I had a look at this in a store today, in a glamorous little surface island in the tech store.
It's really quite a creature. The easy movement of the hinge, the lightness and the handfeel/weight, the fabric keyboard cover....It's just as beautiful as a functional object as they made it sound. Very similar look to the surface pro 4 too, in its way.
It's kinda hard to believe they can cram a fanless i5 in there, given the weight. And the battery life for the size is also very impressive
Considering how many use laptops - for portability, and input, especially students etc, it really is very nice.
