Well almost. Mostly this is a refactor of the ms surface pro with a slimmer lighter form factor. There is an 11 inch screen and a detachable keyboard. This is not a consumption tablet--its for engineering, designer student types who want a full computer and active digitizer in tablet form. For me, the big
wins are true file tree, sketchbook pro, reason, mathtype, mathematica and adobe digital editions on a tablet. Thats enough to redirect my ipad5 budget. Anyone looking at this? Perhaps apple has and that is the basis of the ipad maxi rumor
 
no styluses w/ apple products for sure.

Also, unless they undercut current surface prices I can see it tank just as bad as the surface pro.

I do agree a surface pro is the best thing for design/engineer students.
