Hey Daniel,
thinking about your point of surface Pocket.
Maybe a portable gaming device like the Nintendo Switch would be the best approach. A Surface X.
Windows on mobile needs Apps and Dev support. Even Windows on ARM will not be a solution for the Snapchats, Ubers, Maps, and other apps that are geared towards mobile.
However, MS historically has a good relationship with gaming devs.
A portable gaming device would sell it itself (Nintendo), but a Surface X would also run Windows and UWP apps. Such a device would create a Userbase big enough to warrant developing for it. Additionally with services like Netflix and the entire UWP catalog already available from day one it would have a massive advantage to the Switch.
