I got a notification that my type cover has shipped, waiting in my Surface shipping confirmation now. I am a moron and ordered them separately on accident.

I need the business version with Win Pro so I didn't preorder. I will go to my nearest Microsoft store tomorrow and find out whether it's less expensive to get the business model or upgrade to Win Pro on the regular model, see what my education discount might apply to, and bring home my choice.

Surface Dock, ordered from Amazon, came in today. I need the extra ports at times. I can keep the dock on my desk for charging and keep the charger in the sleeve.

Looking forward to reading everyone's first impressions!

I love it so far, but I haven't really done much with it other than install apps and watch a few YouTube videos.

When I was going through the initial Windows 10 setup I thought there was something wrong with the screen because the brightness was fluctuating a lot, but it was because it was set to automatically adjust to the room brightness.

My biggest concern is the battery life. I have a Surface Pro 3 that seems to only get 3 or 4 hours per charge (if I'm lucky), so as long as the Surface Go does better (hopefully 6 or 7 at least) I'll be happy. The battery estimate shown in the taskbar is pretty much as inaccurate and useless as it is on my Pro 3 though.

I like the keyboard a lot. I just got the less expensive black version. I will get a pen eventually too.

The screen size might take some getting used to, but the bezels don't seem quite as thick in person as they do in videos.

I plan to try running Photoshop on it soon. Haven't taken it out of S Mode yet.
