Hopefully. It's a stupid combination anyway.

yea, I agree as touchscreen notebooks have always been a gimmick to me.

It's not that stupid if the screen has an active pen digitizer on it.

Never owned one too much of a gimmick if I want to use a PC I use my gaming rig, I'm usually always on my Nvidia Shield Tablet.

Yeah, they're gonna be gone soon. Tablets are catching up to notebooks faster than notebook manufacturers expected.

Even if you took the basic i3 Surface Pro, it has almost as much functionality as a notebook with automatic touch and the ability to be a tablet.

Moving forward, devices will have to be more nimble. Can't be carrying around multiple things that do almost everything the same.
