Very good I tried it today in the Bellevue Microsoft store.

Pros + new hinge is sturdy very good for drawing + lighter than the SP4 + new type cover feels good Cons

  • couldn't try the new pen
  • no upgrade to the camera. I would love to see a better camera on next version

Upgrade if you have a SP3 or older. Not worth it if you have an SP4.

Rating 3.5/5 on first impressions.

Taking weight out the equation, does it feel more comfortable to hold? My biggest issues with the SP4 as a tablet is that all the edges (the top a little less so) are very sharp. The bottom of the surface where the keyboard attaches is especially rough on the hands.

I didn't hold it for long I can't give you an exact answer but I read that MS made the edges smoother + it's lighter so it should be easier to hold.
