> The Surface Studio is a better iMac than the iMac

I'd argue that is a different iMac than the iMac. The Studio is not what the iMac aspires to be.

The Studio is a very expensive all-in-one tailored to a very specific few use cases or industries. It's impressive, it shows Microsoft has design chops but it's not quite the same machine and I'm not sure the market is addressing is that big (sales have not been stellar AFAIK)
