This looks really, really cool.

I love my iPad Pros, but this looks to be way more capable for the same or less dough.

Premium built device with the best type cover in the business and priced competitively with the entry iPad but without the severe limitations of iOS.

Here's a good video showing a closer look at the details.

Planning on picking up the 128GB SSD/8GB RAM option with the black type cover. IMO 4GB is just not enough when you are talking running full desktop-class apps. Chrome, which I prefer over Edge, is a RAM hog. I'm not an artist and I have terrible handwriting so the pen is of no use to me, I never bought one for my iPP. The new mouse might come in handy though. I'll be taking it out of S mode as soon as I get it. I might even pay the $50 to put 10 Pro on it. I like the cross between extreme mobility and desktop class apps. I'll put a copy of Office 365 on it and some other apps I use. Great for on the go. I don't need LTE, I'll just use the hotspot on my iPhone. I think it will certainly take away from iPad Pro sales.

I don't really have any upfront concerns about it other than maybe battery life, but that will have to wait and see.

Dang. That's appealing.

I wish iPad would have that versatility of desktop-grade apps and mouse support so I could use Adobe Illustrator on the go among other things.

This type of product keeps reminding us how stubborn Apple is and how visionless they are for keeping iPad a boutique limited device for almost a decade now.

Fantastic versatility. I'd love this for work. Well played, Microsoft.

I'm curious, how many of those who are praising the Surface Go ever owned a Surface in the past? And do you still own it? If not, why did you get rid of it and how is the Go different than what you had?
