You need a flat, solid surface to use the keyboard, full stop. I enjoy using it, but the way it's designed, it's completely unusable on a lap. The weight isn't special either, sure, the tablet alone is light, but add the keyboard and it's not that light anymore.

The device is a bit too thick for my taste, it's matching a Macbook Pro in thickness. The screen bezels are too thick for my taste, but I guess that's the tablet part coming into play. I expected a lightweight laptop that can work as a tablet, but Surface Go is primarily a tablet that can do some desktop work.
Any tap will open the keyboard, cycling the 2x 1s freeze for opening and closing the keyboard. There is no way in OneNote on the surface to "exit" an action, selection or keyboard. They center around the virtual keyboard and non-ink object selection and manipulation, of which there are zero official Microsoft tutorials or manuals. I have a list of 10-15 OneNote peculiarities that seem insane to have made it into production, and that OneNote is almost unusably laggy on Microsoft's latest device is wild to me. Any other recommendations for a thinking workspace with digital pen? I only keep using it hoping I'll stop hitting it's fail cases by learning it all and that has yet to happen. I've done about 20 hours of work in OneNote now and couldn't recommend it to anyone for any workflow, not formal design work, not annotating PDFs, not drawing, not storyboarding or wireframing or writing by hand. The entire computer freezes for 1s when opening the keyboard which happens for me two or three times every five minutes of active work in OneNote. The pen regularly is not recognized, the entire computer freezes for 2 seconds when rotating including stuttering video and audio. I bought it for OneNote and as a second computer to my main laptop. If we're making this a little bit of a surface line conversation: I'm absolutely amazed at how bad the latest Microsoft Surface Pro 7 is. The dock is really nice too, although I don't use it as much as I used to, since I'm mainly using it on my lap nowadays. I'm surprised at how long the battery lasts, and like the magnetic connection to power or docking station. Being able to read and annotate papers with a pen (including in portrait mode) is very nice, as is presenting from a computer I can draw on directly. Of course, I could get that with an iPad Pro, but then I don't have a real computer - so I'd need 2 devices (which I used to do, and hated it). But for videos, browsing, etc I've never had any issues.Īlong with the very pleasant WSL Linux experience, I also wouldn't want to go back to a computer without a touchscreen and excellent stylus support. Although mainly I'm coding in a terminal through ssh, so I don't push it much. I'm entirely satisfied with the performance. I guess I've never tried putting weight on it - maybe that's a different keyboarding approach I think the ergonomic recommendation is to not rest your hands on the keyboard, IIRC. I use one of them on my lap 95% of the time (I generally work from a recliner). Feels like we're talking about 2 totally different machines - I'm using one right now, and always use it or a Surface Pro 7, and I couldn't be happier.
