> Clipboard mode is not the ideal form factor of the surface book.

You misunderstood, or I wasn't clear enough. It's the ideal form factor for me when waiting in an airport.



Then you're looking for a tablet with an optional keyboard. If the Surface Pro seems dodgy wrt support the iPad Pro may be a better fit, the keyboard seems to provide more support than the Surface Pro's kickstand: http://cdn.maypalo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/iPad-Pro-k... (I don't know how flexible it is with respect to viewing angles though)


However, the iPad Pro runs smartphone/tablet level software, whereas the Surface Pro runs full-strength desktop software.

It depends what you need, of course, but they're not interchangeable for most pro users....


Why can't you use it with the screen reversed like [1]?
