Believe it or not, the Surface Studio was a gift, I didn't really pick it out. Anyway, I picked it up today and am playing around with it. This is my first post with it. I'm not sure if I will keep it or not, I have 30 days to decide. One big issue I foresee is that since it is an all-in-one unit, the CPU is right here at the base of the HUGE monitor. It makes a little noise which is probably a deal breaker to use it as a DAW PC, especially when the fan turns on. The CPU for the PC I'm using for my DAW now is located in an adjacent room. Thus, no noise at all. I don't think I will want to record audio into the Surface Studio with it living in the same room.
Until this new acquisition, I had a dedicated PC (by Studiocat) that I use for a DAW and Video Editing and a separate office PC for mail, internet browsing, MS Office etc. It would be great to have one PC that could do it all. But maybe it's just not practical.
