Looks like a nice incremental improvement to the Surface Pro line.

The "no fan" option on the Core i5 could be quite nice, one of the annoyances about the Surface Pro 3 that I've seen was the noise of the fans.

I'm curious, does "no fan" mean no vents? Cos it will overheat once dust accumulates.

It has vents. It may even have active cooling by other means (e.g. Lumia 950 smartphones are water-cooled).

Don't think dust will gather inside the device that easily if there is no fan to suck it in.
