My problem is that with the keyboard and the pen you end up with a laptop that is far from the advertisement price. You go smoothly from 399$ to 599$. The keyboard is a minimum...
You also have to add in the $50 to get the full version of Windows.
No, that upgrade is now free.
I keep hoping one of these announcements from Microsoft will be a Surface Phone. This one had my hopes up from the title of the article, but it’s just a tablet—not really that tiny.
It's not particularly "tiny". Yes, it's slightly smaller than typical laptops are right now, but I had an Asus EEE back in the day when "netbooks" were a thing (over a decade ago) and that was much smaller. It's always a tradeoff between portability and size of keyboard/screen. For a while machines get smaller and then eventually people get frustrated and larger machines return.
Yeah I mean the original Surface was 10" too. This seems like a nice product, but there isn't anything particularly revolutionary about it. Except it has a USB-C port - finally.
The $549 model with 8gb RAM and 128GB SSD storage interests me. I currently own a 10.5" iPad Pro but would have considered the Surface Go had it existed when I bought the iPad.
It's probably about 2x the weight though... At least judging from the Surface line I've seen so far. I'm not really a fan.
surface pro 4 with i5/128gb/8gb is on a rare $799 deal from microsoft's website now, might want to give that a look, I just picked one up myself
I've always wanted to be a student AND a social justice warrior.
Just like I'm sure my friend's father wants to be both a veteran and a WASP
