The modern supply chain is data hungry. To feed it with ever more detailed information, the scanning and mobile computing hardware for capturing data has had to enhance its abilities: capability, portability, versatility and—most important to many new adopters—affordability. To connect more devices in more places in real time, software and analytics applications are tasked with processing complex data streams into actionable information.
If you are going to make the jump and purchase a keyboard, Microsoft offers a few options. A stock $99 Type Cover for Surface Go comes in black alone, while the spiffier $129 Signature Type Cover comes in platinum, burgundy, and cobalt shades. These are finished with a soft "Alcantara" fabric material, which has echoes of rich Corinthian leather but nonetheless feels nice to rest your wrists on. The black version, in contrast, is all-polyurethane.
The model Asus loaned me has a list price of $699, although it’s often available for less than that. It’s the most affordable Windows on ARM device to ship to date, but it’s also one of the biggest: the notebook measures about 0.6 inches thick and weighs about 3.1 pounds.

We’ve seen the MediaTek MT6763T in other phones, like the Doogee S80, but it appears to run marginally better in this environment for whatever reason.
Overall performance is excellent, matching that of a high-end ultraportable machine, but don’t expect to do hardcore gaming on it – I didn’t try it with an external graphics card.

Holiday parties were right around the corner, and I needed a cover story. I didn’t feel like admitting to casual acquaintances, or even to some good friends, that I drive a van for Amazon. I decided to tell them, if asked, that I consult for Amazon, which is loosely true: I spend my days consulting a Rabbit, the handheld Android device loaded with the app that tells me where my next stop is, how many packages are coming off the van, and how hopelessly behind I’ve fallen.
The actual phone support is mostly focused on territories outside the US, although it should work there on GSM and possibly WCDMA in some locations. The LTE channels it supports aren’t the ones normally used in North America, unfortunately.
And as I mentioned above, I’ve had the Edge web browser unexpectedly freeze or crash more often than I’m comfortable with… especially on a machine with 6GB of RAM. And I spent a lot of time looking at “[URL] is not responding” messages.
“They’re tying in data from raw material to the end user, while monitoring and controlling the impact of decisions along the way. Having visibility in real time is very valuable,” Stubbs says. “That’s why data is on the brink of becoming the new currency.”
The popular image of gamers is still mostly that of boys and men. Video games were marketed as boy’s toys back in the day. But girls and women have always been gamers too and the Game Boy was one of the first systems to realize that.
