Doesn't really give you a "laptop" experience, but at least you can still set up shop on a table.
Anyways, it sounds cool. To me, the specs seem pretty conservative so hopefully it's a low cost device. Something cool to hack on.
It's cool to see a "working" tablet that uses a bluetooth mouse & keyboard combo that debunks the stupidity of the "convertable" machines that nobody buys which mostly seem to be an excuse to make a machine with a touchscreen to also have a trackpad.

The only thing that didn't work so well was sleep (only slept the first time); that's sometimes the case even with "normal" PCs, I'm sure that can be sorted out given enough effort.
The situation is not so good with the Surface Pro 4... a matter of time, I guess. I've been reading even Microsoft is yet to get Windows working perfectly on it, so...
