I liked my X41 Tablet, but Windows Tablet wasn't impressive at that time.

That is the problem with the convertable. It adds a lot of weight to it. My SLATE is 1.86 lbs and the keyboard is maybe .75. Mouse is a few oz. Total is under 3 lbs. And when you don't need the keyboard and mouse, you only have 1.86 lbs.
With the convertable, it is going to weigh 6+ no matter what you do. What do you see as the advantage to flipping the screen over for the convertable? Under what circumstance would you do that?
