Anyone else using one of these?
Just picked one up and have been super impressed so far. Was worried it would be underpowered and was considering either the iPad Pro or Tab S6, but ultimately decided I wanted the full desktop experience. It was pretty much the only 10 inch option I could find (I have a 13 inch laptop for work), but find it a little cramped on the train).
I ran a Surface Pro 4 for a few years as a work laptop, but disliked the heat and poor battery (but loved the build and design quality). This thing is half the weight and fanless. Battery is only about 4 hours proper use (full brightness), but can charge off USB C. Great keyboard and pen support.
In terms of performance, I am only using office, browsing the web and youtube, but it's been super solid. No slow downs or stutters. I wouldn't use as a daily driver, but as a companion to a larger laptop, I highly recommend.
I would suggest sticking to the 8gb model - I picked mine up lightly used with the type cover for £350 which I think is great value. Microsoft often run promotions where you get the type cover free so keep an eye on their store!

I've been very tempted for work use - at the moment I have a Galaxy Tab S3 which works very well for site surveys with photos and notes - if you can get MyScript Nebo on the Go, and you have the pen, it's fantastic.
It'd be nice to also be able to run our quote spreadsheet, which has a lot of VBA code. I think the Surface Go would be up to doing that.

Yeh it powers through Excel no problem It'd be nice to also be able to run our quote spreadsheet, which has a lot of VBA code. I think the Surface Go would be up to doing that.
