I really like the surface, but there is no way I will be a first generation buyer, it is too underpowered. I expect to get at least a couple more years out of my iPhone XS.
However, by Gen 2 or 3, maybe this machine can replace my phone and laptop for typical business tasks; and I can put some cash into a new compact mirrorless full frame camera to make up for the loss of a decent camera in my pocket.
This is what I'm expecting as well.
