10" is too small for productivity/creativity and too big for one handed use. Also, it lacks professional applications like Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. And, with the Surface Pro 4 Core M3/4GB/128GB frequently on sale for $550 the blown up iPods like the $899 12.9" 4GB/128GB are a tough sell while the 9.7" with only 2GB won't be sufficient for anything complex or large.

If there is a Surface 4 or Surface Pro 5 with a next gen M3 with 8gb RAM at a good price point, I might just sell my Mini 4 and use that. I had the Pro 4 M3 and it was nice, but never used it because of my Mac.

We shall see.

I'm looking forward to this finding its audience. It seems like a good experience, possibly. I'd get one if DeX came with a laptop experience.

That's a good idea. I'd love to be able to wirelessly drive my phone from my laptop, specifically from my surface pro 4. Yeah I know, it's a bit meaningless. But if there was some way to just use it as a screen for dex maybe it would have more battery life. Might be cool for games and such as well.

But I guess we can do a lot of that stuff with chrome cast anyway.
