I deliberated a long time on this purchase because of the high price tag but it was worth it. I love just about everything about it--the sharp graphics, the touch screen, the tilt that allows me to lower the screen almost flat and  read or mark up documents with the stylus while standing up. I am very happy to operate in the Microsoft universe. I'm using Office 365 which has so many great features for a writer. The marketing skews towards visual artists but the Studio 2 offers great functionality for writing and editing. It's a beautiful machine. And I did save about $100 on Amazon compared to other sellers. My only criticism is that the ports located on the back of the stand are hard to reach.
