When I first read the title, I thought to myself: everyone I've showed it to has loved the design. It wasn't clear from the title that this was in reference to a build/tear down design review. I do notice a fair bit of screws on the back of the device when I pop up the kickstand...not that I really care about that cause they're almost always hidden but after using a plastic Series 7 that's a little too flexible (especially after holding Surface RT), I really appreciate the extra rigidity that I 'think' all of those screws are providing.
