$1,300 seems super high, considering you can get an 5K iMac with an entire computer inside of it for $1650 (@ B&H) that allows you to use its screen in pass through mode when connected to a laptop.

Jeez! The prices aren't high. These are separate monitors. Those will always cost more. They won't sell more than a small percentage of the iMacs' sales.

you guys should look at other graphics monitors. They're all more expensive than these, by several hundred bucks. Some by a lot more.

I agree NEC and Eizo are in the same price point. The support for a 60hz display, additional ports, and charging are great assets to a simplified work flow.

I've got two questions about this new MacBook Pro.

 Will my Dell monitor work with it?

And how my supposed to use my external keyboard, I won't be able to use the touchscreen. 

I think USB C hubs/docks are going to become very popular. One benefit to usb charging is the usb battery packs may be an option with the right amps and capacity for traveling.

The downside to the Surface studio is portability.  It's a great design but mimics Wacom Cintiq line. Wacom has the new mobile studio pro that may fit the needs for artists.  I feel both Apple and Microsoft pens aren't the best due to reliance on bluetooth and battery.  I'm glad to see more options available from every company so now it's time for users and solid reviews to come out over the next few months.  http://www.wacom.com/en-us/products/pen-computers/wacom-mobilestudio-pro

Incorporation of Bluetooth 5 should make the new devices even better.
