Is the surface pro 10 a modern working tablet?

According to the feature matrix it works good. Does anyone own one? Is there another one that I missed?

I want a new laptop/tablet. I don't play games. I just write prose most of the time or write code. Arm, touchscreen and handy device size seems to be the only awesome innovation compared to my old laptop in my view.

From the Linux-first vendors, I am only aware of Star Labs' StarLite. Their products are pretty good, though a bit price~y.

It is very expensive for what it is but it looks to be a solid computer. But it is x86. Isn't that very bad for a tablet?

It's kinda bad but not very bad - ARM processors tend to be more efficient but there are some good x86 chips for portable devices as well

Just keep in mind eficiency isn't 1:1 for a $800 x86 laptop and a $800 ARM tablet
