An old dream has finally come true - a full-fledged Windows in book format with passive cooling.
Information on the device is still very small, I will try to immediately fill the topic with usefulness that I find.
In particular, it was not possible to dig for anything that could extend the global battery life.

PS: I make out the topic for the first time, if there are shoals, I will correct it.

NT2008,
The device on hand? I consider the version to be more powerful for buying in laptop replacements.

[NT2008]

Yes, on hand.
While I did not actively use it, I want to pre-paste the film.
My tablet is the first, there were no ipads and androids for religious reasons)), so there is nothing to compare with.
Visually and tactilely I liked very much - "in bed with Windows" - in a figurative and direct sense. : D
On the screen, LG G6 loses in definition, but this is understandable - the pixel density is lower.
I really liked Klava - a little heap of arrows are standing, but it doesn't matter. I was pleased that the [Fn] key is stuck, i.e. All the usual operations in Far can be comfortably performed.
I did not take the mouse, I took the stylus, now in the process of buying software for it - Nebo. In OneNote, of course, the quality of smoothing the handwriting is none compared to Inkredible in android.

An unexpected surprise was the activationWindows 10 Pro- somehow the version from the Microsoft account was pulled up, now the virtual machine can be launched, only the battery will surely eat up.
According to the first observations in a quiet manner, the battery eats humanely, but at the same time, with an average level of performance set, it is a little thoughtful when opening the prog.
With a minimum level of consumption, the windows open for a long time.

How to replace a laptop can be considered if you have a good view and lack of resource-intensive tasks.
Ie, if you turn it on all the time to power on the network for maximum performance, then I think the battery will last for a year and a half, because it will be 100% all the time, and 40% for the casting elements, for example, Sonya Vaio I have been living with my native battery since 2011 - the option of saving the battery is set - 50% of the charge maximum.
In this regard, I do not consider this device as a replacement for the laptop, if necessary, often run something heavy, but "from the couch", I will do it over the RDP on a productive laptop.

From the point of view of a mobile office, in my opinion, an ideal option Backpack has become almost weightless.
For myself, I consider this device as "here it has happened!", I will install everything I used to, and everything will be in my backpack with minimal weight and without a propeller)))

[NT2008]

Maintainability 1 from 10:

PS: but they write that the battery does not require removal of the motherboard, only glued very securely)
To our great surprise, the surface go has an instant disconnectable battery! With no need to fully remove the motherboard, repairability is looking up.

NT2008,
Where did you buy?

[NT2008]

Where did you buy?

In the store point surface-pro point ru.
Price horse, but decided not to wait for the fall, because the DR on the nose and generally I was waiting for such a Windows.)))

[NT2008]

Intermediate report on the stylus.
In general, there is not yet any decent prog for Windows for beautiful handwriting.
I bought Nebo - when writing, the handwriting does not smooth out right away - the stylus shakes are noticeable, then it corrects, but not so much.
It turns out better, of course, than in OneNote, but in any case Inkredible loses much.
From the positive aspects compared to Inkredible, this recognition - really recognizes my handwriting very qualitatively, I myself can not always)))
But, at the same time, obviously, it is eating the battery and turning off the recognizer completely, I can’t get it yet.
Plus, with the persistence of all cloud prog, imposes registration on its service.
From cool for students - it recognizes well and translates formulas into text and allows drawing diagrams.
Here it is described:https://tjournal.ru/33...ogo-rukopisnogo-teksta

So while it turns out that the need to buy a stylus was not obvious to me.
See how it will work in some 2d-3d package.

Do you have version 64 or 128?

128, essno))), I wanted an interesting and practical toy, so that you can install as many different things as you can, up to the virtual machine, and here without 8 RAMs - well, no way :)

What do you think, is it normal to install Linux Ubunu on the Surface Go?

[wapt]

Without a keyboard is not included in Yandex Mail, Telegram Desktop.

[Otp @ d]

I choose where to buy from the Germans at 10 cheaper in an Internet shop, but the risks of delivery and if a breakdown is also a return, and the risks with our mail are generally straining. Although if it adds shipping, then it will not be very expensive for us ((We have a surface-pro point, which is cheap in the store, but who doesn’t understand who the office sells for (one day or not). Where can I get it?: Rolleyes:

ccristian
No concepts. I will not bet, because I do not need it. On Tuesday, the keyboard will come. I will write that yes how.

[NT2008]

Oh, the new owners are pulled, together we will learn :)

On screen protection: cut and pasted a simple glossy film today, the impressions are immediately disgusting - the stylus moves like an eraser and it looks like the sensitivity has gone down.
The stained look of the screen, just horror.
In addition, I read in the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 theme about tin with films and glasses ... I peeled it off from sin, I also do not plan glass, they write that the sensitivity of the stylus drops from glasses.
The device will live in a cover-book if I wear it without Claudia.

[wapt]

Otp @ d,
I bought on Avito. In aliexpress and CU prices are the same.
NT2008
Films and glasses appeared on Ali.
Without a keyboard is not very convenient.
Question: Any stylus from the surface? Even from RT? From Galaxy Note 8 did not fit -)

Question: Any stylus from the surface? Even from RT? From Galaxy Note 8 did not fit -)

Read on the Wiki about the version of Surface Pen, from the first generation do not fit, there was another sensor.

Plus, there is still such a company:http://www.adonit.net/jot/- two versions of the Ink stylus for Windows tablets:http://www.adonit.net/support/ink/
I looked at the comparison of the Ink stylus with the Surface Pen on YouTube - the Ink has more jitter value (the waviness of a slowly drawn line).

https://youtu.be/g4wQ8M_5ZRU

However, for the android adonit Dash 3, I really like it, but there is a different type of sensor.
