Seriously, the only way they’ll care about these tactics is when it’s used against them.

definitely check for known compatibility issues before you buy. I have a Pro 9 and the sleep/wake is pretty awful. It really doesn’t handle well docking/undocking or attaching/detaching the keyboard when asleep.
