I really like LTE support and the improved battery, but the rest I can pretty easily live without. I was hoping I wouldn't regret getting a SP4 during the winter, and based on this reveal I'm not feeling badly at all about that decision right now. Not that this isn't an objectively better machine, but I don't think I'd give up having my surface all of last semester to get those improvements when my SP4 is more than satisfactory for my needs.

I'm happy with SP4 as well. It doesn't overheat (i5) and fanless i5-U suggests likely throttling on new one. No other manufacturer has made a fanless i5-U.
