CES 2017 Innovation Award Winner Dell Canvas 27 Should be Shipping Tomorrow March 30

Dell Canvas coming alongside Windows 10 Creators Update

Dell made some serious moves at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show CES 2017 this January. The company bagged innovation awards for several products, one of which was the Dell Canvas 27, a horizontal touch monitor that comes with a digital pen and “Totem”, a rotary input device much like the Surface Dial that originally came with the Microsoft Surface Studio AIO (all-in-one) PC.

According to earlier reports, the Dell Canvas should be ready for launch tomorrow, March 30. The report also suggested that Dell Canvas is likely to coincide with the release of Windows 10 Creators Update, according to an email sent by a Dell employee to PC World back in January.

“Since the device isn’t available until 3/30—all of the features of the Creators Update will be available when Canvas ships.”

Although the Dell representative did not mention a specific timeline for Windows 10 Creators Update, we think that Microsoft and Dell could be planning a simultaneous or back to back launch for the Canvas and Windows 10 Creators Update.

The strongest validation of that is the fact that the Dell Canvas, its features and the Totem and pen accessories won’t really be worth your while unless it is supported by Windows 10 Creators Update, which brings 3D into the picture, among other things.

Another clue is the fact that Microsoft is already making an early version of Windows 10 Creators Update available to the public via an ISO file for Build 15063, which is being referred to internally as the RTM (release to manufacturing) build. This was spotted by Neowin earlier this week.

It’s very likely that Dell has already been notified about the RTM, and we could see both products (Canvas and Windows 10 Creators Update) released to the public in the next day or two. If there have been any minor delays to that timeline, it could slip into April. Regardless, we expect to see both the Dell Canvas and Windows 10 Creators Update.
