The price is certainly not a low point, and it makes the big misses even more unjustifiable and hard-hitting. There are a couple of lows too, the lowest possibly being the omission of the Thunderbolt and the Surface Pen, as well as the fan noise that results from optimum performance at the peak power settings.
