I've had a notebook like the Surface Laptop Studio - Sony VAIO Flip 15 (2014) - right before Sony sold VAIO.

I've had it send in for repairs because the touchscreen was unresponsive a bunch of times before I got my money back and bought a Thinkpad (T440s). It was a software issue because a reboot always fixed it. But I bought it for school so the main part randomly stops working while taking notes was a deal breaker.

The concept isn't bad. But the height of it while being a tablet on a surface is a pain to comfortably use a pen.

I also like the concept. Did you face issues with heat management, was your device fanless? That's often one of my main concern with those 2-1, if you want a good CPU, you often have throttling issues because it's really difficult to design a good cooling system for such a unique form factor.
