I am much more concerned by the story elsewhere i in your columns that this years purchasers of Surface hardware will not be able to upgrade to Windows 10x. I was assured I would before I purchased my Pro 7. If this is true all these equally foolish purchasers of Surface equipment this year will share my astonishment at this lack integrity by MS. I have been disappointed in this way many times by MS but this could be the last straw

Really interesting form factor, bad chip, bad camera and bad battery. Wierd entre into Android. None of the foldables have yet flown but here's betting it will have a huge novelty mark-up. Still, I'm a sucker for this stuff. I've held off on the Huawei Mate X, and the Galaxy Fold 1. I'm sure going to watch for this and the Fold 2 and hope for a stylus.

Lack of tap to pay and wireless charging makes it a no-go for me. :(
