Your experience is vastly different from mine. The lack of hinge mechanism and the relatively thin keyboard do not make for a true laptop experience. I never could get comfortable with it in such a position.
Again, the Surface is a very capable unit, and I rather like mine, but I just have to remember its limitations.
