HP partnered with Microsoft in the design, apparently...

Its getting close to useful.

1. Its a flipbook not a 2 in one.
2. There is no external SATA port for attached storage
3. There is no option (that I saw) for upgraded graphics.

I really, really wanted to go to a 2 in one, but nothing was quite up to my requirements, at least not in my price range.

I need all 3 of the above features (no, I don't need no stinkin' NAS)at a reasonable price.

In the end, I settled for a quad core i5, 16gb of ram, a realy slick and very quiet PSU and a 256gb SSD in a nice compact case for $700. I'll add a good graphics card as soon as I'm ready to play Dragon Age Inquisition.

Give me the above (well maybe not the quadore) at a reasonable premium for the form factor and I'll move to a 2 in one.
