I think the design is brilliant. Nice 4:3 ratio. This essentially doubles as a full screen you can put anywhere with a keyboard always at hand. That's how I use my laptop 99.9% of the time. The microsoft book is already better than a regular clamshell in my eyes for versatility, but If you ignore the price for a moment (which brings the book to ridicolous costs), IMHO this design beats a clamshell design in versatility a 1000 times over, and the detachable screen design as well.

I have a X1 Fold Tablet, and it's the best device I've ever owned I like it so much that I spent time to make it work great under Windows 11: check https://csdvrx.github.io/ https://csdvrx.github.io/

  ... you need to manually fix it for Windows? Does it ship with Linux or something? Edit: Great read - and your your enthusiasm for the device is getting me interested in it, but what an incredible software shit show. Imagine spending millions on hardware R&D only to release a product that's unusable due to terrible software. Why do manufacturers keep doing this?

Microsoft didn't deliver the OS they were supposed to (bad) but Windows 11 is everything and more (good) Intel... well, it's Intel. If you go into plane mode before suspend and play with the device manager to restart the device when the driver crashes or use one of my approaches or scripts, it works great!

      Does it work fine with Windows 10 Pro? I don't care for Windows 11 yet, only plan to upgrade when I need to and / or when the hardware is upgrade.

      I also avoided the Lenovo because of the many, especially software, 1st gen rough edges, but the (Surface Neo) form factor is very appealing. Part of that form factor is the included magnetic wireless keyboard. We actually had touch-enabled dual-screen keyboardless clamshells before.

  Do you have any thoughts with the ASUS vs. what you have? Dang that's an info heavy page that you wrote haha.

    Lenovo I trust. Asus, uh... not much on a 1st gen device In any case, the design is essentially the same, and I care about the form factor. Anything else I can find a way to make it work (or make a way)

      Why don't you trust Asus?

Might be nice to use at 17" with a 60% mechanical keyboard.
