Microsoft Surface Dial: Unboxing & Review

[@Clara_Page]

Apple users "the surface dial is uselless" Apple users in the future " the iDial is inovative and a must have product"

[@memethanYT]

Clara Pagett Apple user here, and the Surface Studio+Dial is the sexiest combination of technology I've ever seen.

[@Clara_Page]

Nathan Clark - Nothing Serious Well done on not being biased, I wish most Apple users were like you

[@memethanYT]

Clara Pagett It gets better: the new MacBook Pro is a mistake. Aside from the Touch Bar, which looks cool, everything about the laptop is very disappointing. Price, specs and I/O.

[@cjxgraphics]

Scary how often this happens. "It's not a stylus, it's a Pencil!"

[@KylePiira]

Just curious what do you plan to do once Steve Jobs era devices become too old to be usable?

[@ergo595]

Can you daisy chain two and create the worlds most expensive etch a sketch

[@UBHotch1869]

Too funny! I was thinking the same stupid thing....

[@Eagle10021]

Ask Microsoft that question

[@buddyroach]

that would be a cool thing to have for kids with tablets. a pair of knobs like this you can pair with the tablet and an etch a sketch app to use it on

i love how detroitborg always cuts to the shit unlike other youtubers that talk for like 2 minutes in the begining

Excellent review as always. You always focus one making the product's details famous instead of yourself which is something I wish more KZbinrs would do! Big fan.

[@peterisrael2012]

Nobody gonna mention that this dial is $100.00 , and yet y'all always complaining on apple being money whores but this dial should've come with the computer .

[@OGMudBone420]

[@JetVeam]

Kimo Cz See TLD (Jonathan Morrison) video on it, it's actually faster.

[@OGMudBone420]

[@fallogingl]

Is $100 even enough for all the dongles to make the new Macbook useful?

[@frankunderwood1898]

this is cool! imagine 5 of them in single app, and doing everything by turning and pressing knobs! let's hope dials don't die, but evolve.

I think the dial has a lot of potential in future. It could have number of uses, not just for Autocad drafters. Imagine the dial on the left hand and mice on right, possibilities are end less for all sorts of jobs. Good innovation Microsoft. Apple caught napping here.

[@ichthyander45]

It is only you making these great videos about the surface studio. I wonder what the other youtube reviewers are doing.

[@Aleex.Medeiros]

When you start the slide on the screen, just clean it down, when you use it off the screen ends up taking a bit of dust and dirt

[@JimmyGunawan]

This is a serious gimmick. can be useful, but not essential, exactly.

[@AHeadlessChicken2008]

Gimmick just like the Mac Touchbar

[@matis188]

well at least its optional :)

[@ocmiss]

Why take back everything to the Mac ? It's infuriating, he expressed a random opinion not related to Apple and you just jump his throat. I agree that for an average consummer this dial is gimmicky but this computer is clearly intended for artists to begin with.

[@SaintGuardian]

In todays day and age of the spoiled modern man, EVERYTHING is a gimmick. Dont tell me it's not, because I see the same comment on every new video about every new tech product.

[@Isaacriches]

It was released at a similar time and plays a similar function. Don't think it's unfair to compare them

[@poeticsilence047]

Any plans on making the studio your main workstation?

[@poeticsilence047]

WTF must of missed that part in that video. Too busy thinking how nice it would be to have a studio...lol

[@DetroitBORG]

I'm not that proficient with Adobe Premiere Pro and ultimately the 5K iMac I normally use is much more powerful with Final Cut Pro.

[@MacGuy3135]

This isn't the best for video editing. Weak CPU, weak GPU, noisy. This is great for artists, but not for a video editor.

[@poeticsilence047]

Mac Guy3135 fair enough... just one sexy looking computer. seems like it shows off what Microsoft can do when they flex their muscles a bit... I say bit only because it has some of the design queues as if Apple designed it...

[@MacGuy3135]

Joshua Keys design is second to none. Specs are questionable.

It could be interesting in RTS games if it were to be supported. Turning controlling zoom, click displaying unit shortcuts for example.

[@makotohan166]

Problem is Surface Pro 7 doesn’t support on screen dial, yet previous model do. How do they mess that up?

[@RamonGJ]

Apple needs to step their game up!

[@Jack-hx8yz]

Being honest, I don't see how this is any better or more helpful than the touch bar is... for the most part they do the same thing.

Is that voice real or has it been augmented by some very pricey software. So far, (3 out of 3 videos) it's been pitch perfect. And oooo Microsoft Surface Dial. Thxs

[@venom5809]

Been waiting for this review. Honestly this is innovative, not that touch bar nonsense. 😄

[@WalterKingstone]

Honestly don't see how this is any better than the touch bar.

[@kasoog]

Walter Kingstone at least you can remove and pair it with a w10 device // with Apple it's just set there and immovable lol

[@andrewzolnier8408]

Carl Casuga of course the touch bar is non removable. It's on a laptop.

[@alexisa240]

Carl Casuga it's just on surface products

[@kasoog]

Andrew Zolnier I stand corrected then.

[@bs838]

How did this get to production with that sliding bullshit?!

[@Flugfritze96]

True :D i linke your rage

[@CriticalMassU235]

So they can market better suction cups for the base. Probably thought "ehh... someone else can make something to keep if from sliding, where's my paycheck, shifts over"

[@steamerSama]

bcuz, it is made to be slid. If it were anymore grippy, I bet people would complain that it does not slide too well, and how Microsoft could ship a half baked product

[@bs838]

There are materials that stay fixed in place without sliding, and yet release with small amounts of external force. The bottom line is that they didn't engineer the material on the bottom to have enough friction to stop it sliding UNDER ITS OWN WEIGHT. It's kind of like a well designed monitor hinge - "zero gravity" - where it stays put under the load of the thing it's holding, but just a small additional extra force vector will allow movement.

[@holopaste]

I think the video is saying it'll slide if the SS isn't in its most horizontal position. That makes sense, because that's where the dial becomes useful. I imagine making it more sticky would cause it to get dirty more quickly.

[@PieStudios]

Hey, that's pretty good!

[@matthew8077]

Hey, that's mildly adequate

[@eb1900]

Hey, that's somewhat satisfactory

[@DogeFrom2014]

Hey, THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!11!!!!!!111!1!!!!!!

[@motuarikidub1189]

It's a gimmick that a few programs will support and then it will disappear. A finger, stylus, mouse or trackpad would sufficiently cover these functions and they are supported by all software, windows, mac, iOS or android.

[@buccob]

I agree.. but as an engineer that uses 3D industrial design software on a daily basis, this would be a nice extra for handling and editing models... For the general public, this is a gimmick.... however, the Surface Studio is not targeted to the general public anyways...

[@jrbqto]

Just like DQuiLon, I too work on 3D models; for video games tho. I don't have a dial, but I find it to be interesting as possibly a useful tool for working with. Touch screen, and Pen are definitely some great tools to help with workflow that have been updated. This might be an equivalent to a mechanics wrench set, for me.

[@germanikolaas]

The surface dial is the only reason why i want a surface pro , give it a year wait for all other programs and third parties to adapt/update and program the dial into their software, then the time should be right to get one.

[@MarkPalmer1989]

since its just a bluetooth interface between it and the computer could you use it with just a everyday normal windows 10 machine?

[@TechBoost]

This is a very clear review! Love it!

[@Dragondude2525]

interesting that on the map you zoomed into Toronto.

[@danish4005]

Love your videos, very detailed and wonderfully explained. 👌 Can you please do a quick comparison video between iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus? I'm unable to decide which one to buy?.. 😏

[@ethansmith3424]

So Microsoft makes this and people are like "Oh wow, such a cool accessory for artists, so amazing!" And Apple makes an accessory that serves in a way the same function and has other features than normal styluses to make it special (the Apple Pencil) and people are like "OMG A $100 STICK OF PLASTIC THAT I CAN FIND IN A GARBAGE CAN IN 1 SECOND APPLE IS SO STUPID!!!" Come on people. Apple isn't the only one appealing to a certain market. Keep in mind these accessories are the same price too

[@RemixedVoice]

Ethan Smith This is infinitely more useful than a stylus. MacOS doesn't even support touchscreens lmao. What's the point, for your fucking ipad? Jesus.

[@jayshah1794]

exactly, not to mention it was made bc of the note's stylus (but does less) and then the windows pen came out, also better than that stylus Anyways, ethan, you realize you can use your surface pen with this right

[@villalight5]

The dial seems pretty cool if your an artist other then that I don't think i would find much use to it

[@petterv6604]

Salomon Villafuerte why would any artist choose this over a regular drawing pad

[@villalight5]

That's very true.

[@Jawenw3HL]

you can use both,graphic tablet and this surface dial.

[@villalight5]

I guess depends what your more comfortable with and if your opone to new things

[@gillesseart]

Many artists draw with a graphic tablet nowadays, so this would be a dream come true for many digital artists. Personally for me, I'm a traditional artist. Nothing beats pencil and paper, so I'm with you on that.

[@iCxLegion]

Is the sticky pad sticky enough to pick up things from the table? I'm wondering if someone might accidentally scratch up their screen without realizing it.

While it looks pretty awesome, it just seems like something you would have to make yourself use. As in, it seems like one of those gadgets that eventually fades into obscurity after a while because there's a limited need for it. It looks cool though!

If I can ask a similar question here: Do Win10 icons allow you to reference you own content on the desktop? I think MS is jamming their info down your face. Have no desire to return to Windows

[@nice8348]

+Chase M explain

[@user-jh3mu5nb1g]

I'm with you. This is like a marginally better scroll wheel.

[@MacGuy3135]

Trackpad or scroll ball is almost as good.

[@chasevineland1508]

Chase M... I haven't been doing graphics for 20 yrs? You are right. I spent the first 11 years working for design agencies. Then I ran my own firm for the last 9 years. Over the last 2 years I haven't been fully engaged in the direct design input however none of my design artists deem this noteworthy. Let's see in the next 12-18 months if this continues and other companies and design agencies adopt it. I demoed one and don't understand why at a slight angle the nob drifts down about half inch in about 10 minutes. Based on that, after a few weeks, the sticky pad will need to be refreshed. Reminds me of the same stuff used in EKG pads. I laughed when it also could be used to control the volume... I have a feeling it's going to be moth balled by then.

[@noboilfrog9431]

I'd be interested to know after a few months how the Surface screen surface is holding up to all the pen and Surface Dial use, is it more scratch resistant than a standard touch screen?

[@jbrealestate7155]

Great product but my only suggestion is why not make it wireless or operable without batteries?.. Incase of spilled beverages or any other liquid damage?

[@Jack-hx8yz]

[@LucaLindholm]

Maybe because the Studio in this video wasn't @20° with the table, like the Panay's presentation?

[@gamecritic5500]

Does dust stick to the sticky surface? Can this be cleaned or does it need to be replaced?

[@Jarvice]

Is it worth it to buy one for my laptop? I use a lot of different editing software on a daily basis but I don't actually own a Surface Studio.
