User replaceable parts are a strong plus. On the flip side I'd be reluctant to pursue a 2 in 1 system that makes keyboard keys touch the table. Doesn't this add a certain wear on the keyboard? An i5 Surface Pro is fanless - as is e.g. the Spectre Folio - and provides way enough oomph for a full fledged BiaB installation.

There are plenty of alternatives around these days, though. E.g. -> www.laptopmag.com/articles/best-surface-pro-alternatives
