Microsoft’s super-expensive all-in-one PC launched in late October is now about to arrive at the door of the first lucky buyers, as the company has started shipping the device to those who pre-ordered it first.

Buyers are now receiving emails telling them that the Surface Studio is ready to ship, and given the fact that this week it’s Thanksgiving Day, they should get the device sometime in the next 24 to 72 hours.

“Your new Surface Studio is almost here. Good news, your new Surface Studio is available early. We will be processing payment and shipping your new Surface Studio the week of November 21, 2016. You will receive a shipping notification once your order is processed,” a message that only the luckiest Surface Studio buyers are getting reads.

At this point, absolutely all Surface Studio models that can be purchased from Microsoft’s online store ship in early 2017, including the top-of-the-range configuration with 2 TB storage space, 32 GB RAM, Intel Core i7 processor, and $4,199 price.

On the other hand, if you pre-order the Surface Studio right now, you also get a free Surface Dial, the revolutionary accessory that would otherwise be available separately for $99.

The Surface Studio in all its glory

In case you forgot how awesome the Surface Studio is, then it’s worth noting that the device comes with a 28-inch PixelSense display with a resolution of 4500x3000 pixels and 10-point multi-touch, up to quad-core Intel Core i7 CPUs, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M 2GB GPU GDDR5 memory or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M 4GB GPU, up to 32 GB RAM and 2 TB storage.

The Surface Studio has pretty much everything you could get from an AIO PC, including 4 USB 3.0 ports, an SD card reader, a mini DisplayPort, a headphone jack, built-in camera for Windows Hello, dual microphones, stereo 2.1 speakers with Dolby sound, and many other goodies that make it one of the most powerful computers at this point.
