There was never an m3 version with 64GB EMMC storage. I would guess this is a typo.

I enjoy the original Surface Go quite a lot. Metal build quality is fantastic. Display is very nice. Keyboard is a dream and quite remarkable. This CPU would be nice to have.

The eMMC memory is fine, and still faster than a spinning hard drive, it's just a bit slower than SSD. Note with 64 GB you won't be using the hard drive anyway. You'll be using an SD card or cloud storage. Treat this like a thin client.

*However* keep in mind the total cost of ownership:

You'll want to additionally buy a Type Cover (MSRP $80?) or an aftermarket keyboard ($?).

You may or may not want the Surface Pen (MSRP $70-100?).

It may add up to the price of a decent laptop. The perks of owning a Go are build quality, light weight, fast boot times, and it's a pleasure to type and write on. But it's not handicapped like a tablet is.

However if you don't write on it much (I don't as much as I thought I would) a higher spec 11" laptop might be a better option.

eMMC is not too bad. I use SG mostly to surf web and write on MS word

CPU is an upgrade
