But Apple already has a large-screened all-in-one. It\u2019s known as the 27-inch iMac with 5K Retina display. The main difference is that the Surface Studio is fitted with a flexible arm, similar to a gooseneck lamp, so you can move the display around in all sorts of ways, even push it down real low so you can easily hover over it. That\u2019s supposed to be important to artists who can use it as a big drawing tablet.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Wait!
