Feels like we're talking about 2 totally different machines - I'm using one right now, and always use it or a Surface Pro 7, and I couldn't be happier. I use one of them on my lap 95% of the time (I generally work from a recliner). I love the keyboard in this situation. I guess I've never tried putting weight on it - maybe that's a different keyboarding approach; I think the ergonomic recommendation is to not rest your hands on the keyboard, IIRC. I'm entirely satisfied with the performance. Although mainly I'm coding in a terminal through ssh, so I don't push it much. But for videos, browsing, etc I've never had any issues. Along with the very pleasant WSL Linux experience, I also wouldn't want to go back to a computer without a touchscreen and excellent stylus support. Of course, I could get that with an iPad Pro, but then I don't have a real computer - so I'd need 2 devices (which I used to do, and hated it). Being able to read and annotate papers with a pen (including in portrait mode) is very nice, as is presenting from a computer I can draw on directly. I'm surprised at how long the battery lasts, and like the magnetic connection to power or docking station. The dock is really nice too, although I don't use it as much as I used to, since I'm mainly using it on my lap nowadays.
