Just picked up a Surface Pro 6, i5/8/128 with keyboard for $699 @ Microcenter (I'm guessing this is a Black Friday week sale).
Overall, its speedy and would make an EXCELLENT computer for someone in college or needs the power for work. The keyboard works well, screen looks amazing and, battery life appears to be good. I know people love USB-C, but I love that it has a full size USB-A port instead. I still have mostly full size USB devices (cameras, USB drives, Ethernet adapters) and I like having a sturdy port and not having to use an adapter.
As for my personal needs, I have a desktop and needed something I can throw in my bag to access the web and a few programs - looking more of a tablet with a keyboard, i guess. The Surface Pro is a bit big (not easy to type in lap) so not 100% sure its the right fit for me, (but it is really nice).
Overall, I am thinking of returning it and going back to a Surface Go, if it ever goes on decent sale. But I am not sure that I can give up that USB-A port or power of the Surface Pro 6.
