As we discussed last week, Microsoft upped their game with their new Microsoft Surface Studio PC. The <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/es\/microsoft-surface-studio-pc-is-what-photographers-want-this-holiday-season\/\" target=\"_blank\">new Surface is not only a PC, but it\u2019s also a graphics and a drafting table<\/a>. In addition to the Surface, Microsoft announced the Surface Dial. This puck looking device lets you interact and create in the most natural and immersive ways. Although the price is quite high for the Surface, it sure is a sexy device. Now THAT is something I never thought I would say about a Microsoft product.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Surface-desktop.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1646\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Surface-desktop.jpg\" alt=\"surface-desktop\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Surface-desktop.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Surface-desktop-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Surface-desktop-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Surface-desktop-570x285.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then there was Apple. Apple announced new MacBook with a \u2018Touch Bar\u2019 above the keyboard. Do you know what used to be there? That\u2019s right, the function keys used to be. Guess what else Apple took away? If you answered CD\/DVD, that was a long time ago. Guess again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/macbook-air-13.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1650\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/macbook-air-13.jpg\" alt=\"macbook-air-13\" width=\"960\" height=\"638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/macbook-air-13.jpg 960w, https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/macbook-air-13-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/macbook-air-13-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/macbook-air-13-570x379.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>OK, I\u2019ll tell you. Apple has taken away the SD slot and also removed the traditional USB slots. Yes, I understand it\u2019s to make the machines lighter and thinner. But taking away the SD slot? There are sooo many photographers and video producers who rely on that feature daily. This is like taking away the headphone jack on the iPhone 7.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WVPRkcczXCY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>While many photographers use an external USB SD card reader at home, you will now need to bring this along with you when you travel.
