I was thinking about getting the book, foolishly thinking it was a slightly bigger Surface Pro, with special connections allowing it to connect to a GPU based keyboard. It is not.
- Only 1/4 of the batteries are in the Tablet part
(12/4 = 3 hours battery life)
- No stand on the back of the tablet
- No ports (other then headphones) in the tablet part
So it's really really tethered to the base, and therefore for me is a laptop with a gimmick, rather then a really amazing useful 2 in 1 device.
I was blown away when I first saw the presentation, and it was on my to buy list. But the drawbacks are huge, this is clearly like the surface pro 1. I'll wait until they get it right on the third iteration...
Or better yet, lose the crappy name, and make the surface pro 5 have the ability to dock into the keyboard part. That way you don't have devices from the same company competing against each other.
So, that's why instead I ordered a Surface Pro 4. Yay!
