People that want gaming choose Windows, people that want productivity choose Mac. I don't see where this new product fits.
You can't game with the paltry "arm companion" GPU and you can't be productive with tons of ads (product placement, "notifications" and tips, as well as the literal "hot singles near you" variety included).
Maybe this is some kind of corporate devices for the old-school enterprises that rock Teams and Office and all that jazz.
It's a shame because if the hardware is as good as they make it sound, it might've been a great productivity device, but they need serious slimming down work in Windows, or an unlocked bootloader for Linux.

That said, Microsoft’s comparisons should tell you who this is for: people who might otherwise buy a MacBook Air. That’s the segment that’s largely not doing creative work or gaming, but needs something for business use, or productivity on the go.
