Just use Ctrl + Cmd + Q to put a Mac to sleep.

For a start, that small board holding the storage chip is not a part consumers could easily acquire for themselves. It's a custom Apple part, so it's intended more for in-house repairs. 

I understand when Apple has to charge considerably more for storage to be able to make the base price low, or for a product to not be user upgradable because it's too small, or that it has to be glued. But this, this is just evil.

I tried it at the Apple Store three times, I spent a total of two hours writing and drawing using the Apple Pencil. I came out with the following conclusion:

• AI and hand writing recognition is a little on the slow side, but I can get used to it. I am sure it would be considerably faster with an M processor.
• Apple's Smart Script is great, but it still feels like it needs work, which is expected for a new feature.
• One of the biggest disadvantage for me was that Smart Script only works in Notes, for now. The problem with Notes is you can't pinch to zoom.
• The screen is very slippery for the Pencil (No surprises here since it's the same screen as the Air and Pro) but you end up writing very large letters and the small screen begins to feel smaller. Add the lack of pinch to zoom and you end up with a list of critical blockers.

If I were to use it for other than taking notes and drawing with the Apple Pencil, it would be a great little device.
