Assuming that you aren't trolling and assuming you haven't read the discussions here. I'll try my best to give you summary of what was discussed

Being Microsoft's first attempt. It's a good guess that this has been under development for well over a year(or longer). And it's highly probable that the design decision was made before the 1080 was an option. If you have any real life experience in the corporate world or just common sense for that matter. You would know that they don't just "toss" in a new graphics card when the machine is already on the assembly line.

Now, with that said. You can probably tell that the Surface Studio was never meant to be a gaming machine from its form factors. For the majority of the content creation needs the 980m is in fact overkill. But I'd like to see TB-3 port include next time so I can run a eGPU through it.

Feel free to enlighten me on a example of a equally specced machine with the same level of design and material involved and we can discuss further. (The screen on the Studio itself is probably worth 1500-2000$)

monitor worth 2000 bucks LOLNOPE
2000 dollar build + UP2715K and you are still saving well over a grand
No just because its marketed to "content creators" that don't have the first clue about what they are accually paying for does not make it good and I don't care how long its been a secret squirrel project its not worth the asking price ,

is that a 4500x3000 monitor with multiple touch sensitive screen designed in a super thin package? LOLNOPE. I don't think you understand what form factor means. Sure you can build a giant plastic box of 2000$ worth of junk. (My computer is exactly that) This isn't target at someone like you who are looking for best performance-price ratio.

I stopped taking you seriously after your argument is to compare home-built desktop builds to this. Might I suggest you to try Wal-Mart or Compu-mart?

Premium devices cost more. Sky is blue. and news at 6.

nothing premium about this its a frigging laptop chip-set stuffed in cheap plastic box with a touch screen bolted to it ... and nobody serious about content creation uses a touch screen (reguardless of what mircosofts marketing dept would have you believe) they use watcom tablets form factor is irrelevant to people that accually do this for a living ,this is marketed to people with more money then brains e.g apple users

Actually for the purpose of the station, they should at least stick an Quadro M4000. Putting an M6000 would be ideal for handling 3D apps at such high resolution, however nVidia ridiculously grotesque is overpricing their cards
