after owning the sp2 for a week id like to share my impressions for prospective buyers:
as a laptop:
gaming performance is fantastic but touch control in steam games might not work as well as you would expect, xcom is playable with touch controls but it feels finicky. i often had to double press buttons to get them to work.
the desktop app can feel a little cramped at times but there's also a weird pleasure that comes with operating full windows in such a small screen with such a high resolution. i cant help but feel posh, like im using a spy gadget. and though its cramped, im never squinting to see things or generally uncomfortable. actually, the only time the screen size feels restrictive is when youre trying to micro in starcraft. but once again on the posh factor, having starcraft run so well on such a small and slim device just feels cool.
as tablet:
way better than i expected. i never feel uncomfortable using this as a tablet. i used my hp touchpad resting on my lap on the bus, and i do the same with the pro. in fact its more comfortable that the hp touch pad on the bus because sometimes i feel like just using the kick stand.
also, as a tablet, it feels so stupidly fast. yes the pro is a bulky and weighty tablet (though still comfortable in my opinion), but its also by far the fastest tablet of this size and weight on the market. zipping around the internet on tablet feels really cool, it feels like a nice surprise each time.
that's it for now. i definitely recommend this for people who are looking to have a good ~$900 laptop and tablet as one device rather than blowing $300 on a generally comparable tablet (nexus 7) and $600 on what would probably be a worse laptop, and then having to sync files between them. not to mention the weight and space issues of carrying two devices.
all in all:
if you put about equal stock in the laptop and tablet experiences, then i would get a sp2.
if you put 75%+ weight on the laptop experience and dont care about drawing, i would look at the yoga2
