some of the new Surface computers that were announced recently. And while I’ve already done a video on the new Surface Laptop which I sort of love the design of (and you can check out that video here), I haven’t had a chance to check out the new Surface Pro that was announced in China recently. So, I walked up to it and… it looks the same. So what changed besides dropping the number at the end from 5 to just Surface Pro? I asked one of the reps there that exact question and,

The New Surface Pro, Surface Pen, and Type Cover

The new Surface Pro was announced today by Microsoft in Shanghai today. Expected to be the Surface Pro 5, Microsoft has switched things up (and simplified things, I think) by just calling it the Surface Pro. Period. New Surface Pro Specs The new device is very similar to the Pro 4 in terms of looks and form factor. We have the same detachable design, screen size, resolution, and even weight and size (for the most part). The only real noticeable difference looks-wise is that the corners are a bit rounder on the new Pro and if you have the kickstand

Microsoft Surface Laptop: Functionality Meets Beauty

I’ve mentioned this in a video not too long ago, but Windows laptops aren’t the sexiest devices usually. There are some, but walking into an electronics store’s laptop section generally unveils glimmers of metal and premium materials, but mostly it’s a room full of plastic. Windows needs to look and feel premium. It needs to appeal to the new generation of designers, students, & professionals who all want their devices to look and feel like attention was paid to every detail; like they were designed to be functional and beautiful. Microsoft today at their education focused event unveiled a device

Best Editing Laptop? Macbook Pro vs Surface Book vs Razer Blade (Video)

When the new Macbook Pro was released, there was a lot of humming and hawing from the creative professional community. Essentially, everyone was a little disappointed in the power the new Macbook Pro was given. One of the more popular theories of Apple aiming for the mainstream instead of the niche of creatives that helped set them apart years before was given more fuel to burn. And, when you think about it, Apple’s most popular products of all time, the iPod and iPhone, were not aimed at professionals, but at the mass market of your average person. So why not
