This is a tempting device, but I'll probably wait for version 2.

I feel like this is a step into the future where everyone carries one cloud connected device that can then be docked when you want to get serious work done. Is there an official dock that makes it simple to connect it to an extra monitor, keyboard, speakers, etc ?

Other manufacturers are also making similar devices. For example checkout the Lenovo Helix http://www.lenovo.com/products/us/tablet/thinkpad/thinkpad-h... and here is CES quick look showing the different modes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yk3KyW_6Ug

The keyboard base has USB 3 and displayport (separate from those on the "tablet" bit). They also have a USB 3 dock that then has video, audio, more USB etc ports.

I don't like the way that lenovo puts their "Fn" key where the (left) "Ctrl" key should be, other than that it looks nice

On my Lenovo laptop, there's a BIOS setting to swap them, which I was very happy to find!

I'll see if I can find that setting on my laptop as well :) thanks

Lenovo introduced the BIOS setting in late 2009. If you have an older system there may be an updated BIOS. Here is a video showing how to do it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uR955qVc068
