For me, the keypoint is the haptic feeling. As a mechanical keyboard enthusiast, for me the physical "feeling" of the things I use in daily life is a very important and underrated aspect.

Most of the time I find myself switching between my pencil/notebook and google docs. The feel of the pencil on the notebook, the friction, the feeling of pressing on the notebook is a matter of satisfaction which we cannot find on tablets. On the other hand, the flexibility of digital stuff is a must.

With iPhone 7, I am satisfied with the haptic feeling of pressing a button. A similar achievement on a surface would be revolutionary.
