Looks to be priced in line with what most people were probably expecting. My concerns are battery life, how well the Windows desktop works with touch on such a small and hi-res screen and how well the pen works, especially pressure sensitivity in things like Photoshop.
On a 11.6 1366x768 I'm able to drive the Windows desktop with touch pretty well and with the enlargement of system text fonts a lot of apps are actually quite usable with touch on the desktop. Of course there's the desktop scaling that can help but that can cause some odd side effects in certain programs that I've noticed. But this will be my next I think.
