There is a reason Apple doesn't do a PC with a touchscreen and it's simple, there is no good way to pull it off right, it sucks, it's useless and it's a gimmick.<p>The puck's usefulness will depend entirely on the developers. Developers who don't really pick up on Microsoft, Samsung or Google's toys.<p>The TouchBar might be tiny, but they showed off zero day support for it from companies like Adobe, and that's where the difference comes from.<p>While the Surface Studio looks sexy and is deliberately trying to mimic Apple, the fact that it runs Windows (10) on a high res screen is just a turn-off for me.<p>As someone who used to hate Apple with a passion and love Microsoft OSes and products unconditionally, I've finally had enough and switched to an Apple-ecosystem: while not perfect, the amount of things they consider for their products is astounding and last but not least, they ship with 3rd-party support already on the way.<p>And that's a key difference to me as a developer, as a photographer, as a designer and artist and as a musician.
