Given how hard the two biggest tech companies are shilling the tablet + pen combo, how long before that becomes the default personal computer set up?
Not long but we need raven ridge APUs to make them non-trash. A 15W TDP limit can only provide so much performance on shitty intel chips.

I wish the Surface Pro had USB-C with Thunderbolt so I could hook it up to an eGPU.

Neither of them even include the pen. S3 tablet does though.

The surface 100% comes with the pen.

But not the keyboard. What the fuck?
I have a soft spot for the old Galaxy Note 8. It was the only tablet I've ever come across that was the right size, and had a stylus that worked well enough, to whip out of your pocket and use as an electronic notepad. Surface and especially the iPad pro are simply too big to balance on your knee for this kind of freehand note-taking.

the ipad pro is a fantastic (((tablet))) - great screen, pen is great. but you're locked into apple ecosystem
the surface is trying to be a macbook + an ipad and it's not doing a great job at either. Writing with it isn't nearly as good as the ipad and the actual build is weak compared to price-comparable laptops
the problem is android isn't a good tablet os. it was always meant for phone, not for more powerful tablets.
Someone is going to have to step in and make a dedicated tablet like apple did with the ipad.
