Well the media and fans seem to be gushing over this, but I'm not so sure.

There are two batteries, one in the keyboard and one in the tablet. So presumably the battery life as a tablet will only be about 6 hours. And if their estimates are similar to how they estimated my Surface 3, expect much less than that.

It will be top heavy, with the screen weighing almost as much as the base.

The hinge leaves a fairly big gap along the edge when closed, which also makes it 1" thick along one edge. That's traditional laptop thickness.

The screen/keyboard connection is an electronically actuated mechanism.

Other than the discrete graphics, I'm not seeing much appeal in this over a Surface Pro.
