Microsoft's 12-inch Surface Pro is cheaper but unfixes a decade-old design problem
Briefly

The new 12-inch Surface Pro features a familiar design but introduces notable downgrades. One key change is its keyboard case that, unlike previous models, lies flat on surfaces, creating potential instability when typing on soft or uneven surfaces. Additionally, while it supports styluses and retains USB-C ports, the absence of the Surface Connect port means it is incompatible with past keyboard accessories. These changes reverse some advancements made in earlier Surface models that provided better usability and stability for users.
