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.

While I wouldn't make a Surface Go my primary machine for graphical/video creativity work or demanding tasks-Microsoft acknowledges this is not really its place-it's still a fine choice for a lean, mean travel companion.
Pros:
  • Low-cost entry point to the Surface line
  • Build quality is high
  • Small, lightweight design
  • Good potential for education use
Cons:
  • Middling speed
  • Keyboard is cramped and costs extra
  • Narrow for on-lap use
  • No full-size USB ports

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

Pros:
  • Attractive with strong build quality
  • Bright
  • vivid display
  • Affordable starting price
Cons:
  • Short battery life
  • Doesn't come with keyboard
