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
The tablet has an integrated kick stand, making it easy to watch video at the right angle, The optional Surface Pen (stylus) lets you take notes, draw and sketch, Also available with 64GB of storage space for £379, Quick to recharge,
The battery life is disappointing, The screen suffers from fingerprint marks and glare in bright light
A great compact tablet that gives a laptop-style experience. More affordable than other Microsoft tablets but still an expensive device. It looks good, but can't compete with a laptop on speed...

USBC support, Super versatile, Great value
Underwhelming battery life, TypeCover keyboard is expensive
Although a poor man's Surface Pro on paper, in practice this petite 2-in-1 is highly versatile, intensely portable and thoroughly charming. If it wasn't for a handful of flaws like its disappointing battery life, it'd almost be a better option than its...

Well built hardware, gorgeous display, flexible hybrid use
It's not exactly powerful, Type Cover is a still a costly extra, USB-C port lacks Thunderbolt 3, battery life leaves much to be desired, thick bezels date the design
The Surface Go is an interesting gadget. It's a better work device than the iPad Pro but can't beat it as pure tablet experience...

Brilliant ergonomics, Fantastic pen and keyboard, Can run full fat Windows 10
Not as slick app experience compared to rivals
There will be people for whom this is tablet nirvana, an oasis in the desert of iOS and Android tablets that they find too phone-like, and not computer-like enough.But if you tried those and found their focused nature to be a positive, the unkempt nature...
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
With the middling performance and not-cheap cost when you factor in the Type Cover, the Surface Go can't quite reach the heights of the 9.7-inch iPad, but the relative versatility that Windows 10 offers means the ultraportable Surface Go is still a solid...
Accessories up the price a lot, Battery life is middling, Massive bezels, S Mode will be limiting for many
The Surface Go isn't a do-anything device like the Surface Book 2 - and neither should you expect it to be given the price difference between the two. Instead, it's a super-portable machine for doing bits and pieces on the go. Emailing, taking notes in a...
Like a mini PC, Facial recognition, Great at multi-tasking, Stylish and sleek
No accessories included, Screen could be better
It's an ultra portable tiny tablet task king that's both stylish and useful. Like having a mini computer on you at all times, it's reassuring to know you can fix that last bit of work on the way to or from work. Or take it with you to meetings and not ha...
The Surface Go is a quiet triumph for Microsoft. The company has successfully distilled what is best about the Surface Pro (portability, usability, great design) into a smaller, cheaper computer than doesn't suffer performance issues as a result.We recomm...

Abstract: Microsoft 's choice of name for the Surface Go is an odd one. “Go” is a strange suffix to attach to a tablet. After all, if you can't use your tablet on the go, then what you're actually looking at is a touchscreen TV set, and there's a reason that sectio...
