Microsoft held a press conference on Windows 10 in New York on October 26. It introduced in detail the new features and updated hardware devices that will be brought later. Let's review what is worth paying attention to.
The next major update of Windows 10 is named Creators Update. It will be launched in the spring of 2017, and all existing Windows 10 devices can get free updates.
The first new feature introduced is 3D support. Microsoft said that it will convert from 2D to 3D in the next era. After the update, 3D materials can be produced through 3D for Everyone in a relatively simple way. The built-in drawing software will be upgraded to Paint 3D. At the same time, the generated 3D materials can be directly imported into Minecraft or the produced PPT, and can also be shared with various social platforms. The 3D VR devices of Hololens and its partners can also be used conveniently.
Next is the change made for the vast number of game players. Cooperating with Beam in Creators Update will bring players the ability to directly broadcast games in Xbox, as well as the Custom Tournaments played with friends. It is worth noting that the custom tournaments support the bridging between PC and Xbox One, which opens up different platforms. The last feature about the game is Dolby Atmos support.
The last new feature of the system Creators Update is the "iMessage" of Windows 10, which can more easily and quickly share files, chat, etc. with friends. E-mail and Skype will also be reminded at the first time. The specific implementation principle is not introduced too much, and can only be known after the update. Members of the Windows Insider program can get push updates of earlier versions of Creator Update within this week.
After introducing the new features of Creator Update, Panos Panay came on stage to introduce new hardware devices, saying that the Surface Book was well received by users, but the game players said that they wanted a more powerful Surface Book, and all of them needed a longer life.
So the Surface Book has been updated. The appearance design continues the previous style (almost unchanged). The key change is the base part, which has a new cooling design, The GPU has been upgraded to GTX 965M, and the larger battery has been upgraded by 30%. The service life has reached 16 hours. It is still the sixth generation i7 processor. The reservation will be opened from now on. It will be launched on November 10, and the starting price will be 2399 dollars.
Another new surface studio with all-in-one hardware aims at "Turn your desk into a studio". This 28 inch touchable screen is only 12.5mm thick, with a resolution of 4500x3000 (192PPI), supports Adobe sRGB and DCI-P3 color gamut, and is equipped with Surface Pen, Surface Keyboard, Surface Mouse, and Surface Daily.
More specific hardware parameters, the Surface Studio can choose the 6th generation i5/i7 processor, with 8/16/32G of memory, and the hard disk is a 1TB or 2TB hybrid hard disk. The GPU is GTX 965M except the maximum configuration of GTX 980M. Like the Surface Book, the reservation is opened from now on, and the delivery time is Christmas, starting at $2999.
With regard to hardware and software updates, Microsoft's Creators Update and the new Surface Book and Surface Studio this time have few highlights, but the theme has changed from emphasizing productivity to creativity (as can be seen in the naming of Creators Update). Surface Studio is the main creative team or small studio. I wonder whether users will buy Microsoft's account?
