Ive had several window tablets and they are pretty crap. I have two surface books, 1 and 2. Never use them in tablet form.

I did briefly use the surface book 1 with onenote for taking notes but windows os doesnt lend itself to tablet form.

Im not your target market but if i was going to buy one a decent microfibre cloth would be a nice bonus.

This, I have a Surface with the keyboard cover and have never used it as a tablet. It's a great little machine for on the go though and after upgrading the Windows S, adding an extra 256Gb SD card I can pretty much replicate my desktop when travelling, plus it's LTE too so not too much of a worry with WLAN when not available. Now to add a cloth to it...

[woohoo]

Yeah Surface stuff is great and I really wanted to make it work in tablet format. Just for browsing the web and taking notes etc.

Then I bought an ipad air and it's just miles better as a tablet, it just works.

Love the Surface hardware and as a laptop its great but Windows fails in tablet mode.

I don't think "high end" and "8G" belong in the same sentence.

Even if you target consumer is a casual internet user, then 8G combined with Windows will only bring disappointment after a while.

Even 16G is not so impressive these days.

Maybe you could tell the manufacturer to cut ram to just 5G... 5G is the **** now.


Is it ARM or Intel?

Its Intel.
Funnily enough the manufacturer informed me of new models with 16 GB and other better specs an hour or so ago. I have just ordered some test/demo kit.

I am typing this on an 8GB/256 GB HD model with the 10.8 inch screen that I have been using since a few days before lockdown. It has full Windows 10, Office 2019 inc project and visio, Adobe CS Master and some other stuff on it and it flies along even with multiple apps and very large memory intensive files loaded (InDesign page layouts and stupidly large excel workbooks with very extensive VBA code embedded), The benchmarking test results were very impressive.
