Dell at CES 2017 unveiled it's version of Microsoft's Surface Studio AIO PC called Canvas, however Microsoft has no reason to worry about it.
The Dell Canvas is a "horizontal smart workspace" aimed at creative professionals with a big 27-inch screen that can be used at an angle (adjusting via kickstand) or lay flat on desk and can be used for drawing, sketching, editing music & videos and more. Similar to Surface Studio, Dell's Canvas ships with a pen and Totem, which looks and functions like Surface Dial.
But the similarities stops there. The Canvas is not a full-fledged PC, as it does not have a CPU at its core, but it is a huge screen that can be used with any Windows 10 PC. This means the Canvas acts as a touchscreen board for drawing, sketching, editing videos, while a Windows 10 device connected to a secondary display (monitor) will show the progress or result.
The 27-inch touch screen bears a Quad HD (2560 x 1400 pixels) resolution with very slim bezels and 100 percent color gamut. It supports pen input and houses 2 x USB 3.0 ports and a USB-C port. It also works with software solutions like Adobe, Autodesk, AVID, Dassault Systems, and SolidWorks.
The Dell Canvas is priced at $1800, which is half the price tag of Microsoft's Surface Studio. It will be up for pre-order in March and will start shipping in April.
