That means both laptops are extremely far from being the most powerful available. Surface Book 3, which does have a powerful GPU, is saddled with a weak processor due to the removable tablet design. Microsoft's problem is this: Surface Laptop, especially the 15-inch model, is just a swanky Ultrabook (meaning no discrete GPU). There is no such thing as Surface Laptop Pro, but if we had to pick one device that could be next, this would be it. If you don't need the touch facilities then a laptop is better.Source: Daniel Rubino / Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Daniel Rubino / Windows Central) The Go is the one to get when the ARM CPU is powerful enough and the Battery long enough for a 2-in-1. That's my impression of the Surface devices. The typecover is a little cramped tbh however a portable external cheap keyboard would be an option to take or not take or even keep 2 of these in locations to go to. The screen at 10.5 is actually very usable. SO another generation or 2 might correct that. The main problem right now is no ARM and terrible battery. However, the most useful device 2-in-1 IMHO is the Go Form Factor which is ultra-extreme portable and easy to hold/use as a tablet for media and commuting. So it will give me another solid year of use. Comparing to buying a MBA M1 + iPad I've saved a lot of money and HATE the locked iPadOS system so could not bear to use that. I've finished using it for teaching and now it will be useful for digital art and the bigger screen will be great. In addition it's not that great as a portable device with the typecover then a sleeve to protect it ends up being just over 1Kg which is light but not extreme portable ie only 250g lower than a lightweight laptop. The biggest problem apart from slow start up is the low battery as it needed a lot of baby-sitting and charging. It works really well with a good connection via cloud office-365 however and edge.

However, those specs were too low and it was overall a little sluggish. I needed digital pen and it served that function. I got a half-price SPX new (SQ1 8GB model however) last year for teaching.
