I've never used one, but I suspect one of the benefits is with the CPU on the screen side, you don't get bacon legs like you would with a traditional laptop.

I have SP4 - despite many other issues I have with it, the kickstand DOES make it great to use on a lap. In fact I find it much easier to use on my lap than any laptop that I have used.

Being able to adjust to any angle means you can use it just as comfortably in an airport chair vs on a lounge etc.

I don't get how the kickstand could actually make it easier to use than a normal laptop. Can't you adjust the angle on any laptop?

I have a Surface 3 and it's doable. Mind that the device is also a bit smaller than the usual laptop, so there's enough space (on my knees at least) to place the kickstand.
