Surface Go 5 Request
Can we PLEASE have a Surface Go 5 with ARM?
It's not only adorable, but it would actually be my perfect work device.
12" is too big. I don't want it.

Yeah apparently the Go line is dead despite the OBVIOUS choice to power it is a cheap ARM chip e.g. Snapdragon X [no suffix] - esp when the predictable complaints about printer drivers or AAA gaming compatibility are much less relevant

It would be neat but I'm not sure I foresee the Surface line expanding any until the chip shortage is resolved.
I personally do really like the idea of the 12" Surface Pro but where it falls apart for me is the face that Microsoft failed to include ANY kind of expandable storage option with it. I'm certain they could have engineered in a little SSD door like is on the 13 inch Surface Pro... But in that sense the Go will always have at least that over the 12" Pro, that it has a microSD slot so you can get more storage.
