1 - Going out from sleep can probably be adjusted from Windows' power settings (check in the "buttons and cover behavior" section or something like that). I don't like my computers to go to sleep because it disconnects them from network and I'm using terminal application, and since I'm also using the tablet PC to watch streaing movies on the big screen TV and I usually close the lid so takes less room and keeps quiet, I changed the "close cover" option to "do nothing", so the computers stays on.
In this mode, closing the keyboard still turns the screen automatically off, and guess what, it does turn it back on as soon as you open the keyboard. It just couldn't behave better to my taste.
2 - Fitting an USB C charging feature would probably be impossible. remember you're using a true i3 / i5 / i7 processor, not a low power Atom processor. As a consequence, the provided power supply delivers 20V, not 5V, so you really can't feed so much voltage to an USB port (5V only).
Charging this device with 5V would need a probably bulky and heat emitting switching power supply inside the tablet, and would most probably need too many Amps than an USB C socket could handle with its tiny pins.
Let's do a quick calculation : the power supply unit provides 2.25 A under 20 V, for a maximum power of 45 W. If you had to provide the same power under 5 V, the USB C connector should be able to handle 9 A. It really sounds like totally too much for an USB C socket and it would probably burn and melt it.
The i3 model would probably not draw the full 45 W out of the PSU, but the i7 model would most probably definitely do.
3 - The stylus holder is supposed to be fitted with its barrel facing backwards, supposedly clearing the path to the USB C and power supplu sockets, but let's face it, it still adds some stress to the plugs. And honestly I fear the plastic tab you force into the USB A connector will squeeze flat or may even end up damaging the contacts inside, so I'm definitely not using it.
Instead I use the strong magnets at the bottom of the keyboard back to hold the pen. They even hold it in place while typing, though catching it is now less intuitive, of course. On the other hand, sliding the stylus out of the damn plastic holder isn't easy either anyway.
They really should have just added some other magnets to the right hand side so we could just stick the pen there. Or they should have added a slot to the side of the keyboard to fit the holder...
