This would be a great office PC. They should sell a cheaper 8 GB or 16 GB RAM version.

[WitchRegen]

Not a developer, but I want one of these so bad! Really looking forward to the future of Windows on ARM.

[ygrillo]

Please show more content about the pre installed apps, system performance, how Windows on ARM is becoming a reality to us, energy efficiency, new features etc.

[alexgetmansky]

I'd like to see real hardware specs and benchmarks in comparison with m1

[Arya_amsha]

please make a review vidoe as well
I just want to know how this arm processor handles some famous work or coding apps

[MrAria]

for whatever reason i thought it was a metal box instead of plastic. but if it means an affordable surface, i'm into it

[ieeeq]

I have a question : I am a technology lead but no Developer . Nevertheless this box would be a great workstation for me. Recently I am working on a Windows 11 ARM Notebook from Lenovo and I am loving it ;-) So are there any restriction on this Box so that only a Dev could use it or can I use it just as a normal Workstation ?

This is just the base portion of the Surface Studio without the display. So i think the next Surface Studio (maybe version 4/5) could be ARM.

[ahmedalsadi]

for all developers, please make better apps with this windows arm needs you all

[jaedynchilton]

What monitor is that in the video? I don't think I've seen that before, looks fantastic for productivity.

[kelvindean]

Since this is a DEV KIT, I thought it needs to be returned after a set period of time like the Apple M1 Developer Transition Kit.

[BaDitO]

I hope someone makes a linux image for this. this with linux sounds like the ultimate home server in terms of powerefficeny and compute power

[jeffriart]

This actually looks like a great lightweight desktop PC and comes with great specs for the price as well.

Is there any downside on using this as consumer?

[hasashin]

Why are there polish texts on the ports description paper if the dev kit is not available in Poland at all right now? Confusing

[nickhu]

After watching some reviews and reading the specs, I still don't get if Is there something extra that makes it a 'Dev Kit', like a special debug port, a breakout connector for IO ports, whatever. How does it differ from any ARM64 SBC regarding development?

[SteveTube]

I wonder why in the paper at 0:43 there are words also in Italian language but then it's not sold in and at 4:15 unfortunately there's no italian language Why not?

[n_ku]

Please install visual studio and see how fast it loads and try build some project on it.

[hahalolha]

I would really hate to ruin the mood but, these would make AWESOME Linux machines lmao

[PeterMeinl]

What mini DP cable were you using? I have the Dev Kit and the same monitor but non of my mini DP to mini DP cables work.

[hassejansson]

I have problems with my unit, it can't connect to monitors that only have hdmi-in, I've tried several adapters for displayport-to-hdmi, and usb type c-to-hdmi.. Any solution for this, let me know a.s.a.p?
