and discharge battery in 25 minutes.
Would you really like to program on such small screen, weak battery, low performance, flat unergonomic keyboard and mouse? It's for kids playing games in a car or reading documents.

On my laptop with i5 doing `yarn start & ./gradlew bootRun` takes over a minute, on a PC with Ryzen it's 8seconds, on a tablet, I don't want to know how long it would take on a tablet with slower disk and RAM.
- threeseed 8y agoThe CPU specs for the Surface Go are on par with a slower current-gen i5: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Pentium+4415U+%40+2.30GHz&id=2977 https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Pentium+4415U... And the idea you can't do front end (or really any) development on a slower machine is completely ridiculous. People are doing this around the world every day especially with incremental compilation.
- senectus1 8y agoI suspect that the single threaded processing will be slower than i3 as its missing the Turbo Boost spec https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Turbo_Boost https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Turbo_Boost
- tbyehl 8y agoThe 4415Y in the Go is much slower than the 4415U. 1.6GHz vs 2.3GHz. I'd expect a CPUMark score +/- 2,200.
