While you can improvise this by resting the screen halfway across the trackpad, everything feels wobbly and insecure. It could be that through testing a single position was decided upon that proved popular to the most users, but I was looking for a shallower angle. Contrast that to the kickstand on the Surface Pro hardware which offers an infinite number of angles, this feels like a missed opportunity.
