Windows 10 S leaves a lot to be desired

Windows 10 S is quite limiting

Windows 10 S is limited
No USB-C
Lack of other ports
Not upgradable
Screen isn't quite as good as the Surface Pro
Disappointing port allocation
Expensive

Really expensive if viewed as a highend Chromebook competitor
Keyboard is a bit wobbly
Lack of ports
Windows S won't install Creative Cloud
No Pen included
Expensive for higher-end models
No USBC
No SD card reader
No fingerprint scanner
Windows 10 S (but free upgrade before 2018)
Limited configuration options
Windows 10 S is not nearly enough for most people. A standard laptop isn't great for pen and touch. Cortanaled setup is obnoxious
