    <p>The 3:2 display would be a buy for me almost immediately. </p>

    <p>I'd still expect USB C for future proofing of the Surface Pro 5. Not having USB C would hurt sales from people wanting something more future proof, and I can't believe MS would release a refresh without it. I expected they'd keep the magnet connector to avoid the mistake Apple is widely thought to have made removing their similar magnet connector from MacBooks (MagSafe), especially since tests of the new MacBook showed their USB C ports can be ruined when simulating tripping over their power cords.</p>

    <p>I kind of like the subtle neon effects. But if you have certain visual impairments, those kinds of clever and pleasing nuances can become problematic when it comes to highlighting, because the selected text doesn't sufficiently stand out. </p>
