This topic clearly belongs in the "Non Apple related chit chat' forum.
Microsoft has produced a desktop computer. It's more like a giant tablet: all screen, with everything inside. 28 inch monitor.
It looks good enough to have been designed by...Apple.

It looks a fabulous piece of kit. Shame it runs Windows.

Killjoy.
There's some small print that you're missing:
"Designed by Apple in California; sold under the Microsoft label."

Can't be. It has proper USB ports. Apple want them gone.

Those two arms... really?
It looks crazy.
Did Apple copyright one arm monitor support for all time?

I suggest that the Apple's stand is not adjustable (height and angle) like the MS.

hmm, I will inquire with the lad who has one. (iMac that is)
But it still looks like a bit of a bodge.
No doubt it helps do all those things a PC can do that a Mac can't.
As per their adverts.
EDIT: I've just asked. He suggests short arses get an adjustable chair.
Not sure that helps the computer buying public.
Further edit: Its all here:

I speed-read the article; it does, indeed, look a fabulous piece of kit.
Innovative; something MS isn't known for.

The iMac barely tilts let alone does what the Surface can do.

MS do now make decent hardware, but then put Win10 on it. They lost me because of that (for now) at Win8.x.
