My i7 Surface 4 Pro is the best laptop I have ever owned. (And I was using a Lenovo X1 before that, which is already pretty awesome; never used a MacBook, though).
It boots up ervy quickly, maintains WiFi and blutooth connections through sleep and is decently powerful. For me personally, the kickstand doesn't present an issue in terms of "lapability". It is, however, a problem on Economy class flights, where Z-axis desk space is limited.
I'd argue that you should think of the Surface as a "laptop, that you can also use as a tablet". As other have mentioned, it is rather heavy for extended tablet use.
I don't see a reason to upgrade from a Surface Pro 4 to a Surface Pro 5. I am nonetheless very happy to see that the Surface Pro line is being maintained and I am looking forward to a 6th or 7th iteration.
