Very likely negative margins.
The product was best summer up to me so: "if you want a heavy tablet which can sorta be a laptop, surface is ideal. Otherwise if you want the robustness of a laptop and occasional tablet use, try a yoga."
Having used both, the yoga turned out to be the superior use case when I wanted a stable and robust screen.
If I wanted to sketch something, I wish I had a pro 3.
For me, and I suppose many other users - it's coming down to broadwell and the surface 4. (Or if they want to branch out with accessories, a stronger and more robust keyboard accessory)
But the device does cram an awful lot into its chasis. No matter what, MS did a good job on the design.
