Is it really laptop mode though, or does the surface pro 3 still require a table to use effectively? I might buy this if I could actually use it well on my lap!
My Pro2 is ok on the lap, but not brilliant. It's the fact that the keyboard isn't rigidly attached to the screen which makes it feel unstable. Although it's perfectly satisfactory to type, the experience isn't as good as with a netbook or MBP11.
I agree. Also, I think it relies too much on your physical proportions; if you have short legs and/or a big gut, you probably can't use it on your lap.
Given the reduced weight and width in the design budget, its a shame they don't offer a counterweighted keyboard as an accessory (with possible extension battery acting as the weight?). Although I understand why from a marketing perspective...
