This or the 12 inch model with 512gb for $100 less?
Neither imo.
$100 cheaper, 42% slower on the Geekbench benchmark according to pcworld.
But for a Snapdragon cpu (think smartphone-based cpu design) tablet that's NOT 100% Windows apps compatible, unlike Intel/Amd laptops, I wouldn't bother wasting the money until they drop below $400 open box....unless you are perfectly fine running Microsoft apps mostly and accepting that any 3rd party app, vpn, driver, and game issues may never be fixed on SnapX systems.
One case where the Surface Pro 10 makes more sense for business people who don't want incompatibilities, or any other Intel/Amd based PC tablet from other brands.

Other than gaming, this will be fine. Don't buy the cheaper one since it has an 8-core CPU and UFS storage. Almost everything runs just fine with Windows on ARM.
