I haven't had any problem with the kickstands of the Surfaces I have. I've even sat on my Surface 3 more than a handful of times, bending the stand and snapping it shut in the wrong direction. Still works.

not sure if serious. The surface chargers were made poorly and become hazards on both ends of the device.
Plus type c cables are becoming more common, making it more likely you can charge the device without getting proprietary shit.
Microsoft expected companies to do this and go above and beyond, which seems to be the case here.

I need to the actual processor inside. I'd love to forgo a traditional desktop with all of these GPU docks coming out.

I would've loved if they took aim at the Surface Book instead. That hinge and accelerated dock <3

I need to actually touch it. Going by the transformers history, they were never really that great tbh. Maybe the t100 when the original surface 2( not the pro) was out. It was a good value and you had more storage.
So I would want to see how it feels and how it performs.

This.
But I am glad MS finally was able to light a fire under OEMs to make better products. As I am very satisfied with my Microsoft products (Pro 4 and my 950XL) I will most likely stay with the surface line unless an OEM truly steps up to the plate.
Either way this is good for the consumer as a whole!

That's my main concern with Asus. I really like the Zenbook line, but all Transformers I've come across have been kind of chintzy.
Ewwww
The one on the surface 3 is the bare minimum that I would go with. I'm really hoping that the Acer Alpha Switch 12 ends up being solid at 599. Need to have that competition to encourage sales and push down the prices

It looks like Synaptics pen. I'm out.
Vga is blurry as fuck compared to dvi?

If the $999 is Core i5 + 8 GB RAM, then this is a for sure purchase for me. I hope the pen is good, though. The Type-C charging is really nice, and I hope the GPU dock isn't too horrifyingly expensive.

It's certainly not Wacom EMR. The chassis for the Kaby Lake version is too thin. Wacom AES is currently 2048 levels of pressure, not 1024 so it's not Wacom AES either.
Also the pen tip shape is a dead give away. No Wacom pen's tip is shaped like a cone. It's either N-Trig or Synaptic. More likely Synaptic since most N-Trig pens have moved on to removable tip like Wacom.
Another point is that Asus has been using Synaptics lately so they are keeping with them.
I've got a pile of dead Zenbooks here, mostly UX31s and UX303s - a failed attempt at moving our exec laptop fleet to Asus. I've never seen so many laptops die in such a short amount of time in my entire life in enterprise. Love the look of the T3 Pro but I have no faith in their build quality.
Nope. On 1080p monitors you can't even tell which is which, digital only comes into play at higher res and refresh rates, the average office user wil never notice a difference.
