SP3 vs SP4

I had pretty much decided to pass on sp4, given all the trouble sp3 has given me (3 replacements, countless disk wipes).
but if the following rumors are true, I may reconsider:
* 16G memory and 1T disk
* faster chip without crazy spinning fan (note: does NOT have to be fanless to be an improvement)
* bezel-less 13"ish screen on existing chassis in desktop mode
* when flipped to portrait mode, simulated bezel where edges of the screen stay dark except for "soft" windows button at the bottom (switches based on your orientation)
* thinner (can just have a shim to make it fit in current Dock, or hold it toward you when docking)
* "keyboard dock" that makes it truly lappable and adds most of the ports you get with normal dock, yet not so bulky/heavy.

It's been speculated that it will share the same form factor as the SP3. It'd be nice if the screen was a little larger but fit the same footprint. I do not believe this will be a tempting upgrade for a happy SP3 user. However, I'm interested as I dropped my poor baby and the screen now has a little yellowing in the upper left hand corner.

Come on. Ballmer's "Developers, Developers, Developers" rant was a classic.
I would argue for the wrong reasons
but, heh, he's kind of a legend in his own right!
Pen also works on SP3, IDK if there's any difference in the way it works or not.
