Merry Candy day!

So it's that time of year again. You can always tell when they bring out the Christmas themed junk at Wal-Mart. It's time to strengthen your fight against diabetes.
In all seriousness though It's also the beginning of shopping and new tech. I'll likely add some more money to my card just in case I find a good deal on a GTX 1080 on Amazon.
My PC has long been due an upgrade of some sort. I had already planned on building a new PC, but then decided on just upgrading the GPU and monitor after that.
I'd then finish grabbing other components like a new case, mother board and ram. I decided on all of this and then Microsoft and Wacom release a few new awesome products.
Wacom released their updated portable drawing tablet. They've improved the display resolution as well as reduced the amount of parallax. I'd want the 16 inch UHD one, but I can do without.
My Surface Pro 4 isn't much different any how. Microsoft on the other hand released three new items. An updated version of the Surface book which has a larger battery and improved GPU.
Nice, but I can still do without. They also released the Surface Dial. An interesting puck thing that works as a sort of remote. It enables you to control stuff with a twist. It does have an on screen
UI when placed on an up to date Surface display. Though it can still be used on other Windows 10 PCs. At only $100 it's not too bad, but I'd rather use the Tablet Pro tool bar.
And finally they announced the Surface Studio. An all in one PC with a 28 inch pen enabled display. The PC part of it is in the base and pretty much just a laptop as far as power is concerned.
I'd rather have a display only version considering that you won't be able to really upgrade it later... At a starting price of $2999 it's not cheap. Yet it's already sold out until early 2017.
Microsoft does also have a couple of keyboards and a mouse, but they're not really that impressive. You can order these along with the dial separately if you want. The keyboard that comes with the Surface
Studio is the most appealing to me, but I don't think it has any back lighting. For $100 I can do better. The other keyboard is an ergonomic version. lol nope
The mouse is a simple wireless mouse. I could only see space for two buttons and a track wheel. Can do much better for $70 or so.
All in all I'll be sticking to my PC upgrade path unless I come across a large win fall of money.
