I would love to see "Cable Connection" between the SurfaceBook clipboard and keyboard base that would allow the display to be used in a tethered mode. This even applies to something as simple a signing a document.Įither the MS dock designers did not understand the pen, or more likely MS decided to market the dock to consumers that were perceived as not ready to embrace the pen interface. Positioning the angle an location of the Surface really required for a natural/efficient feel. Drafting (AutoCAD) and Art/drawing feels more natural with a pen, but also require a keyboard that is not in the way. This kind of interaction is really easier with the Surface tethered to a puck than anchored in a fixed angle dock. To be clear, Staffpad is not the only program where this is the case. Take a look at the introductory video at. If you actually want to use the pen, the new "puck" style is superior. If that is all you use the pen for, the Surface 3 style dock is fine. From the MS advertisements you might think that the pen is only good for circling and highlighting. The pen is a real differentiator for the Surface.

The ratio of people that will want or own the dock over those that will just want new SP4 probably isn't enough of a concern. you may not care, but others do: Thinner and more power are selling points. ![]() That the device is thinner and still employs it's cooling mechanism, crazy hinges, electrified tension cable locks, better display, dGPU, etc, in such a form factor is important. This isn't about race to be thinner, etc, it's about show casing what can be done and that innovation can still occur. Historically, they've been good about listening and keeping support live. What would Windows have been like a decade ago if Microsoft had just left 32bit behind and dropped legacy support altogether. ![]() That they have spacers and what not is nice, but sometimes you have to let the past go.
