This is what I hope will happen if I put an Alexa speaker, a Cortana device, and a Google Home in the same room. From Alexa: Hey Cortana, I'd like to introduce you to a new friend. Hey Cortana, Please meet my neighbor Google. Hey Cortana, I'm sorry she doesn't have a real name, but you can...

Ah the good old days of stand alone apps that you can install from a disk.

They are not the same as the real versions. The mobile versions don't support VBA for electronic forms entry.

I personally won't be buying the Go because I already bought an Acer switch 3 last year that is a very similar product.

10" tablets in general are too big and too small at the same time. They are tiring to hold without a stand or a prop. They are too small to use as a laptop at arms length from my eyes. If you ask me, the perfect size for a tablet you aren't going to hold 6" from you face is the 11.5 - 13 in...

True, I don't use my Acer Switch 3 as a tablet much, just like I don't use my Huawei Mediapad M3 with a keyboard. I would say if you want a tablet get an Android device. I consider the Surface form factor as just a really light portable computer with a touch screen.

The term 'tablet' and Microsoft or Windows just don't fit together unless you're young and don't remember Microsoft's history. Even Android (Google) has a perception problem against Apple's Ipad being thought of when a 'tablet' is mentioned, so what hope does Microsoft have in that respect?

That's why the keyboard is so important. Also, it's 32GB that is a problem for Win10, 64GB is ok as long as you can use cloud apps and storage and add memory with an SD card.

The Switch 3 screen isn't as good as the Go, but everything else is as good or better. It has a USB-C and a USB-A although the USB-C doesn't support Aux mode for DP or PD.

The Acer Switch 3 is directly comparable to the Surface Go. It is on sale now for $399 with the keyboard and pen included. It's been out for a year and I got mine about a year ago. I won't buy the Surface Go because I already have something very similar. I would also like GPS, but I have...

I don't even get mobile data plans for my phone. I pay for internet at home, that's enough.

That's one way to solve the problem - throw money at it. :) Keyboards on laptops that fold back are cool, but I guess they thought that 'inking on a budget' wasn't for them after-all. This forum failed to make a meaningful suggestion for the OP in that respect.

The stylus looks different than the one for the Switch Alpha 12 from last year. Where did you find your info? The storage is still emmc and not SSD, so not much different than an added SD card for speed. You only run into real trouble for updates and 64bit Windows when you try to use 32GB...

I'm looking for the same thing. I found the ACER Switch 3 for about $450. It comes with a keyboard cover and a pen. https://www.pcmag.com/review/355219/acer-switch-3
