This is a highly-requested product/service?
While it is true that I don’t have the number that Microsoft probably has, it seems unreal.
If you look at Microsoft’s hardware inventory, what product, or products scream out for a subscription service?
Did you utter “Surface Go”? And/or scream “The Entire Surface line, dodo!”?
Aaah! So, you know.
I have been totally verklempt trying to understand why an LTE-equipped Surface Go was not offered on Day One, and at that same price.
(The glacial pace of hardware developments and refreshes from Microsoft expose it as a software company. Nothing is wrong with that, for Microsoft mints more bars of gold-pressed Latinum than many sovereign countries. However, it does not show an undeniable commitment to hardware.)
In fact, is there any reason why the entire Microsoft Surface line does not have LTE-equipped models at launch?
And subsequently bundled with a rental+cellular subscription?
Even if you remove LTE from the devices for cost reasons, why aren’t Surface/Surface Go subscriptions available?
If low enough, it would be a fantastic K12 offering.
But, nooooo.
Xbox.
Unless this is a test case for Microsoft coming up with a Surface Go subscription service, or a completely BS rumor, I wouldn’t
