Alcantara is the reason why surface laptop not have 360° hinge?

It's my opinion, because if have 360° hinge, surface laptop can dirty faster.

I think they just intended to stick to the actual laptop form!

I like the alcantara, it gives the laptop a very luxurious look. Also a laptop form is what they were looking for in this model, a 360 hinge was not really in mind

msft didnt need a 360 hinge. they got surface pro and surface book models to address tablet usage. im guessing they just wanted to make a really good pure laptop.
