I probably would have bought this 2 months ago when I was ready to replace my original Surface Pro... and definitely would have bought it a year and a half ago when I saw what the Atom z3xxx-powered tablets (like the original T100TA) could do in that form factor.
That said, having gone from a T100TA to a Surface Pro and back to a T100TAM (metal back version with newer processor), I probably would have still been unhappy with the kickstand form factor given its lack of versatility on airline tray tables.
