I'd buy a Courier as shown in that video right now, and all it is is a OneNote appliance.

I love the idea of being able to write new form-factor-sensitive apps as needed for a tiled window manager that resizes to accomodate a keyboard, or a ZUI on one screen, CLI on the other, or the traditional browser in one screen, terminal and VS in the other.

IFF they don't lock this down so much with Windows Lite/Windows 10 X (apparently 10 is now glued to the word Windows no matter what), Centaurus / Surface Neo has the potential to be an excellent device.

Edit: and am I glad it wasn't cancelled, not sure if I want to handle another Booklet PC being cancelled on me after getting excited about it.
