To me, the most attractive thing about this device is that it's fanless and relatively cool. My 'on the go' device is a 2012 XPS 13 which gets very hot and is uncomfortable to use as a 'laptop' on bare skin. That's the real progress we've made, the power efficiency of mobile devices.

  But the iPad pro LTE is significantly (6-7x ?)more expensive and you are still only using it as a dumb terminal.
