I would rather have a device with a real CPU and slow storage than an Atom based device with faster storage.

I would buy one without hesitating (even the entry-level version) if I had a need for such a device. I would definitely buy one if they made a 10" Surface Laptop.

If the Surface Go is anything like my Surface 3, it's okay if you're running only an app or two at a time. I definitely wouldn't try heavy multitasking with it. (Though I haven't read much about the Go, so it's possible that it's still a significant improvement.)
