It's amazing how much more you pay for this device because of the screen detaching.
For that exact same price you could get the Dell XPS 15 with a quad core i7, 16gb RAM, 512gb SSD, and a GTX 960M. Granted it's a 1080p screen instead of a touch screen 3000 x 2000 but still, miles ahead in terms of performance.
And it weighs 3.9 - 4.4+ pounds.Eh, different market. MS is aiming at creatives. That dell doesn't come with a digitizer stylus, which is a huge deal for a lot of creative professionals looking for an alternative to a Wacom tethered to a laptop.
I think the whole Surface line has been very popular with photographers, designers, etc.
I do photography as a hobby and I can tell you it's a godsend to be able to quick edit photos out in the field, in the past you just waited till you got back home or where ever and upload them on your desktop. Now if you don't like what you see in an editor while still on site you could reshoot immediately . I do a lot of landscape-nature photos and you sure don't want to pack a laptop into the forest.Eh, different market. MS is aiming at creatives.
