Microsoft boasts that its new Surface Go gives you "laptop performance, tablet portability, and a stunning touchscreen with the power of Windows 10." Sounds like a winning combination!


Take it anywhere

This is the smallest and lightest Surface ever made, weighing in at around 500 grams. Its diminutive size means it can fit into any bag and be taken anywhere, yet it is packed with the processing power to do a job that punches well above its weight!


Turn a tablet into a laptop

For a quality laptop experience, simply pair Surface Go's ultra-compact Signature Type Cover, which performs like a full-size keyboard, with the lightweight and precise Surface Mobile Mouse. The result is a lightweight laptop with heavyweight performance capabilities.


A bright and sharp display

You're able to touch, view, and write on the PixelSense display, boasting a 3:2 aspect ratio and a resolution of 1800 x 1200. The result is a crisp and colourful display which is much more vivid and easy to view than many devices of a similar size.


HD quality camera

The all-important camera feature is very impressive, allowing you to take great photos and make super-clear video calls with a front-facing and rear auto-focus HD camera.


Power a plenty

The new Surface Go features a powerful Intel processor which easily handles the day to day demands of running software and apps, while the battery will give you up to 9 hours per charge.

Great for every day use

I had a Surface 3, the spiritual predecessor of this tablet. The Surface Go is much faster in the 8GB/128GB SSD format. For every day light computing use, the tablet is great and does everything very quickly. Browsing the web, watching videos and running desktop Microsoft Office is all flawless.

Microsoft Surface Go

The small-scale Surface Go from Microsoft recasts the larger Surface Pro two-in-one as a casual computer you can toss in a bag and take anywhere. But, the change in size, price and processing power presents a lot of questions for would-be buyers.
Pros:
  • The Surface Go delivers Microsoft's great Surface design and accessories at a lower price and in a smaller size
Cons:
  • The Pentium processor isn't suited for all tasks
  • A keyboard cover is a must-have add-on but still sold separately
  • And you'll probably want to pay extra for more storage and RAM, too
  • Battery life is lacking for a go-anywhere PC

Microsoft Surface Go review: a little goes a long way

I've been using it for a week now and what I was expecting was a low-end Windows computer to go along with its processor and price. I was expecting to be unimpressed with its small keyboard. We've seen this story before, after all: first with netbooks and then with the original low-end Surfaces.
Pros:
  • Ultra portable
  • Great keyboard
  • Good battery life
Cons:
  • Big bezels mean screen is cramped
  • Dongles
  • Upgraded model is pricey

Microsoft Surface Go : Portable, Purposeful, Not Powerful

Microsoft's history in the budget tablet space is a bit checkered. Remember Surface RT That was a flop. And other smaller Surfaces just never felt right. But the Surface Go ($349 to start, $549 as tested, before accessories) feels just right.
Pros:
  • Attractive with strong build quality
  • Bright
  • vivid display
  • Affordable starting price
Cons:
  • Short battery life
  • Doesn't come with keyboard

Microsoft Surface Go review: This affordable little Windows 10 S tablet is a PC when you need it

Microsoft's 10-inch, $399 Surface Go tablet is a departure from the company's Surface tradition, which put forth expensive, ambitious designs to break trail for the rest of the PC industry.

The Surface Go is an odd thing. Not because of the device itself, so much as how Microsoft ultimately arrived at it. The tablet was reverse-engineered, the low-end addition to the premium Surface line.

The Microsoft Surface Go Is Practically Perfect

Look, $550 is a lot of money... unless you're talking computers. Any computer you buy for that little is firmly a "budget" PC, as far as the people making them are concerned. They're not impressive, or especially fast, or pretty. They're purely functional-the Ford Fiesta of computers.
Pros:
  • It's tiny
  • gorgeous
  • and more productive than an iPad or other cheap PC
Cons:
  • The CPU is still pretty underwhelming

Microsoft Surface Go review: Bringing the fun back to Windows

Conceptually, taking the favorite Surface Pro 2-in-1 PC and shrinking it down to a 10-inch model seems desirable, but with lowering the price and performance of the components there are questions. Is it usable in the lap How good is the performance Can you type well on it Does it even make sense
Pros:
  • Comparatively fast performance
  • Outstanding build quality and hardware
  • All day battery life
  • Excellent display and inking experience
Cons:
  • Windows 10 is still not a great tablet OS
  • 10-inch PC experience has obvious tradeoffs
  • No Thunderbolt 3
