Microsoft - Better at being Apple than Apple?

Microsoft have quietly become great at creating hardware.

This week they announced the Surface Studio which is aimed at artists and designers, and though it will appeal to those already creating digital masterpieces, the ability for it to lie almost flat and the new multipurpose Surface Dial will make it more accessible to those used to more traditional canvas, paint and brush.

It is designed simply to put you at the centre of the creative process.
