Surface Go is Microsoft’s big bet on a tiny-computer future
- Multicomp 8y agoI've always wanted to be a student AND a social justice warrior. Just like I'm sure my friend's father wants to be both a veteran and a WASP /s of course

Yes, it's slightly smaller than typical laptops are right now, but I had an Asus EEE back in the day when "netbooks" were a thing (over a decade ago) and that was much smaller. It's always a tradeoff between portability and size of keyboard/screen. For a while machines get smaller and then eventually people get frustrated and larger machines return.
