For existing SP owners, how often do you use it just as a tablet (without keyboard)? Just wondering that if keyboard and mouse such a necessity then why not just buy laptop?

This vs ipad pro 10.5? Anyone can comment?

Both are totally diff. cannot compare.
If u just want a tablet to surf internet, games, youtube etc, go for ipad.
SP is for those who wants a full windows os to use for work or study. U will hardly use it as a tablet unless u install android emulator.

For me, I find SP is much light than a laptop, thus ultra portable even with the KB & a mouse. I have owned 6 laptops, including a SP4 & a MSI 17" gaming laptop, in 8yr, SP is still the best (for office work).

The pen is useful for me to take notes & draw.

I enjoyed the SP5 speakers. Good highs and mids. Not much on bass but I am not a bass fan.

Usually Spotify, YouTube, write some documents, drawing. Its really a perfect on the go device with sufficient power for 95% of tasks besides gaming or professional processing.

Using M3 version.

Not sure if i'm gonna get the pen. Seems like no other use except to write notes. I'm still using the classic pen and paper for my note taking :s13:

Which of the stores have physical stocks for SP 5.

Seems like the pen is out of stock on MS website, Hachi also.

Anyone got the full set from the stores ?

SP 5 , Signature Cover, Arc Mouse & Pen

Planning to get the whole Cobalt Blue set but does not seem to be able to buy the whole set online.

Need it before the month end due to flying off soon
