Add two months of waiting for shipping (if you are lucky enough to get it from the first batch).
Seems like a bizarre margin to try to justify with the tablet/kickstand gimmick.
2) Laptop
3) External Display (it has a DP-in port).The tablet form factor is not a gimmick to me. It's why I've used the Surface Pro line since the Surface Pro 2.
The versatility is unmatched, especially in tight spaces.
It can handle 30W TDP if you use RyzenAdj to force it higher, not bad at 70C. Supports integer scaling at 800p quite well, if you enable it in the registry.
Laptops/tablets have always been about compromise. This one's value comes from the (probably) better screen, light weight & added RAM capacity.
IMO they are still a Neville nobody brand that just can't charge that sort of money.
