>you have to constantly switch between input modes which is extremely annoying.

I never switch modes unless I am switching tasks.

Desktop tasks (writing code, workign with office apps) all mouse/keyboard/trackpad

Consumption tasks (news, video) all use touch with keyboard folded out of the way

Drawing and taking notes I use the stylus.

I see this as having the right input mode available for each of my tasks, not some sort of "nightmare".

You're right. Honestly. The problem is, I've had this device since day one and switching between input modes still gets in the way. It is not a fluid experience. That's all I was saying. I am an "artist", writer, coder, consumer, and gamer. I carry the pen in my pocket and use it regularly. I have the cool little bluetooth touch mouse and enjoy it when gaming/coding. The on-screen keyboard is actually pretty awesome and I can touch type on it with surprising accuracy. BUT... I still have to consciously determine which input method I want to use for which app. If I'm on the desktop, and my Twitter app goes off, I switch back to Modern. I can continue using the mouse somewhat clumsily, or I can switch to touch input which works great. Then, I switch back to desktop and every darn time I'm still trying to use touch. Maybe I'm dense. Maybe I'm just hoping that one day the transition will be seamless... but, for me, it's not, and that is annoying (even if only mildly.)
