Pricey, £1600 quid in our money, probably more, as tech is cheaper in the US.
You could have the same spec i7 base or better in a nice lappy imo.
Spectre x360 2in1: i7, 512gig ssd, qhd screen etc. can be had for £1100 next day delivered. Plus £140 cash back.
Lose a touch on screen resolution (1440 vs 2000) but on a 13" screen I reckon higher than 1440 isn't really anymore beneficial, although I'll reserve judgement til I see it in the flesh.
Biggest drawback is weight: 1.5kg is quite hefty for a tablet, but that's the trade off for i7 performance: the need for bigger batteries.

To be honest I only use the tablet mode when doing in car diagnostics (where space is tight) or reading documents in portrait.
Problem I have is most of the automotive software I use doesn't scale very well on high resolution displays. For example; Mercedes's online service history portal which is a Java based app is displayed in minuscule proportions; can barely read icons and text. Unless some bright chappy comes up with a workable scaling solution for legacy applications its really hindering the hardware's potential.
