Only let down is the screen resolution is not very high.

I updated from a Surface 3 and it's a big difference. The eMMC drive and atom processor in the Surface 3 is much slower. But the beauty of Windows is that it'll let you run anything even if your experience may be terrible. I've done video editing on the Surface 3 before in a pinch and tried to run games that I knew would not run well but did it just for the heck of it.

The Go is a good device, great for light computing and can run anything in a pinch. For more heavy applications and games, I just use my desktop PC.
I have a Surface Book 2 I use for business so this is essentially for surfing at home, using on a plane, as an Ereader ... the Android experience on a tablet is just not great. I've had several Surfaces along the way and have loved almost all of them. They've just never had one in the smaller form factor before.
