[QUOTE=AntonioR;52178684]Wow, the guy completely missed that the screen is actually a touchscreen and supports the Surface Pen too. I bet he is not even aware of it. Also his enthusiasm is like he is talking about a gum stuck on his shoe. I know the laptop is nothing really special, but c'mon.[/QUOTE]
"The gorgeous screen supports touch and pen input, though the pen is not included in the box." C'mon dude, read the article.

Damn it, you are right. I watched the whole video and then read the paragraph about the screen and even made a search for "Surface Pen". Still, should have talked about it in the video too.
Honestly, it's just a marginally overpriced laptop. The touchscreen isn't all too impressive considering there's no 360 degree hinge (no point writing on that thing). At this point, you can get a MacBook with better specs for the same price, which is kind of depressing. Hell, you could find i7/8GB laptops from basically any PC OEM for that price. Hell, you can get a SP4 at the same specs for way cheaper, and it includes W10 and a pen. (And then there's the joke that is W10 S, of course.)
If they included a better hinge I would have considered it (along the lines of the XPS 13 2in1 - I still have a fetish for convertibles ever since they came into existence) but at this point the only reason to buy one of these is if you really have a hard-on for Microsoft's support, which is very good but not enough of a reason to bother. The only reason this exists is to try to claw away a little more at MacBook buyers, which most of us aren't.
I was honestly waiting for a Surface 5 announcement but no go, I guess.
