Microsoft impressed a lot of people last week with its announcement of the Surface Studio, a desktop-tablet hybrid with a clever and elegant dial interface. Apparently Dell has been thinking along the same lines, because they just teased something very, very similar — right down to the dial.

A video shown ahead of a keynote speech at Adobe’s Max conference (captured by MS Power User) showed the unnamed device being used in similar situations as the Surface Studio: illustration, photo and video editing, and multi-hand media manipulation.

“Our thoughts naturally transfer to paper. But there’s a gap between what comes naturally and how we create digitally,” the video explains. “Dell has changed that.”

That’s a bit premature, since Dell’s device isn’t out yet and Microsoft just announced a competing device, but they probably didn’t have time to redo the voiceover, so we’ll give them a pass.

It’s not all the same, of course: while Microsoft’s solution is a desktop that converts to a high-definition touch and pen input slate, Dell has the two separated. It seems likely from the fact that the video only shows dual-screen setups that this touchscreen is an accessory, not a standalone computer.

If you watch closely, you can see that the top and bottom displays appear to have exactly the same width, suggesting they’re specifically meant to work together as a multi-monitor setup. Adobe, no doubt, is a partner and the two have collaborated on workflows and layouts that take advantage of it.

Clearly this takes advantage of the new features found in the Windows 10 Creators Update, which Dell would have been privy to well ahead of release, but beyond that, we can’t be sure how much Dell knew about Microsoft’s Surface Studio and dial interface.

We’ve asked Dell for more info — specs, pricing, all that — and will update this post when we hear back.
