A:Answer This deal is hundreds of dollars cheaper than buying the tablet by itself with the same specs. You can't change the color or upgrade but what you can do is add the surface pen which is better than the slim pen in my opinion, that would give you everything needed. If you want the slim pen, keyboard with pen dock, and a different color, you could get it separately for just under $200 and sell the included keyboard for $100 making the upgrade only $100 more... it's your choice!
