The editors didn't like
The CPU is still pretty underwhelming
The Surface Go is a 2-in-1 laptop. But it's a very
Very good one that jumps up to being exceptional when you consider its price versus other devices of the same ilk. It ships as a tablet
But for an additional $100-
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
Sub-1080p resolution
Middling battery life
No fingerprint reader on base model
Very poor specs on base models
Sluggish performance
Janky touchscreen for some apps like Chrome
Keyboard and stylus sold separately
Huge
Thick bezels around display
Limited storage
Poor performance
Smaller Type Cover can be uncomfortable
Battery life isn't much to speak of
Windows 10 in S Mode lacks app flexibility
Short battery life
Thick bezels
Keyboard and pen cost extra
Narrow
Extra-cost keyboard is more comfortable on a desk than on a lap
Mild-mannered performance
Middling speed
Keyboard is cramped and costs extra
Narrow for on-lap use
No full-size USB ports
Average performance
USB-C hub may be needed for I/O expansion
No eSIM support
Battery life could be better
$130 extra for LTE drives down value
Subpar battery life
Keys aren't backlit
Base specs underwhelm
Accessories need to be purchased separately
Battery life
Extra $130 hard to justify for most
Big bezels mean screen is cramped
Dongles
Screen resolution is underwhelming
Entry-level configuration makes big spec compromises
