I purchased this item to carry with me when I am out and about. It serves the purpose of a laptop, a writing pad, and all of the useful tablet functions.

The Surface Go sits in a somewhat interesting segment of the market. The base model has a price that's low enough to be considered a value proposition, but like all value devices, there's compromise to get there.

The line between Ultrabooks and tablets is getting thinner by the day, with tablets getting more powerful and traditional laptops getting leaner. Lately, Microsoft has diverted its attention from software and has been focusing on refining its laptops and convertibles meant to challenge Apple's iPad...

Microsoft Surface Go review: Surface Go should be seen an affordable on-the-go computing device for those who like to read and write...

I bought the base model after reading a bunch of reviews and was pleasantly surprised at how responsive the Go was. I own Mac products and needed something "Windows" for some older applications that I use in survey. I could never justify the PRO price tag!

We all have a dream of our perfect gadget, don’t we? It’s smart and accessible like a smartphone, powerful and robust like a laptop, has flawless touch support, endless battery life, and is light enough to hold in one hand. Microsoft’s Surface devices have done more than any other to make that dream reality. Yet they’ve also revealed that building a no-compromise PC isn’t easy. The Surface Go is Microsoft’s most recent attempt at fulfilling that dream, and a follow-up to the Surface 3 from 2015. It’s a 10-inch tablet running a full version of Windows 10 with an Intel Pentium chip at its heart, and it starts at just $400. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but Microsoft has made meaningful improvements. The original Surface wasn’t just the first 2-in-1 device of its kind — it was also Microsoft’s first foray into designing and manufacturing hardware. It’s hard to believe how great the Surface Go looks and feels just six years in. It’s a single piece of unibody aluminum, in many ways reminis...

Remarkably sturdy for its price; Beautiful design and display; Type Cover is impressive; Affordably priced;

Clunky performance; Tablet experience is lacking; Type Cover is a pricey add-on;

In the land of the pro tablet, the iPad Pro is king. Well, okay, maybe that depends on whether you count the likes of Microsoft Surface Pro as ‘tablet' or ‘touchscreen PC with optional keyboard', but if we're talking 10-inch traditional tablet form factor, Apple's had it fairly well sewn up.

Brilliant ergonomics; Fantastic pen and keyboard; Can run full fat Windows 10

Not as slick app experience compared to rivals

Let's face it, the lack of decent Android tablets on the market is an indictment on Google for how they have dropped the ball when it comes to the Android tablet ecosystem. As such this lack of tablets (the Pixel Slate is $700US and not available here) has many of us looking elsewhere to replace...

Watch any recent advert for Microsoft's Surface Go, and you may have got the impression that this is a nifty little 2-in-1 laptop computer. If that's the case, then I'm here to tell you this isn't strictly true.

Windows 10 gives users plenty of freedom; Extremely portable; Kick-stand offers versatility

Pricey considering Type Cover isn't bundled in; Low-powered performance; Dated design
