I’m still on the Go 1 waiting for a 512gb version ;-). It’s probably not what you want as a daily driver. For me it’s something I use in meetings and on airplanes when I travel. For that it’s perfect.
That’s mostly what I used my pro 7 for, but even that it struggled with. With nothing else running doing RDP I get 2-3 hours of battery life which is just awful. And if I try to do widi or just about anything at all on the screen I get closer to an hour of battery life until the throttling sets in and it’s unusable. Thank god the pro 8 added a fan for all models.
Battery life is much better on the go I think. Even on my old model, if I turn off wifi and turn down the brightness I can take notes all day. On full brightness with no Wi-Fi I can watch videos for like 4-6 hours on the plane. But when I have Wi-Fi or LTE enabled, it’s probably only 3 hours. I’m sure a new one would improve that by 50% or so. But you don’t want to have more than 2-3 apps open at a time, and you wanna use Firefox instead of Chrome.
I absolutely love my surface go and making a repairable one will be fantastic. I just wish they’d finally make a 512gb version!
Hows battery life on the go 4? I have a surface pro 7 which is neither fast, nor gets good battery life so it’s pretty useless to me.
A pro 9 with the P cores turned off or go 4 would actually be a pretty neat device for me.
