Yes, and the "snap view" feature practically demands it. They made an interesting compromise with their new Surface tablet to accommodate it. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/10/microsofts-first-stab... Sinofsky said that this [10.1" screen] made Windows' snapped view, where two Metro applications run side-by-side, too small. 11.1-inch screens solved that problem but used more power... The 10.6-inch screen is supposed to make snap view big enough while also permitting "all-day" battery life. You'll only need a 13" diagonal 4:3 screen to be as wide as a 10.6" 16:9 screen, but then you'll probably be using it from further away... So it might look awkward but you should be able to see all the content just fine.
