My only worry is that the experience in tablet mode is gonna be subpar.
That was my experience with the Surface Go. The battery life was much worse than my ipad mini 2.
There are far less dedicated apps for Windows 10, so much of my tablet workflow involved using the web browser to access services.
For batter life alone, I returned the surface go, and bought and ipad pro.
That's, 27Wh [1] vs 26.12Wh [2] of the original.
Go figure.

The biggest issue with touch on the Surface Go 2 is that Microsoft is dropping support for classic Edge in the near future, and no other Windows browser feels quite as snappy on low end devices or as good on a touch screen yet.
I have a Surface Go and it's a great little machine for what it is but iPad Pro should be compared to the Surface X.
From my experience it’s not just subpar. It’s basically very sad.
What didn’t you like about it? I have one and feel it’s a huge improvement and very worth the price I paid.
May I ask why?
I have noticed that a lot of the reviews & comments about the new Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro are separated by size. People who have the 12.9 seem to be much happier (on the whole) than people who have the 11. I have the 12.9 and I love it. The keyboard is fully as large as a laptop keyboard and the trackpad is smaller than a MacBook's, but still very usable. The 11 users complain that many of the keys are too small and the track pad is just too teeny to use reasonably.
Obviously, physical input devices are very personal and have much to do with your hand size, your height, etc.
I will say that one downside is that the case is heavy. It makes the 12.9 fully as beefy as the 13 inch MacBook Pro. The upside is that the ease of pulling the iPad away from the case encourages using the iPad naked (when a keyboard isn't needed), which is so nice for lap browsing, comic reading, etc.
