I was hoping for more.

I just want a Surface Go with an AMOLED or Mini-LED screen that can go brighter than 500 nits, and a modern x86 processor (Linux isn't happening any time soon on Qualcomm chips, as good as they are).

Or what about one of these 11 inch Android tablets but with an unlocked boot loader?


I have a robo and Kala (12 inch Qualcomm WIndows tablet) and 12 inches is too large for a tablet. Also windows is not an appropriate OS for a tablet.

I was going to feel bad about not realizing a new version of surface was released and just bought a surface pro 11 last night. The 12-core with an Oled screen. But this article made me feel better because the new version was a lesser cpu that was just thinner for the same price.

I want an 8" or smaller surface go with the option for a mobile connection.

If Microsoft is listening, I bet they aren't, what I'm really looking for is an high res <9" tablet, kinda like the Legion Go, except I don't need the detachable controllers. What I want is that 2560x1600, 8.8" screen and form factor that fits in the hand, you know, like how most books you'd bother to carry would be, not some A1 sized canvas for artists.

The OG SP was a 10.6" 1080p, and that was fantastic for portability. It had a lot of shortcomings, but I'm sick and tired of obesity taking over screens on a supposedly "portable device" and >12" becoming the norm.

Sounds like you want a Legion Go!

Ya, the OnexPlayer x1 or x1 mini is probably the closest thing to what we want, but despite being the right size diagonally, its too thick and too heavy (not to mention expensive). And for me, I'm too spoiled with AMOLED tablets and my macbook mini-LED screens. I also game & watch movies on an HDR TV; makes it hard to go back to devices with just 500 nits or less brightness.

Also lets be honest, Windows 11 sucks for tablets.

16GB/256GB really Microsoft, take about ripping off your customers, minimum is 32GB/1TB and agree an 8/9in design similar to a book size would be a great portable size.

If in the future somebody marries a book size ARM powered device to a colour E-ink, we finally could have the portable device we want, without paying for it with a spare kidney.

Sounds like you want a Surface Duo that they dropped in 2021 despite other foldable solutions being worse.
