I'll be the odd one out and say that I will miss the kickstand on the Surface Book. For me, the kickstand is what has made the SP3 into the best computing device I've ever used. While a proper laptop will cover many of the same cases as the kickstand, there are times when the kickstand can function as a hook, allowing the surface to be used in positions a laptop simply wouldn't be practical. Probably my favorite example is to hook the SP3 over my steering wheel (not while driving!), and allow the keyboard to drape down mostly vertically. Certainly not the most productive position, but for videoconferencing on the go, it's come in handy half a dozen times. Another similar one is lying down with my knees up. The stand wedges it nicely between my legs, with the keyboard over my thighs. It's fairly comfortable, and pretty good for typing. Otherwise, Surface Book looks terrific. :)
