How can you ever trust buying Microsoft Consumer Devices when they continually kill them off?

1 Msft Surface Studio PC

Over recent years, Microsoft discontinued consumer devices such as the Microsoft Kin, Xbox Kinect, Microsoft Lumina, Microsoft Band, Surface Duo 3, HoloLens, Surface Earbuds 2 and now the Surface Studio 2+ desktop that was one of the sexiest desktops on the market, though insanely priced at $4,500. Then again, it came with a massive touch screen for artists.

Today, Windows Central reports that Microsoft has ended production on the Surface Studio 2+, its ultra-premium all-in-one desktop PC designed for creatives and commercial customers. Starting at a whopping $4,500, the Studio 2+ was the ultimate Windows all-in-one with the best touchscreen display on a unique hinge that allowed the screen to lay down like a draft board.

Over the last several weeks, the Surface Studio 2+ has slowly fallen out of stock in multiple regions. Now today, the company has confirmed that it has no plans to restock the Surface Studio 2+, meaning production on the product line has come to an end.

"Customers can continue to purchase Surface Studio 2+ through retailers and partners with stock" a Microsoft spokesperson told Windows Central when asked for comment. "For areas reaching out of stock, Surface Studio 2+ will no longer be available for new purchases."

Unfortunately, the loss of Surface Studio leaves a pretty big hole in the Windows all-in-one space. While OEMs like HP and Lenovo have stepped up to produce some incredible all-in-one machines in the last couple of years, they are too few and far between. And none of them offer a high-resolution touchscreen display like the Surface Studio did. For more, read the full Windows Central report.
